Deservedly Saved

Britain's employment figures are set to receive another boost, with up to seventy more jobs being saved in the Mediterranean. A number of threats to British livelihoods had embarked from Libya, where the entrepreneurial situation remains about as favourable as can be expected after Britain and its greatest ally democratised the country some years ago: a moral improvement unaccountably unmentioned by Britain's leading liberal newspaper. The boat sank forty miles off the Tunisian coast; and despite the inconsiderate interference of various fisher-folk too primitive to know better, the economy of Global Britain was duly rescued from at least fifty causes of legitimate and understandable concern.
