The Infiltration Continues

Another loony-left liberal has crawled from the Corbynite closet to threaten Britain's national security and ancient badger-busting rights. The muesli-munching director general of the CBI told a corduroy-packed conference of sandal-clad entrepreneurs that the Government's reversal of green policies was sending mixed messages and would result in lost investment. The mixed messages, of course, are all the fault of the last Labour government which, hard as it tried, failed to align itself sufficiently with the policies of its successor. Notably, Labour passed the Climate Change Act of 2008, which requires governments to interfere in free markets beyond their elected terms, and which is despised as a slur upon British democracy by ministers and back-bench baboons alike. The Department of Energy and Climate Change, which recently decided to take a Liberal Democrat approach to mere pledges, responded with a slightly edited press release from the brilliant Iain Duncan Smith's Department of Workfare and Privation, in which level playing fields and hard-working families received all due homage, and in which the Government promised to continue helping the green industry stand on its own two feet by fracking the ground from under it.
