That the A5 has been closed in its entirety from North Wales to Bedforshire and will be dug up.
A department spokesman, Ivor Jayseabee, said these essential demolition works had to be carried out as this old Roman road, formerley known as Watling Street, was built by slaves and the realisation of this fact has realy, realy, realy, upset some overley sensitive people who cant put history into context.
Spokesman for the 'furloughed-halfwits-against-reality-and-in-favour-of-bandwagons' action group, Plantpot Leftie Tenderfoot said, 'im realy realy, realy upset, . . . . and so is my friend Swampy Sideboard Huget.wat. How could this symbol of oppression be allowed in this day and age?
Starting next week, works to remove the Fosse Way from Liecester to Somerset will also commence.
