The Devon Liberation Army today bombed a restaurant in Exeter, and a communique from the DLA headquarters in Torbay said this : 'While London continues to oppress the Devonian people, and occupy our great and ancient county, we will continue with our armed struggle!'
Widespread panic and alarm broke at at 12:34 p.m., in the Auntie Jemimah Scone Emporium in the centre of Exeter, after the attack.
A witness, Mrs. Elsie Higginbottom, said: 'It was dreadful. One minute we were all drinking tea and talking about the weather, and the next thing we all had to go next door to rake through the cut-price hats in Barnardo's.'
And her friend, Irene Smethurst, added: 'I was just gossiping about my neighbours with Elsie, and then without warning we all finished our cakes and came out here.'
This is just the latest DLA outrage, as earlier this year they forced a jumble sale to be cancelled with a bomb scare, and in last year's council elections the Zoider party, who are DLA's political wing, received 2 votes. But official DLA spokesman John Trevelyan said: 'We will continue our campaign until London stops clogging up our roads with caravans, and stops beating us at football.'
