Gypsies Converge on Stonehenge; Claim Sovereignty

A few remaining natural born Brits were turned away from picketing Stonehenge today after a Crown Magistrate upheld the 'squatters rights' petition put forward by a band of travelers in trailers who moved onto the historic site late friday night, and by sunday had called it 'home.'

Mr. Justice Percival Perrywinkle, speaking for the Crown, as well as Prime Minister Gordon "Going Out of Business Sale" Brown, said that under the 1999 Human Rights act any attempt to evict the 12 Romanian Gypsy families would be considered a 'racist act.'

This now brings the number of illegal traveller sites to 3181, up from 300 prior to the 1999 Act.

Stonehenge had long been protected as a 'World Heritage Site' under the Crown, which had not anticipated challenges from swarming minorities that flooded into the country under the Tony Blair Labour Revenge Act to punish 'right wing conservatives' and make England 'more culturally correct."

According to a spokesman for the families, former MP Snerdley Snodgrass, IV, now doing a 'land office' business in securing land grants for travelers, the gypsies had a perfect right to settle on the historic site, which has been traced back to at least 2500 B.C.

Snodgrass says that independent archeologists had found remnants of gypsy tents, parts of an ancient accordion, tarot cards, and a ouija board, all carbon dated to at least 2000 B.C. thereby legitimizing traveler claims of being responsible for establishing the site.

A nearby village resident said the transformation was 'unbelievable.'

According to Sean Thistlewaite, a part time Stonehenge tourist guide, a phalanx of 20 ton lorries hit the site around 10 PM Friday night, bringing in loads of crushed rubble for fill material. By Sunday morning another long line of asphalt paving trucks had laid their material for building pads, and by 4 PM the former historic/religious site was turned into a carnival like setting.

"They had generators and everything mate! The Ferris wheels were up and running, there was a crowd at the 3 card monte booths, and at least 3 of the local lads had already been defeated in the wrestling match by the trained bear!"

By early monday evening a a bright red canvas tent had been strung over the historic stone monuments, and the now covered site was being used as a food preparation area and a mid-wife birthing station for the 3 teen age girls in the midst of labor. Animal sacrifices were put off till at least Thursday.

Meanwhile, back in Portsmouth, the BBC is reporting that the HMS victory has been forcibly occupied by 125 Somalian Pirates who swarmed ashore from a fleet of 12 dories which reportedly had been at sea for over 6 months.

According to news sources, the Minister for Tourist Affairs has already arranged for the delivery of 10 tons of Saffron Rice, 25 Goats, vouchers for winter clothing from Marks & Spenser, 500 gallons of grog, and free tickets for the Man U game this weekend, as well as for the Pats/Bucs American Football Game.

Guided tours of the historic ship have been suspended indefinitely.

BNP party leader Nick Griffin said his anti-immigration political group has swelled to 425,000 members, all of whom wish to remain anonymous.
