    Default STOP PRESS! Office Chair set ablaze!

    It's true.

    “The chair knew the risks. Gang warfare in Kendal is rife, and when you choose a side you gotta be down with risks. This was a declaration by the Standard Lamp Posse of Kendal. No one messes with lamps,” said a Lancaster respondent.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Here's the original report, plus comments.

    Thank you so much for running this story. My family and I cried when we read of the cruel fate of this chair; this has a very special meaning for me. As a child I was abandoned by my biological parents and brought up by a chair very similar to this one. To me it was mother and father combined. Never was there a kindlier and more loving parent than my chair; I remember one freezing winter it pawned its castors to buy me a coat for school.

    This fate of this chair is nothing less than murder. Did those animals who took its life realise how its family must be grieving right now?

    My many thanks to the people of your area who have provided this poor thing with a decent burial.

    At least the delinquent didn't shoot it...
    "There is a true glory and a true honor; the glory in duty done and the honor in the integrity of principle."

    "The truth is this; the march of Providence so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often only see the ebb of the advancing wave. It is history which teaches us to hope."
