Cleanliness is Next to Britishness

Since a true Englishman hates few things more than a hypocrite, Her Majesty's Government has wagged an admonitory finger at a global management consultancy over its involvement in state corruption. Besides being a mis-spelling of a large Batman villain, the consultancy consulted with a former president of South Africa (not, alas, that nice Mr Botha) to re-shape the country's economy, in a flagrantly disreputable manner not at all reminiscent of certain right-wing British politicians and their chums among the press and profiteers. While casually knocking eight months off a three-year ban, the National Johnson's sometime stick insect in charge of shortages and lorry parks scolded the consultancy for its questionable integrity and for not taking its own culpability seriously enough. By a fortunate coincidence the consultancy is not one of Her Majesty's Government's strategic suppliers, which will come as a surprise to those enemies of the people who have thus far failed to credit Her Majesty's Government with a strategy.
