Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 23rd July 2023
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Queues formed around several blocks in the town last night as people tried to gain access to the opening night of the long-awaited film “Barbenheimer”. The film tells the story of how a scientist who identified as a female doll, and dressed all in pink, made the discovery that would threaten the peace of the free world. Accompanied by his/her/their boy/girlfriend Ken, Professor Barbie wears a rather fetching little hat and stares meaningfully into the camera as a CGI-generated atomic explosion takes place behind him. Drinks, crisps and pipcorn are expected to be in short supply throughout the run.
2. Meanwhile, in political circles, new hope was born this week. In by-elections elsewhere in the country, both Labour and the Liberals over-turned massive previous Tory majorities to take parliamentary seats. As it has now been proved conclusively that even safe seats, such as D-Town (where people will vote Tory even if the candidate is a slowly-cooling pile of shit, topped with a blue flag), can be won after all, there will be a new spring in the step of constituency hopefuls.
