Former Telegraph boss denies damning allegations from board 
Black says he's whiter than white;
Everyone else scoffs, "Yeah, right!"
And now he's not boss,
Hacks write without gloss
The man's just a thieving fat shite.

Ambassadors to promote use of Anti-social Behaviour Orders 
If every town takes out an Asbo,

With John Prescott in the mayor's job, though.

Run half their race and then fold.

More storms forecast as farmers face ruin 
This Be The Worst Weather
They fuck you up, your rain and flood,
They may not mean to, but they do,
They fill your streets with sewer-mud,
And cover crops with thick mildew.

Rain pours down misery on rain,
So make sure your roof doesn't leak;
Get in before the hurricane
They're forecasting for late this week.

So hot on her feet
(Like lots with a freckly face.)

Around the curator's stunned face!

All his funds defending
Himself... 'stead of what really matters.

Record 96% of students pass A-levels 
A-levels, some oldies say,
Aren't as tough as in our day;
Kids' triumph seems hollow
'Cos it's hard to swallow
They're smarter in every way.

Eight charged following raids on terror suspects 
Police have put cuffs on the wrists

Still plot away in our midst.

Cornwall village, home to witchcraft museum, beset by 'Biblical' flooding

'Cos a bloody great flood
Turned the whole place to mud...
I guess their spells suffered some glitches.

Tabloid claims Blunkett had affair with married US mum 
A horny Home Sec, David Blunkett,
Had an affair - who'd've thunk it?
He said, "Ma'am, I'm blind,
So if you don't mind,
Just grab my old fella and dunk it."

Met officers suspended after being caught 'in action' on porno set 
A couple of cops on the job
(Dispersing a porn movie mob)
Gave a whole other hue
To the phrase 'boys in blue'...
On screen, helmets covered in gob.

Government plans to give police power of arrest for minor offences 
Home Office wonks now suggest
Police get more powers to arrest

Cause them, it seems, no unrest.

And police'll no more be PC,"

And claim he'd said "no more PCs".

Will meet now he's dead
Is that of his funeral pyre.

Bush says he's always "thinking of new ways to harm our country and our people"

To harm the US..."
Slip-up? Sounds more like the truth!

Only revealed sly Sven's dalliance
In order to hide
His bit on the side,
But now he's the one saying adios.
