Well, with the best intention in the world, it’s been a while again, so must try harder. But here are some Nibblets in case you’ve been feeling withdrawn. As a side note we will be adding a “What’s On” section to Newsnibbles, so if you have some exciting local event that you would like to get out there to our tens of readers then send us an email, and we will see what we can do.
Badgers See Off BNP
Well, here at Newsnibbles we were keeping you informed about the anti cull protest march a couple of Saturdays ago. What we didn’t know, (and are really quite glad we didn’t know) was that the BNP was also marching in London that day. We don’t know why they were marching, nor do we care so please don’t write in and tell us. What is fun about this story, and thus worthy of our attention is that according to The International Business Times clashes between the BNP and Anti Fascist groups were totally upstaged by the anti cull protesters. Apparently the BNP found themselves chased through the streets by women dressed as badgers chanting “Smash the cull, smash the BNP”. If anyone took a photo we would love to see. That’s all on that one, folks.
Not Quite The Balcony Scene…
That was a Shakespeare reference there, cos we’re cultured n shiz, So, police in Belgium have asked the owner of a performing donkey to remove him from a balcony as his singing disturbs the neigh-bours (see what we did there?). As if this story wasn’t random enough his owner has refused, according to Metro, saying “I say to the neighbours, “well done, what does it matter to you?” The report goes on to say that the police are prepared to forcibly remove the donkey from the balcony if necessary. We don’t know if the donkey is playing Juliet, but we just hope that none of the parties involved make an ass of themselves. Well, it had to be done, didn’t it?
Badger Misses Out on Birthday Honours, Again.
Well, as you may know the Queen’s birthday honours list was announced this week, and once again Badger got nothing. That is right, no services to sarcasm, no acknowledgement of the sterling work she does managing this fantastic publication and reaching out to tens of people at least weekly (usually). Absolutely nothing. What? This is as newsworthy as any other story.
