Bottom Feeders

Now that our great kingdom's independence from the beastly Euro-wogs has set free the Britishness of our environmental policy, it is of course only natural and predictable that the Government agency charged with protecting the marine environment should have brought a court case against an organisation concerned with protecting the marine environment, over measures which the latter took in order to protect the marine environment. As might be expected, the Government's licensing laws in coastal conservation areas are sufficiently British to permit extensive destruction of the sea-bed with consequent entrepreneurial adaptation of a significant carbon sink into a significant carbon release mechanism. Greenpeace dropped boulders into the sea in one such area, thereby hindering the practice of bottom-fishing without harming anything else; the Marine Management Organisation prosecuted and then, in keeping with the way things are done nowadays, decided not to offer any evidence. As a result, the case has now been contumeliously dismissed by an enemy of the people who evidently thinks the taxpayers' money would be better spaffed away on some less worthy cause.
