Parliament rushed - but not by suffragettes.

The door to parliament under seige.
A lady chained to railings... but had neglected to bring a chain.
Phwoarr!... I do beg your pardon.
The gathering of evidence against wrongdoers.
Incitement to commit further civil disobedience.
Constables observing miscreants in a local hostelry afterwards.
The casual observer might assume that the assemblage consisted of the usual raucous suffragette movement but in fact those present were protesting about changing climate and a request to cease burning new coal. Since my gardener has been tediously wearing me down with his continual complaints about the inclement weather this year, I shall instruct my housekeeper Mrs Bridges to burn only logs on the parlour fire henceforth.
Some further sources of enlightenment by means of Sir Tim Berners-Lee's splendid invention.

I was also carrying some cinematic apparatus and will in due course publish some moving pictures of the manifestation once my assistant has hand tinted all the frames.

An Excellent report my dear fellow.

I myself was sitting in the parlour viewing the said disturbance on the televisual machine. A fellow reported from inside the palace, hmmm, a Mr Lansdale of the BBC I propose, and in a voice that appeared to be quite out of breath (most unseemly I might add for a gentleman of the fourth estate) conveyed to me, the viewer, that the gentlemen and ladies within were much taken aback by the emanations taking place from without. And, further, I venture, were quite grateful to the assembled police authorities for preventing our great democracry from being overthrown.
A short time later, the reporting serveants on the televisual machine concluded that they had not a clue from where these hooligans had appeared.
I immediately summoned my own Mrs Bridges to ready my drawing quarters in order that I may dash off a letter to the Times, for this type of thing quite puts one off ones supper.
Major Hopeful.
