Robber spared deportation: When did 'family' mean some bird I met in the pub?/May 17th 2011.

Richie - Saturday I dusted off my blazer and cravat in the manner of Tim Nice But Dim and headed to London for the spectacularly unsuccessful Rally for Cuts debacle. To be honest, it should have been renamed the Really Freaky People Rally such was the assortment of nutters and loons on show! Our hallowed Auntie Beeb estimated the number to be 350 but 150 was nearer the mark, all bussed in from the outer reaches of political ga-ga land. Fruitcake-in-chief Nige Farage was there, of course, so too a number of Pimms swillers from that 'independent' organisation Taxpayers Alliance which, as we all know, is really a right wing ponzi scheme sponsored by the Tories. There were a few shouts of "Cut Libraries Now" and "Privatise the NHS" as well as one or two mutterings advocating the return of the workhouse. Unfortunately old Wob was found out when I gave a rousing rendition of The Red Flag near the MOD and was carted off pronto on a trumped-up charge of being drunk in a public place! Mad I say!
