What if the unrecorded subtext was that certain members of the House of Commons believed that the British Hat and Allied Feltmakers Research Association was quivering at the threshold of a tremendous felt-based technology that could help the Empire stop shedding its global constituents, one that could even return it to world supremacy? -- Wholesome felt-based food for the masses, say, or [whispering] the rumored B.H.A.F.R.A. Nuclear Felt Cannon?
I (I, for one) will never think dismissively of felt again.

Possibly taking a lead from Milo Minderbinder's Egyptian Cotton misadventures...
