Kent Online: Christmas is RUINED after thieves make off with village’s Christmas tree, local press turns up to take a photograph of no trees at all

Top tip: Prevent your local Christmas tree from being stolen by simply decorating it with anvils, thus making it far too heavy to steal. Your thieves, having RUINED their backs, will find their Christmas RUINED.

Then simply wait outside local doctors surgeries and attack anybody going in with a bad back with an iron bar, thus meting out summary justice on the ne’er-do-wells.
