Tory backbench MP's have moved swiftly to take advantage of the confusion left at the Energy Ministry in the wake of Chris Huhne's resignation to undermine wind farms. "Now that LibDem twat is out of the way," a Tory backbencher told us, "and before another LibDem twat takes over, we have a chance to slash the subsidy these evil machines attract. Not that we are against wind farms as such - we're just against those wind farms that are visible from where we live. We don't mind saving the planet as long as we don't have to suffer the intolerable burden of spoiling the view from our living rooms. Many of them could be located in working-class areas or in Scotland and Wales where we have no MP's anyway. Better yet we could install treadmills in jobcentres and make the unemployed supply electricity to the grid. There are many things that could be done rather than spoiling good grouse shooting or fox hunting country. I myself have directly suffered as a windmill has spoilt the view of the electricity pylons in the field next door."
