Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 26th May 2024
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. The General Election campaign has got underway at a local level, with all parties vying to publish the most eye-catching policies. The first blow has been struck by the Tories who want to bring back National Service. In a direct dog-whistle to their gammon demographic, the party has further announced a whole raft of back-up measures, including the re-employment of small children to climb the chimneys of D-Town’s Grade 2-listed buildings, and a gradual move back towards the good old days of malnutrition and rickets.
2. DIA (D-Town International Airways) has apologised to passengers who were caught up in last week’s flight from D-Town to Chipping Sodbury (change for Basingstoke) which was caught in “unexpected” turbulence over the Cotswolds. A spokesman for the airline said that it fell far short of its normal standards. “We pride ourselves on flying through expected turbulence and giving our passengers an experience they’ll never forget,” he said. “But this particular turbulence had not been booked or scheduled by us, and we shall be having a frank exchange of tea and biscuits with the Met Office”.
