Under a Cloud

While emitting the standard blather about tough choices, the Cummings administration's Treasury spad has allocated the usual squillions to major polluters and fossil fuel profiteers while shuffling around some small change for energy efficiency. A pressure group of pessimists sent a letter some weeks ago, pointing out that the plans, if plans is quite the word, are too pitiful to meet even the Government's own self-proclaimed target; but those appointed by destiny to embody and fulfil the will of the people have better things to do than engage with noisy fact-bigots about mere international obligations, and the Government did not deign to respond. Therefore, motivated by über-foreign levels of hatred for the world-beating and by a corresponding and wholly unpatriotic passion for the merely legal, the group is now collaborating with enemies of the people and fraternising with the beastly Euro-wogs and their fiendish reality-based recovery programmes, in order to sabotage Global Britain's victory over the weather.
