Caudillo Cancelled

It's usually sensible to abstain from too much of a good thing, and the organisers of the farmers' protest against the Government's inheritance tax reforms have prudently refused an extra helping of natural fertiliser. Although they did not balk at inviting the likes of Kemi Badenoch, Jeremy Clarkson and Sir Edward Look At Me I'm A Carer Davey to regale the gathering with their farmyard impressions, the strutting Caudillo of the Farage Falange was weeded out of the dung-pile in case his presence should divert attention from the protestors' point. Having long brayed, bleated and cockadoodled in the interests of the strutting Caudillo, the owner of the commercial concern known as Reform doubtless took the snub with his usual squillionaire-on-the-street fortitude. For its own part, the Falange extruded a flunkey to claim that the organisers of the protest had been bullied by the Conservative Party and to whine that the British electoral system isn't good enough. It is to be hoped that those rural communities to whose present blessings the Falange has contributed so much will revise their gratitude levels accordingly.
