We've sent the discs to Kosovo

BONG! Darling's reassured us about data loss, saying none of the 25 trillion entries has fallen into the wrong hands. He didn't make clear how he could know that. Did he nick it himself?

BONG! Britain is sending "80 policemen and judicial officials" to Kosovo. Is that the 21st century version of "military trainers"? And are they sending any traffic wardens?

BONG! Home Office proposes to make people with foreign relatives pay cash bonds if they visit them in Britain. Will they send in Lee Majors to catch anyone who skips their bond?

BONG! Dick Sorabji joins us in questioning what exactly the concordat between central and local government means? And comes to the conclusion: whatever we want it to mean. How very post-modern.

BONG! Scotland is "violent" and they want to do something about it. Includes this alarming statistic: males aged 10-29 are five times more likely to suffer a violent death than in England and Wales. Aged 10?

BONG! Overweight eccentric BoJo unveils his health plan for London, pointing out that London has more than its fair share of obesity and mental health problems. Our apologies for pointing out this unfortunate irony.

BONG! Labour MP accuses Hammersmith and Fulham of channelling Shirley Porter by indulging in "social engineering" to drive out people wot is poorer than us. Do they still have poor people in Fulham? How quaint.
