the great equaliser. We all entered this world bloodied and screaming, we all leave this world on equal terms too, everything in between is just a bit of a laugh.
Try not to be scared though, death is easy, it's just like having a kip at the end of a long and bizarre day. The more tired you are, the more you appreciate it.
How has the situation improved since your uprising?
It’s clear ain’t it? Look at me, I live like a king now, I drink and smoke, have my choice of the girls, wear the finest suits and have servants and everything. As long as my Barons are kept in booze and women they’re all happy as a pig in mud. Cliveden cigarettes, my little pet project has been going from strength to strength, and I have quite a lucrative deal with the John Bull Co-operative Society now.
How has the situation improved for your workers?
Oh, the Barons keep them under control. Some of them get a bit too big for their boots sometimes and we have to deal with them, to keep the peace you know? But I think they’re happy with our glorious revolution, and if they’re not, then they should be.
Do you think it would be unfair to say that nothing has changed for the people who you rebelled for?
Well, I don’t know. Remember Old Sally, that’s what you get for keeping your head down and your nose clean in this life I’m afraid. Anyway, I’m much more attractive than the old Viscount, so at least there is that. Would you care for a cigarette darling?
What do you think young Alfie, the day-dreaming bookworm of the merchant navy would think of Viscount Sark?
I think, I think young Alfie, and his world, died with his mates the day that Old Sally was sunk.
Alfie Stark was in tears by the end of this interview, but whether they were real or those of the reptile he really is just under the skin, is anyone’s guess. Cliveden is certainly a lovely setting and who wouldn’t want to be lord of all they survey? But as for an improvement in the lot of the workers – as always, regular reader, it is up to you to decide. And perhaps add Alfie Stark and his myrmidons to the list of people to check should any harm come to me or mine.

Mr. Arnold, a known criminal, gave a detailed account of what had lead him to contact PC Pugh . He did not take the situation seriously and appeared to find it amusing. He rambled about delusional stories of police abuse and corruption and claimed that his earlier arrest by PC Pugh was an unlawful arrest , abuse of process and act an of misconduct in public office .
Mr. Arnold is clearly very clever and well aware of the offences he has committed but disturbingly expresses no remorse for them.
He has been provided bail on the condition that he does not contact any officer of Warwickshire and Coventry Constabulary , particularly his victim, PC Pugh .
When questioned if Mr. Arnold posed a risk to children, he became extremely agitated and defensive , most likely an admission of guilt.

I was fortunate to be able to interview ex-police officer Dixon, as most people who have held official positions are excluded from all contact with any press or media of any description. However, through some administrative glitch, all too common these days but often working in the favour of the wrong (or in this case, right) person, I was granted permission and the interview below is the result. Excuse in advance, regular reader, the rather pedantic content; Mr Dixon seems unable to just ‘go’ somewhere, without proceeding in a northerly (or whichever is
