Trust the Dailyfail to make a story out of it! ::) ::) ::) ::)

It is obviously a piece of art (like a banksey in a way) or simply an all year round "April fools" joke ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Bizarre. In a village near us a pair of stocks have appeared on the village green. Nobody has admitted to putting them there yet.. as far as I know.

Keep hoping to find the local MP there.

Yep.  It is a new policy of the Government to re-introduce them, but as yet they have made no official announcement about it! ::) ::) ::)

I believe the Dailyfail are using this story as a front page item over the next day or two, which some members on here will soon pick up on! ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Right, well, I'd better stock up on rotting fruit and veg, then, and submit my list of local officials to add to the queue. I can see this facility being booked-up for a couple of years at this rate. ;)
