Lighting quick new manipulation

Something that doesn't happen everyday, a big local earthquake. 1am. So this morning I was surprised to see the BBC covering it so much. Didn't cover those massive floods in Hull, too London centric for that. No-one care what goes on in Hull, don't see why Market Rasen should be so different. It woke me up, so before I went back to sleep I checked the BBC who weren't mentioning it at the time.

Well, the BBC had evidently been on the blower to the local studioes and sent some camera men to find people who were a) sober and b) roming the streets before 6 in the morning, not a common breed. They got some footage of a man with a broom sweeping his chimbley out of the street after it fell off his roof. Some twilit people recounting nothing in particular. And a man who spoke like a Home Counties man jibbering on about how he thought it was terrorists shaking his house.

Sets off the MI5 domestic manipulation unit alarm, does that.

Paranoid, maybe.
