Still Lagging Behind Us

As fuel poverty strikes down the shirkers, and as Britain's patriotic press goes into its annual panic about cold weather in winter, the pathetic losers of two world wars and one World Cup have been paying the price for their underinvestment in shale-fracking and blanched radioactive pachyderms. An excess of politically correct energy means that supply has on several occasions exceeded demand, so that consumers have been forced to suffer the indignity of being paid to use electricity. Doubtless thanks to the opacity of the Brussels-Strasbourg axis, it remains as yet unclear how much damage these payouts have done to the former British-occupied territory, whose chancellor's notoriously migrant-friendliness and other Trotskyite tendencies helped force the mainland's Conservative MEPs into its present coalition with the Jew-baiters, climate change deniers and fans of the Latvian Waffen-SS.
