Schoolchildren the length (& possibly the breadth) of Britain were today devastated to hear that the new fad for smoking Meerkats is to be banned.
After two small boys passed away after toking on a badly rolled Meerkat, education secretary Ed Balls decreed that it was to banned & replaced with guided trips to the Chippy instead.
'Balls', (Pictured left) added that the now infamous website - smokethemeerkat.web will be closed down as soon as he gets back from lunch at his club on Pall Mall.
Gordon Brown was available for comment but no one was really interested in hearing it which left him more time to get on with the job of fiddling with the nation's infrastructure.
