Pond Life

Thanks to the worst drought in thirty years, and doubtless thanks also to excessive business regulation and EU diktats on wildlife protection, the Environment Agency has warned of possibly catastrophic consequences for river and wetland species. Over-use of water is being blamed: Thames Water has been criticised for failing to fix leaky pipes, so the Bullingdon Club's environment token and failed forest salesbeing, Caroline Spelman, has been wagging the finger at the proles for using too much. Some of the other water companies are talking about sharing moistural resources, although it is not clear how far the Government will be prepared to tolerate any such undermining of that sacred principle of competition which has done so much for our banking sector and which is soon to save the National Health Service from itself.
