‘Tell those Wombles in government…’

After a week of stern news, it was nice to see some more uplifting stories this weekend.

First, there’s the latest Flashmob event to hit Liverpool street. In line with the latest stage of the rickrolling phenomena, 500 people descended on the station and began to sing Rick Astley’s ‘Never gonna give you up’. Brilliant.

Then there was a party political broadcast on behalf of the Wimbledon common party, led by Uncle Bulgaria. You know, he can remember the times when British childrens’ tv wasn’t so far behind?

Well, here’s a great Wombles of Central Park done on behalf of PACT, complete with Uncle Bulgaria (aka Bernard Cribbins) asking us to ask ‘wombles in government’ to get their act together!
