Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and happiness is a confiscated television set;
THE Conservatives will propose banning plasma screens and other energy-guzzling electrical goods in a report to be unveiled next week.
The proposals target white goods like fridges and freezers, as well as TVs, personal computers and DVD players that use too much energy or operate on stand-by.
The ideas come from a Conservative group set up by David Cameron to develop policies to protect the environment and although the measures to make household electrical appliances more energy efficient are not binding on Mr Cameron, they are thought likely to be warmly received by the Tory leader.
The group will also suggest scrapping Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a measure of the nation’s success in favour of a model that measures people’s happiness drawn up up by Friends of the Earth.
God save the Queen.
gd,
Quebec and the east have had their hands out for so long under Liberal rule, they don’t even know what it means to be in the black. An unfortunate reality, but for the Conservatives to get a majority in the House, to be able to make any progress in Canada, they have to appease, for the interim, what the Liberals created. And whose bloody fault is that anyway!
conservatives?
In all fairness, Blair’s gone, and this is a Conservative proposal, not Labour.
One wonders if “Conservative” has any meaning whatsoever in Blighty anymore.
