I'm Sorry I Haven't a Balloon - The Antidote to Election Games

I was in the Senedd and a small boy, about 10, was carrying a balloon.

A security guard went up to him. "No balloons allowed" he said. The guard took the balloon from the boy and chewed a hole in its neck. The boy was rather surprised.

I asked the guard why he'd done it. He said the Senedd has banned balloons: latex allergies. "If people with a latex allergy pick up the balloon there could be trouble." But of course.

The balloon was given out in a function at the assembly.

Surely a better way of getting rid of all the hot air…etc etc
