'Not to put too fine a point on it, ' the Home Secretary stated, 'the delays in getting power to large new housing developments across the UK is a disgrace, but this new proposal to actually generate power on big sites removes the ransom, or stranglehold, you lot have held on progress for quite long enough.'
She signalled to Hogg-Wright, who produced a copy of the fat document in its comb-binder and plastic covers.
'This contains all you need to know about how, from now on, developers will be able to provide essentially free electricity to their buyers, generated on-site from gas turbines powered by human waste. It is a clever solution which will unlock countless housing sites across the country.'
Those in the meeting were visibly shocked and looked at each other in bemusement.
This timely and amusing political satire gives a tongue-in-cheek insight into what might happen in Whitehall and Downing Street if the party in power discover a new way to promote their 'green agenda' using a method of electricity generation based on human poo.Of course, it can't work, or at least it can't work quite as they envisage it. And the real effort being made by academics and clever students out of the public eye might need to come to their rescue. But then there are the property developers and the temptations to cut a few corners. Will it all go off bang? With clever insights into how those in power in Westminster conduct business and the shenanigans which go on behind the scenes, this tale will raise a smile, both from those who know their way around the corridors of power and the rest of us, who look on askance at their ineptitude.
