Emperor of Chicken Rock overthrown
David Blunkett leads of coup d'etat
by our foreign correspondent Andrew M Simpson
Our Isle of Man press office is receiving reports that David Blunkett and Sadie have led a bloodless coup to seize control of Chicken Rock — Lat 54°02"3'N, Long 04°50"2'W.
Reports began to leak through at around 6.30am today that under cover of The Darkness, Mr Blunkett led an attack on the Lighthouse HQ of Wysiwog the Sane, infamous seal shagger and self proclaimed emperor of Chicken Rock. Whilst The Darkness's Justin Hawkins diverted the seal guards’ attention with a rendition of Thing called love, Mr Blunkett and Sadie scaled the 38m tower to the throne room. Emperor Wysiwog, who was on the throne at the time, was overpowered by Sadie and forced to appoint Blunkett Viceroy. Viceroy Blunkett then declared the Wysiwog was actually insane and that for the good of Chicken Rock he was taking control.
At approx 7am Viceroy Blunkett along with Justin Hawkins, who we believe has been made Commander-in-Chief, addressed the throng of seals. The speech is rumoured to have contained various threats against Tony Blair, Prime Minister of the next Island, also the issue of ID cards was raised and visas for the Darkness thus giving them citizen status.
Latest news is that as of 9am this morning a total media blackout has been put in place and any seal not carrying an ID card has been clubbed. However, one seal who escaped did manage to make it ashore on the Isle of Man and is currently being interrogated by MI5. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the SAS are on stand by at Ronaldsway, the Isle of Man International Airport and that an attempt to restore Wysiwog to power may be made within the next few hours.
