British Wind

A minister in the UK government has been making news for his assertion that proposed investments in renewable energy will power homes with “British wind”. 

A short selection of some of the responses on Twitter, to his statement:

Can't the British wind turbines be adapted to accept continental wind? Maybe two blades instead of three?

"British wind, yes. Good, strong, honest, British wind. Not this limp, vapid Continental wind smelling of Gauloises and sauerkraut but proper old red white and blue wind. The wind that filled the sails of Drake's ships. The wind that flowed over the wings of Spitfires."

Idiot Paul Scully has taken Brexit irrationality to new depths, boasting that offshore wind farms will be powered by British wind. Gale force flatulence, straight from a Brexit arse.
