Yes folks its time for another round of cheap
drivel and claptrap. And Im not necessarily talking about this column. Although some
might like to differ. No Im leading you into the topic of politics. Yes were
all pretty sure we are soon to embark upon that sticky road of lies intrigue and
manifestos that baffle us all by the time polling day gets here. Looking around town
recently I thunked to myself. Do you know I ought to have a stab at this (Running for
government that is, and not charging at the town with a meat cleaver. Mind you it might
beat cavorting about the place in a big silly hat and a bar-bell yelling to deaf people
about whats on during the holiday season.) Moving swiftly on how ever, I quickly
became unstuck for two reasons; the first is I couldnt raise the dosh for the
deposit in a hurry Id spent my asylum seeking allowance in the newly opened Robin
Hood over the weekend. And secondly I dont really stand for any particular party,
not belonging to any of the old faithfuls you understand. So on reflecting for
a while I came up with what seemed to be the only sensible conclusion. Who shouted shoot
yourself? No it was to start my own. So here you are, you read it here first folks, the
start of the official Vic's party for common sense and no particular religion or
orientation. The last two parts being optional and strictly politically correct. I call it
V.I.C.S. The VICTOR of IDEOLOGY and COMMON SENSE party. So to encompass your
hearts and minds towards me I have published my albeit brief, manifesto as follows. 1/
I/we (if I can get my mum to sponsor me) promise a plethora of signed erections! Down
along the prom. All with clear instructions to all canines that the walking of human
beings will not be allowed at any time. This species has flouted the decency laws on
canine excrement a million times now and still refuse to remove the offending brown
black green and white doings. All dogs with owners will be instructed to seat the owner(s)
on the benches along the prom whilst the dog or dogs do their doo all over the beach etc.
so that the owner can nonchalantly pretend not to see the offence taking place. We also
promise to make provision and provide funding for each and every dog across the land to
undergo literacy instruction so that there will be in future no excuse for not being able
to read the signs. Any breach of this new directive will lead to an immediate ban of the
early morning trots during the walkies from said area and a fine of placing your pal in
the pound until his diet or reading improves, which ever is the sooner. If this sign
scheme is successful we will extend it to include all members of the feline family,
drunken underage binge drinkers, and the potty festival-goers during the summer season. Concert in Langham Parish Church
May we send a big THANK YOU to all those who attended the QUIZ NIGHT presented by JON

sell-out and everyone who attended enjoyed the event and look forward to the next one. The
Secretary of The Friends of Kelling School announced that after expenses for the hall hire
and refreshments the event raised over £160 for the school funds. The Quiz Champions were
