Battle Lines

This week sees the AGM for the owners of the Estate.

It is clear that battle lines are being drawn. Cheerleaders(*) for one faction turned up at the door checking the level of support that could be expected. The Gorse Fox answered truthfully that he felt fairly neutral on the subject. He expects, however, that this is going to be a fractious debate on Thursday - should we declare independence, build a wall and become a protectorate with biometric access controls(**) through electronic gates, or just carry on as we are with security guards?

(*) no pom-poms or batons were involved in this exchange.
(**) ok, the walls, the protectorate and the biometrics were an exaggeration

Obviously the pom-poms were not the eight barrel 2 pdr variety nicknamed by the RN as a Chicago Piano. I take it that minefileds, (Sorry Blair outlawed mines), armed patorls (Oh yes, we aren't allowed any thanks to Mr Blair), razor wire, (Oops that might hurt some intruder - can't have that either) and machine gun nests are definitely out.

Sounds like you're all defenceless down there in Kingston Gorse!
