IT SEEMS our politicians are not as strong as they used to be.

For 250 years, councillors in Abingdon have hurled buns from the roof of County Hall without prompting a riot.

But last year, weak-wristed councillors just could not master the necessary oomph to lob the pastries far enough into the seething crowd below.

Now cricketers have been called in to help find some strong-armed help.

The public have forced a revolution... and all because the politicians let them eat cake.
