A bike, a bike. My Kingdom etc. etc.


Suppose it had to happen really when it is so often in the news. Dear Dave (Tory leader bloke) has had his pedal cycle stolen. Seems he nipped into some fashionable retailer to get the salad bits. On his return with the sun dried and a selection of organics, his trusty steed was gone.
Had he secured it will be asked? Well, sort of. Chain and padlock - best that considerable money could buy, were deployed. He used a bollard. His education in the ways of the great unwashed did not include any lecture or demonstration of just how bike and chain can be lifted to separate goodies from security. We do not know just how hard he would like to hug a hoodie at that exact moment.
Theories as to the identity of the offender are varied. His chauffeur pished at having to motor along behind him? Press minder hoping to keep him out of one way streets and red traffic light signals. The theorising has not included the Opposition. Maybe Gordon wanting to ride about at night to check how many of his subjects recognised him? Little bit of low key electioneering in Glasgow?
Other hotties will intervene before we get the next PMQ after the break or the theft might have been the subject of some cut and thrust banter. We will never know if he loses any part of his no claim bonus or just what the John Lewis price is for a push bike, PM, for use of, suitable.

Country-wide searches are being carried out.
