Safetification Prioritisation

In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo murders, Britain's Head Boy has been having a bit of a burble about the brave young spooks who stand shoulder to shoulder with the police in the firing line of the war against evil. Since last year's Lake Paterson fiasco in southern England, the imprudence of proclaiming money no object has penetrated even the Daveybloke intellect, and financial commitments have been limited to a hundred million. Doubtless the money will be drawn from the Chancellor's personal campaign fund against his most dangerous enemy, the mad old cat lady in the Home Office. Being, as the last four and a half years have proved rather conclusively, entirely devoid of concern for the country as a whole, George Osborne is free to devote all his efforts to the career of George Osborne, and a quick flanking manoeuvre to associate himself with closed borders, secret courts and snoopers' charters is clearly just the thing. The Deputy Conservatives are putting up token resistance to some of the more macho measures, but if eternal surveillance is the price of their little red boxes they will certainly come around before long.
