    A Northumbria Police spokesman said Bessie was destroyed after becoming "increasingly distressed" and "causing dangerous and severe obstructions" on a major road.
    so pretty much like anytime the Police park up.

      Will the wake be held at the golden arches? One Bessie Burger to go?

      I think some of the protesters were thinking of suing the police for wrongful shooting. But police ate the evidence...

                    The official police report is out. The gun went off while she was cleaning it.
