Big Wind, Small Change

Not content with implying that the Atlantic slave trade was something Britain perpetrated as well as abolished, several Caribbean governments have requested, of all things, help in repairing the hurricane damage which regularly afflicts their countries. Acting on the working-class Christian values which he shares with the Trumpster's running mate, the Foreign Secretary has pledged the cost of a few corporate lunches to tide matters over until the next disaster; but the Caribbean governments have once again failed to respond with appropriate gratitude, and have even numbered Britain among the "major emitters" most responsible for the climate catastrophe. Apparently news has yet to reach the Caribbean concerning Britain's world-beating record in the battle against global heating, which extends to permitting oil companies to sponsor national museums and thereby cleanse themselves of sin.
