The Sun (the vanguard of high-integrity journalism in the United Kingdom) reported this morning that residents of a council estate in West York are being terrorised by monstrously-sized rodents.

One man, known only as “Brandon” was the hero of the moment, after he shot one of the beasts twice in the head, thereby smiting it and protecting the body and soul of all fine citizens in the immediate surrounds.

But politicians and other members of public prominence are decrying the shooting.

Apparently, in the midst of a misunderstanding, a great tragedy has unfolded.

Our man on the inside at , Lord Fibs, has informed us that Tony Blair was on a door-to-door promotional book tour of the West York region at the time of the shooting, and that his aides have been out of contact with him for the past 48 hours.

More disturbingly, grainy pictures of a man parading the corpse bearing a striking resemblance to Tony Blair are circulating the internet.

Of course, it’s entirely possible that these photos could be shopped, but authorities could provide neither negative nor positive conformation.
