While the boilers still function perhaps we should stoke them with the entire parliamentary crew and the mandarins and hope they don't choke the flues! Their replacement? Hire only those who have horny hands and/or numerate degrees. Nice boys and girls with PPE or Meeja experience can go to the back of the queue for about 50 years.
My main beef is not so much with PPE and Public Relations types per se, but I reckon we have had too much of it, time for more solid fare - by about 2062 we should then be ready for a more amusing diet.

While I quite concur with your suggestions regarding alternative boiler fuels, I am old enough to remember the CEGB, and the pleasures of the Three-Day Week and other periods of homework by candlelight throughout the seventies, so I'm not quite so keen on the nationalisation idea.
The Interwebs won't work without electric, which in my more conspiratorial moments leads me to conclude that this is one of the reasons environmentalists are so keen on clamping down on generation.
Brian - I remember the three day week too, although I tend to blame Heath.
I like your theory about environmentalists wanting to clamp down on the interweb via generation. Hadn't thought of that!
Perhaps we should nationalise
Who is "we", Roger?
