Facts Off-Message Again

Mere scientists have once again shown their chronic lack of Britishness by daring to differ with the scientific opinion of a jumped-up newspaper columnist. In the interests of saving Britain from Labour's calamitously clumsy plot to cut emissions by actually cutting emissions, the Imperial Haystack decreed that British scientists were on the verge of producing virtually unlimited clean energy by means of optimistic nuclear fusion. Despite the Haystack's famous powers of reportage, large amounts of energy can in fact be released by means of nuclear fusion; but, rather like the Conservative Party, the process tends to consume more than it produces. Probably because of their pedantic adherence to facts regardless of patriotic duty, scientists in general are among the least optimistic commentators when it comes to deploying our native Britishness in the war on unnecessary preservation of the species.
