An Announcement

There now follows a message from the Mister Squeaky the Giant Rubber Goth Bat for Mayor Party:

Dear Friends and Loyal Subjects!
It is with some considerable regret that I am standing down from the race to become the next Mayor of London, however after much soul searching I have come to the conclusion that I'm just too damn honest and good for the job - okay I may do some bad things occasionally (The Master says that if I had a hat like 2nd Lieutenant HRH it would say "I do bad things") but everyone has their faults and I can't help it if the local vicar got upset when I bit his nose - the silly old fool shouldn't have mistaken me for a gargoyle - and as an endangered species I'm trying to do my bit to maintain endangered species status....but I digress. At the end of the day my heart isn't in it anymore and the politicians are making big enough fools of themselves without me flapping around and pointing out their deficiencies to one and all.
