If the latter, tell the buggers to go stuff themselves...
Oh, you can indeed hire the BoB Memorial flight to overfly your event, gobsmackingly expensive though. They most likely did fly somewhere today but I missed it.

Now the BBC has far more important things to cover, the demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament by pro-hunt supporters and the invasion of the floor of the house by some protestors.

All this after Batman (man in costume) evaded Buck House security and disported on the balcony with protest banner.

Many people have been telling the Beeb to go stuff itself, and it has been roundly criticised lately for being less than impartial.

Ho hum.

Now I must scan something for your esteemed forum about a German marked French truck, I have been teasing info from the secretive and guarded Baron Paulus von Hocking; I even have a borrowed reference work.
