January 22 Forests privatisation opposed

The principality of Kronk is in a state of civil unrest after the recent announcement that all public land will be placed under the ownership of the Duke of Strata. This change in policy, unveiled live on television on Saturday night appears to be the final straw for the united rebel movements. The 7 o'clock broadcast showed the King himself, blindfolded, throw javelins at swans, each of which had been tagged with an emblem relating to a specific proposal for a change in law. That the unlucky swan may have died but did save all Kronk females from having to wear false moustaches during daylight hours has been cited by the prime minister as a reason to be thankful. This troubled kingdom, regarded by its neighbours as rotten to the core for many years, may finally have a new government by morning.
