Stormy Weather

As one would expect in the present era of new politics and responsible government, a minority in Daveybloke's Cuddly Cabinet are starting to wonder whether it might be advisable to have some sort of contingency plan should persistent bad weather lead to further delays in the private sector's glorious rescue of the economy. Strategy, it appears, is not something the Fairly Frightfully Dim Party much cares for, preferring instead to plunder public assets, throw money at rich wastrels and punish the poor, or "get out of the way of the private sector" as Britain's leading liberal newspaper hath it. A few ministers have even noticed that the private sector's eagerness to leap into the breach that the Government is so considerately widening has not displayed quite the foaming fervour that was hoped for, and some are even suggesting that the Government should postpone some of the destruction until the last two years of the parliament, presumably on the grounds that, thanks to the greenest government in history, the weather will have warmed up so much by then that nobody will notice.
