No doubt a day of mourning will be announced, councelling arranged for those affected by the tradgedy, and the whales family will be seeking compo from those involved.

Billy Liar will launch a full scale enquiry as to why the whale swam up the thames and why the emergency services took so long to resque it. Naturally the blame will lie with some expendable person, who will be harranged by the media until they do somthing drastic.

New measures will be introduced to prevent it happening again, with a thames wales coordinater appointed at £1000,000 pa.

Billy was reported to have said, "i really feel for the whale, and measures must be put into place, to prevent this tradgedy from happening again. Unfortuantly these measures cost money, but we must invest heavily to ensure that we become a world class whales rescuer"

figures were unavailable, but its expected that a programme of investment lasting 7 years will see significant leaps in whale rescue, this will add approximatly 1pence onto the level of income tax

A team of top laywers is meeting with the remaining members of the whales pod, amid rumours of a compensation claim against the owners of the river thames.

A source told us, Mrs Whale was deeply distressed, and wanted to know why this tradgedy happened. There should have been signs in place to say it was a river, and not the north atlantic, there should have been a tunnell so he could get to the other side.

the river thames refused to comment, saying it was in the hands of his lawyers.


LOL

wanna bet some of this happens??

nope i forgot nothing, its just an accurate reflection of how our incumbent gov treats any "disaster or media event these days"

if it was the others in power theyd get the same treatment.

Stuff dies every day in the sea, bit sad that it croaked on its one trip to London but, dont go mad with the national outpouring of grief as Elton John will pen another song.

To the tune of candle in the wind/Englands Rose,

Like I said, media circus. Plenty of whales and other animals, endangered and non endangered, die everyday naturally or by human intervention, and unless you work or donate to the WWF or similar, this will be forgotten in a few weeks time. Unless of course the government decides to commission a statue and puts it on the empty plinth in Trafalgar and hold a 2 minute silence of rememberence

exactly! There are far worse things going on in this country/world, but the press (and the resulting "out cry") are happier to splash this all over the front pages!
