Scandalous behaviour

Sorry to see one of my favourite emporiums, Fortnum & Mason, "stormed by 300 yobs" on Saturday.

I'm not a frequent customer but I do pop in now and again. Perhaps they were protesting at the price of glacé apricots, utterly delicious but now £40 a box.

Now that is something to protest about!

As you mention Fortnum and Mason people maybe interested in this.

Rally Against Debt

Time 14 May · 11:00 - 14:00
Location London

A well mannered, polite rally for civilised people who don't wish to see their hard earned money being spent on pointless government initiatives and instead would like government spending to actually fall and our national debt to be cut.

Any visits to Fortum and Mason's by protestors will only be to marvel at their selection of quality goods and perhaps make the occasional purchase.

Bonfires will be strictly forbidden: it's out of season anyway

Trips to see Vodafone and other high street chains will result in congratulations to the company for providing jobs and growth in the UK.

Careful Dave, the last well mannered, polite rally for civilised people carrying out a peaceful visit to Fortnum & Mason's were told by Police they were free to leave and then ended up getting arrested en masse.

You may think it's a jolly jape and a chance to smugly thumb your nose at the poor people affected by the cuts but any visit to shops etc. could be playing with fire - even if bonfires are out of season. Best stay out in the open where you can be counted by Simon's friends' aerial surveillance team.

Good luck!
