Teaching the Juniors to Smoke

Britain's leading role in the fight against climate change continues after the fashion one would expect from a nation which not only has the jabbering homunculus Michael Gove as its environment secretary, but has also appointed a couple of hundred thousand rich white racists to choose Jeremy C Hunt or the Imperial Haystack as its prime minister. UK Export Finance, the government agency responsible for trading beads with the wogs, has been boasting about the "best results for 28 years," apparently because it has cut its support for renewables to approximately one two-thousand-eight-hundred-and-fifty-seventh of the total spent increasing the likelihood of a catastrophe. A couple of hundred millions' worth of subsidies for oil refineries and exploration in the Middle East and Brazil are, as always, helping to ensure the competitiveness of British industry; although naturally UK Export Finance fully recognises the importance of tackling climate change, to the extent that the aviation and motor industries are not even included in the figures, in case some distortion should inadvertently adulterate the glittering truth about Britain's global leadership.
