In a shock revelation Mike Read has publicly abandoned the London Mayoral race.

A nation weeps. And then leaves sarcastic comments.

What with that, "Dog fouls Tour cyclist", and "Chris Langham looks at kiddie porn to feel superior", I'm not entirely sure that Chris Morris wasn't writing all of today's news...

To be fair to Mr. Langham, isn't it that it was alleged that he looks at kiddie porn to feel superior but he admitted looking at it to research a show involving a paedophile.

This is alleggedly something that he allegedly said to his alleged paramour, allegedly on the phone, allegedly a few years ago.
