Read this or the bear dies

So the Met police have concluded the man killed at Stockwell tube station last week had no connection to terrorist activities. His crime appears to have been to have been wearing the wrong sort of coat. This really is the end of the day for the bomber jacket.

We have clearly handed the power of life and death to Trinny and Susannah. These two can now issue fatwas against anyone not following the fashion rules...

South Americans wearing unseasonable coats are clearly in danger. I fully expect Sir Ian Blair to be apologising for the tragic killing of Paddington Bear any day now!


Where do you think you're going in that duffel coat sonny...? Posted by Picasa

Inspired - in a slightly bizarre turn of events half the pubs and quite a few corner shops in West London are now sporting Brazilian flags in their windows and in a less surprising development the Brazilian magazine has our very pale skinned casualty of the War on Sense on its cover.

A friend of mine observed that the police probably wanted to take someone out to show that they meant it, while another rather uncharitably remarked on what a relief it was that the guy was a Brazilian - thing is he doesn't live round here so while I concur its probably good the guy wasn't a UK Asian in some respects it actually doesn't matter in a community that thinks of itself in a hundred shades of brown.
