Dearest Gentle Reader, Storm Dave has made a thorough nuisance of himself across the Kingdom on this Easter Sunday, yet the weather is the least of our concerns - for a certain American provocateur threatens to descend upon the Capital this summer, and the corridors of power are distinctly unamused. Meanwhile, the Royal Family has braved the elements for chapel, a new Archbishop has delivered her first sermon, and the comedy industry has begged the government for money, which is, one must admit, the most British thing imaginable.

Dearest Gentle Reader, this Saturday brings abandoned firearms upon the streets of the Capital, a storm bearing the most unassuming of names, and a society column bristling with barely suppressed alarm. Whether it is the audacity of certain young men, the absent-mindedness of certain constables, or the relentless arithmetic of the pension office that exercises you most, This Author has opinions on all of it - and shall not be restrained.
