THE REVOLUTION STARTS (AND ENDS) HERE!

Troops were today sent into the Soviet Of Monkton after the Socialist Party candidate John Bissett declared independence from the rest of the Borough’s wards. Mr Bissett, who has had the entire Communist Manifesto tattooed on his back, declared from his Russian built Robin Reliant, that “the people of Monkton have taken matters into their own hands and declared independence.” President Bissett sadly did not reign very long as he was crushed by a rather large and ugly slab of slate marked “Luke’s Lane Estate” which somehow fell on him. Mr Bissett will be given a full state funeral and will be buried next to Lenin (that’s Billy Lenin, who used to own the fish shop at Calf Close).
