WAKE UP!! IT'S YER EVER EFFERVESCENT...
The free weekly direct action newsheet published in Brighton since 1994 - Copyleft - Information for Action

...And Finally...

How could not mention dumbo aristocrat Robert Oliphant (dumbo - geddit?!) Maxtone-Graham.

The upper class twit of the year was up in front of Perth Sherriff court on Feb 21st having been given a large block of dope by a friend. He then phoned the police to er, complain about the poor quality of the stuff. Talk about toking the piss.

Despite the cops best efforts to ignore him, he persisted until they were forced to nick him in what even his own solicitor called 'an own goal'. Naturally it wasn't an 'own gaol' as anyone who scores higher that 'O Cripes' in a posh test is handled completely differently under UK law. He was fined £360.

There are more hilarious details at the only national newspaper we subscribe to - the Daily Mail. (We love it for the sensible political rhetoric, measured house price analyses and for perving over underage celebrity children!)
