Not Quite the Cuts We Had in Mind

Britain's greenest government ever has failed to prevent the Euro-wogs imposing a binding target for use of renewable energy. Despite the best efforts of the Deputy Conservative doormat at the Department for Enhancing Climate Change, the EU voted to cut its emissions by forty per cent over the next seventeen years, and to produce twenty-seven per cent of its energy from renewable sources within the same time-frame. The doormat in question, Ed Davey (not to be confused with Ed or Davey), grudgingly called the measures "a step in the right direction", evidently because they constitute somewhat less of a backward canter than he had worked for. Davey "remains concerned about any renewables target", owing to the likely deleterious effects on his masters' chums in the nuclear and shale-fracking industries if the great British public should fail to deliver a referendum vote in favour of non-Balkanised high streets and properly curved bananas.
