The Rise and Fall of Captain Obvious

Two empty fields in one fortnight, three thousand miles apart, and the same fella stood in the middle of both with a megaphone. This week Stanley gives him a name. From the shed: the President's birthday party that hardly anybody went to, the pollsters up a stepladder at Nigel Farage's own do, and the march through our town that the town answered by going shopping. Plus the writing on the wall, why an echo can only ever tell you what you just said, and Stanley's mother on lugs, gobs, and the order you're meant to use them in. Fair warning: there's a sober minute in the middle. Our town carries history that deserves better than jokes, and the jokes get put down for it. Kettle's on. Sit yerself down.
