The Gnome
Rangers pass emergency measures
Due to the unprecedented
financial crisis gripping Blackwood and possibly other areas,
The Gnome Rangers held an emergency session in their secret
headquarters last week. Numerous strategies for combating
the slump in business confidence were debated. A raft of
measures were proposed, designed to increase business confidence
and general joviality.
Some have expressed
concern at the radical outlay of porcelain.
Pharkadee Chicken, a
member of the Inanimate Objects Committee described the measures
as completely irresponsible. "I tell you what, I care a
lot about my inanimate brethren and I will not be bullied into
an immediate deployment of ceramic edifices just because it suits
The Gnome Rangers' agenda."
It is believed that
Fricassee Frog (Member for Blackwood Pets) cast his vote in
favour of the legislation in a late session of the Committee on
Friday. "There are no guarantees, but what I can guarantee
is things would be a lot worse if the The Gnome Rangers had not
acted in this decisive way."
An immediate rollout of
100 Gnomes and Frogs took place over the weekend in what is
believed to be the first in a series of measures designed to
combat the crisis.
