At this point, you have to doubt whether the Met find their own arseholes with both hands and a good map. #London

Star Wars film pitch:

A garbled communication is intercepted from Yoda. A few locations and people can be made out, but no full sentences, except for one, right at the end:

"Nothing is what it seems to be"

Two young Jedis go on an epic quest to uncover the secrets and put a stop to whatever nefarious plans might be being hatched. Eventually the discover that there are no nefarious plans and nobody is doing anything untoward at all. They track down Yoda and tell him there was nothing to worry about. Yoda replies, "yes, told you I did".

WOOT!

The #Republic arrests, next stage:

Monday (last) night a Chief Inspector from the Met & 2 other officers visited Graham Smith, who was arrested but not charged during the #Coronation, to 'apologise' for the six arrests of Republic/Anti-monarchy demonstrators.

Smith: 'I said, for the record, I won’t accept the apology. We have a lot of questions to answer & we will be taking action'!

The Met have also now acknowledged Republic had been working with them so the protests could go ahead.

hymns should just drop the bullshit and have titles like "let's oppress the unbelievers" and "hooray I can't wait to be dead"

'Campaign groups and human rights groups criticised the "incredibly alarming" detentions, describing them as "something you would expect to see in Moscow, not London".'
