Strong at Home

Doubtless owing to the intervention of some malignant, antisemitic, Czech Communist djinn, at least one pledge by the fiend Corbyn appears to have slithered past the vigilance of the Starmeite censors. The 2017 Labour manifesto promised an inquiry into the Battle of Orgreave, in which mounted police assaulted the kind of working people the current administration would, where at all possible, rather not be seen as the party of; and the Ministry for Keeping the Rabble in Line is working at pace to determine how best to exonerate everyone who matters and avoid compensating anyone who doesn't. Three weeks before last year's general election was called, the relevant police force enhanced the pace of work by destroying two boxfuls of the relevant records, thereby ensuring that the progress of any inquiry will not be excessively prolonged with a lot of tedious evidence. All connoisseurs of British decency will rejoice that His Majesty's Domestic Enforcers have so little to hide, and trust that their helpfulness may soon be appropriately rewarded.
