Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 22nd October 2023
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. The streets were filled last night with disappointed rugby fans, as D-Town Ramblers narrowly failed in their bid to reach the final of the West Wiltshire (Northern Section) Germolene Cup. Having led by the narrowest of margins (one sin-bin, one cauliflower ear, one cut lip and one abusive tirade at the ref to two dislocated fingers), the side were forced to concede a last-minute penalty for singing in the scrum. Afterwards the captain Chris P. Bacon, admitted that his team had simply not been good enough, but said that he was proud of the team for the broken noses, black eyes and violent tackles they’d handed out to the opposition.
2. And in an entirely expected turn of events, two Tory councillors lost their seats to Starmerite Centrists in two local by-elections. In a massive turn-out of nearly 5%, the voters of D-Town clearly showed exactly what they thought of modern-day politics and politicians. The Tories lost majorities of nearly 5 and 7 respectively, which is a record for the size of a double landslide this side of the Covid holiday. Truly we are living in The End Times.
