Trimble calls for peace culture
Northern Ireland First Minister David Trimble has called for a new "peace culture" following this morning's raids on Sinn Fein offices. After sniggering loudly for over half an hour, Mr Trimble finally managed to condemn Sinn Fein, adding that he would probably resign again unless "some clever scientists somewhere managed to grow an artificial peace culture – I mean let's face it, we're hardly going to do it ourselves."

Tories to re-brand as political opposition
Iain Duncan Smith has revealed the most radical policy of his leadership yet on the final day of the Conservative Party Conference. In the most drastic change to the Tory manifesto for several years, Mr Duncan Smith told the conference that the party would "re-brand as political opposition". "It's a logical progression," he explained this afternoon. "We've been Her Majesty's Official Opposition since 1997, but I think now it's about time we actually start opposing the government. I've read about it in books - it's not easy, but it can be done."

Website resists gay sexual pun urge
Popular news satire website "DeadBrain" today resisted the temptation to make "dodgy puns and references to homosexuality" after Michael Portillo threw his weight behind Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith on BBC1 this morning. "We were very tempted to do it," confessed the website's Editor-in-Chief, Gregory T Mullet. "But we resisted the urge. To be honest with you, we just couldn't be arsed."

Pope rejects sex crime plans
American bishops have today condemned the Pope after he rejected plans for sex crimes involving children. In recent months church leaders across the US have allegedly abused children, but the Pope is refusing to get involved in the matter. A spokesman for the Vatican told DeadBrain, "The Pope realises that some American bishops have been doing 'naughty' things with children, but he is far too old for that sort of thing now. The excitement would probably kill him."



Excuse me, would you mind?
