Union Dues

One of those bits of our great united kingdom that isn't quite as equal as London is hooting and skirling with nationalist rage at some official rah-rah which implies that the Beano comics characters Dennis the Menace and Gnasher were created in London. In fact Dennis was created by an Edinburgh artist and published in Dundee, leading to accusations of the most blatant act of cultural plundering since India's wealth was last ceremonially plonked onto a royal British cranium. A spokesbeing defended the advertisement by explaining that it referred only to the animated series featuring the characters, which is made in London and thereby certifies the Beano as a great British success and enables it to bask in the capital's reflected glory. Besides, no true expression of modern British patriotism would be so crass and vulgar as to refer to something people might read.
