Davey's Chill Axing

Government advisers, of course, tend to be scientists and civil servants and other disreputable sorts; so it is predictable that the greenest government ever should be suffering calumny over its latest panic measures to stem the flow of green crap. The Deputy Conservative doormat at the Department for Energy Cartel Consolation has announced a tangle of measures whose exact details will not hit the back of an envelope until January, but which the Government evidently hopes will stop all talk of an energy price freeze by instead freezing those who pay. Excess deaths rose by nearly a third last winter, and the Government is trying to build on these encouraging results by backtracking on its home insulation policy. This will keep the energy companies happy (although the chief executive of one company has already complained because the wrong levies have been cut), and the happiness will doubtless be passed on to surviving consumers at the cartel's pleasure and discretion.
