Just in time for a little bit of bah humbug

Breaking news tonight in London consisted of arresting carol singers. It seems that not only are London residents wanting to get rid of trick-or-treaters, but carol singers too! Carol singing is very popular here and it’s a way to raise funds for charities. Of course there are always a few who ruin it for the masses and have used carol singing for their own betterment or to torment others. So, lucky us, they have decided to arrest those who don’t have a proper license to carol sing. That’s right, if you and a few of your friends want to walk around to sing carols just for fun, they will arrest you. Count yourself warned. Of course this isn’t going to stop the yobs that still do it for all the wrong reasons. Like just about every thing else in this city the laws are firmly in place to ruin fun for law abiding people and to give yobs one more thing to do.

Try as I might, I can’t seem to find where you can get a caroling license, but I am sure that 10 Downing Street is involved at some level.
