Plans To Improve 'Clone' Villages

The title of this post is taken from the headline of an article in the print edition of the Daily Telegraph which reports that thousands of shops, (which are closing faster than they can be opened) pubs (likewise) and community halls will be built alongside new homes in an attempt to halt the spread of 'clone' towns and villages. The aim of this soon to be made government announcement is to prevent 'bland' and 'sterile' new towns.

Stands to reason, really, if you think about it. In their attempt to 'clone' the population by making us all think, speak, act and behave as they wish the government may just as well decide the environment in which they wish us 'clones' to live.

To paraphrase Henry II, will no-one rid me of this troublesome government?
