Leading By Example

Fresh from showing off his new wellies to the soggy proles in Cumbria, Britain's Head Boy has toddled off to Paris to lecture the Euro-wogs on the merits of shale-fracking, Chinese uranium and dumping the green crap. Britain's Head Boy has whisked along his Clegg-pledging token filly at the Department for Exacerbating Climate Change, and they have both decided to fly because trains are for vulgar people and any cost to the environment will be offset by the United Nations. A spokesbeing for the token filly's ministry said that ministers used "the most efficient and cost effective modes of transport available", the calculations presumably having been made by George Osborne and checked by the brilliant Iain Duncan Smith.
