Storms Here and There

As the flurry of this last scandal broke, a government minister - whose name is not worth looking up - suggested that if anyone feels intimidated by a police officer they should ‘Wave down a bus’.

It is not surprising that this week a crate of 1071 rotten bad apples was left outside of New Scotland Yard in London, enough to ruin every batch of hard cider coming out of Somerset.
