Radiating Sovereignty

Yet another cabal of interfering foreigners is nagging Her Majesty's Government to abide by, of all things, the letter of an international convention. In its zeal to take back control of our energy supplies by outsourcing them to the French state, the Government decided to take a Bethmann-Hollweg attitude towards a scrap of paper called the Aarhus convention, and has now been censured for having failed to consult the German public over the blanched radioactive pachyderm at Hinkley Point C. Already this week the pachyderm been criticised by the National Audit Office and had its price tag upgraded to Democratic Unionist proportions; so a spokesbeing from the Ministry for Backhanders, Profiteering and Mates' Rates greeted the Aarhus committee's scolding with an expectable shrug of complacency. Her Majesty's Government is confident that the blanched radioactive pachyderm will have "no significant adverse effect on the environment of any other country;" although given the present liberal attitude towards environment-related demises among the natives, it remains as yet unclear how many foreign taxpayer megadeaths Her Majesty's Government would consider significant, let alone adverse.
