Policy in Exchange

It certainly is fortunate that corruption is as un-British a phenomenon as law-breaking, institutional racism and hypocrisy, otherwise this sort of thing might be cause for some concern. Policy Exchange, a think-tank which recommended branding as extremists those who dislike the idea of corporations committing deliberate genocide for a percentage, received a five-figure bung from ExxonMobil, whose ecological credentials have been fairly well known since 1989 and its little indiscretion at Prince William Sound. Policy Exchange's recommendations were incorporated into the Johnson régime's Prison for the Plebs Act, as the law-abiding Minister for Wog Disposal denounced Extinction Rebellion in her accumstomed sane and sensible terms. Though profoundly unsurprising in the circumstances, ExxonMobil's donation was of course unconnected with the report, which was compiled entirely in a spirit of disinterested pragmatism.
