Pity we can't put this one down to Gerry.

Widespread unrest across the capital was/is mainly a result of unseasonable weather (11C has been recorded) and a dearth of A/C units. The apparent inability of police to use the tactics perfected by Assad's riot quellers has added to policing difficulties. "If we had a few tanks and the like," said a dishearten PC with a wooden round stick and dustbin lid for protection, "the really 'ard lootin' crew would have 'ad their botty's bazooka'd."
The UK Home Secretary Theresa not-up-to-the-job May said officials would "look at whatever is necessary to relieve me of my post."  Frankie Foreign Office waded in, "In order to ensure a trouble-free Olympics, Son of Assad should be free from his domestic duties in Syria and will be in charge of co-ordinating the necessary in order to keep street scum tweeters well contained."
May snatched the mic back and droned on, "My autocue says that we take issue with certain media, suggesting that had the billions of borrowed money spent for jonny foreigner to swim, track-trot and throw objects around a field;  had even a fraction of it been spent in the direction of the disenfranchised youth of London, none of this rough and tumble, fire starting stuff would have been forthcoming." breathing in not a moment too soon, she wailed on, "I have to say, that's Ken's usual leftie bollocks. Next summer's sports extravagant Olympics will be a triumph; and I'm certain that Blitz weary Londoners of all creeds and hues will forgive the ego-tripping leadership on both sides of the House, even when their community charges rocket for the next two decades."  (Photo:AFP)
