It means "the Romans are coming"
like the whistle tooting in Adalen  31, if you know that film and in come
the Romans led by Boris Johnson, nightmare of London, followed by three
renovated German water cannon -- I don't know if you get such details of our
news. In an attempt to build bridges with the public, the police want to
spray us with high pressure water.
Asked how that helps stop looting, the police replied "Move along now"
Boris has volunteered to be attacked by a water cannon, to show it is safe.
As the last riots were caused when the police shot an unarmed man, it would
be more apposite to shoot him; under controlled conditions, of course That's
the Launceston, I meant. Pronounced Lanson. from Lan Stefan, sacred place of
St Stephen
