April fool?

There is a report in the Telegraph today which, if it was not April 1st, I could well believe to be true, given the Fascist tendencies of this and the previous government.

It says that the Government are to appoint a “Lights Tsar” department, whose members are entitled to demand entry to your house and turn off any lights that are left on in an empty room. How I hate all present day politicians, even when they are not responsible for something!

The article can be seen here although, thanks to the Telegraph’s new paywall, you may not be able to see it.

  1. It only costs £1.99 to get round (over ?) the pay wall.

    This is almost certainly a practical joke, although in the current climate it could easily not be.

  2. FEEG,

    Good evening and may you be forgiven!

    I’ve just spent one of my precious 20 free DT pre-paywall iives of April 2013 to click on your link, So,that’ll be 19 left before I am cast into the outer darkness!

    Definitely an April Fool but thank you for sharing.

  3. Just clear your cookies and then it is free. At least, it is from here.
    I don’t think it was a good idea to print this, gives the eco-poodles a new idea.
    Can we shoot them on the doorstep? that would be fun!

  4. Yes, I was meaning to add at the end of the post……. “unless you clear your cookies”. Thanks for the tip Christina.

  5. No thanks to me. LW revealed the larcenous trick and I was happy to oblige!
    Not putting more money in the pockets of the Herm (?) brotherly contingent!
