Leading from Behind

Liberation from the Nazi-Soviet yoke of Brusso-Strasbourg has enhanced Global Britain's planet-saving leadership in much the manner one would expect. Her Majesty's Government may ban single-use plastic dinner services in a year or two, and a deposit-return scheme for plastic bottles may well be almost ready to be considered a year or two after that. The UK Plastics Pact, which doubtless some people have heard of, is investigating possible action on crisp packets by the middle of the decade. Crippled as they are by bureaucracy and anti-nationalist fervour, the beastly Euro-wogs can only gaze with envy upon the entrepreneurial pluck and gumption of these doings, having already pre-empted most of them in a futile effort at sabotage.
