How many police officers does it take to arrest an anti-Royal Wedding pensioner? Around 20 it would seem...



In a staggeringly heavy-handed and over-the-top operation (funded, of course, by the taxpayer), three police cars and two police vans turned up yesterday at the home of Professor Chris Knight and his partner Camilla Power and arrested them and fellow street-performer Patrick Macroida. Their "crime" was organising the Zombie Wedding, an anti-Royal Wedding street theatre event planned for today. I think it's probably fair to say that the police hadn't expected to find a Channel 4 film crew there (they were filming for their show The Unofficial Royal Wedding to be shown on Monday), but hey, life is full of surprises!

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said “This evening, 28 April, officers arrested three people – two males aged 68 and 45, and a 60-year-old woman – in Wickham Road, SE4 on suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance and breach of the peace."

Spice up your Christmas tree with Boob Ball baubles

Are you bored with decorating your tree with the same old baubles every year? Struggling to keep abreast of the latest developments in Christmas decorations? Well why not dangle some miniature boobies from your Christmas tree? Boob Balls are tiny breast-shaped Christmas tree baubles available in both 'beige' and African American flavours, (but only, it would appear, in one cup size). At only $7.60 per bauble (that's $15.20 per pair - surely it'd be wrong to just buy one?) you can afford to give your whole tree a knocker-themed make-over.  Now does anyone know where I can get miniature bra tinsel?

Middle-class families to strike over child benefit cuts | NewsBiscuit

the canapes will have to wait
"Britain is bracing itself for a Winter of Discontent after the middle class last night balloted its members over industrial action to protest at the scrapping of child benefit for higher-rate taxpayers. A ‘yes’ vote could see mass walkouts by middle-class families as early as November, with experts warning such a move could cripple vital public services such as Parent Teacher Association fetes and the continued administration of the Home Counties dinner party circuit."
