Packet of Hob Nobs elected as new police commissioner for Avon and Somerset

A packet of biscuits will now have the power to allocate funding and police resources to areas most affected by crime in the Avon and Somerset region after a resounding win in the Police and crime commissioner elections. The biscuits, who staged a beautifully advertised 3-day campaign and wrapped themselves in metallic blue livery including a badge which looked slightly like an official crest intended to exude ‘confidence and authority’, will also have the last say on who will be the local chief of police for the next four years.

Polling stations closed at ten o’clock last night and whilst the teams of vote-counters expected to be up all night, all were sent home early after it became clear that the hob nobs had won decisively with a majority of twenty seven.

A late entry to the election, the packet of biscuits narrowly made the ballot papers after its agent filed a deposit of 14 custard creams and supplied a picture of them looking wrapped, united, tanned, relaxed and very able to command the respect of the public.

I was watching about this on the news this morning and according to public opinion, the majority of them didn't even know there was an election of this sort and the general consensus seems to be that it's a shambles due to the very low amount of votes that were cast overall.

Its change change for change sake imo.

I wonder if they were plain or choclatey ones? That could be important if we have a summer next year!

Fantastic news! Perhaps it would have been better if a batch of shortbread had got the vote but heh, dem hobbies are good biccies. I may have to rethink this whole leaving Exmoor thing. I am sooooooo in with biccie kind that if I stay here I'll be able to do what the heck I like with no risk of the plod feeling me collar

Now as we all know, the best biscuit is a fruit shortcake

Outstanding! Pretty soon we'll have garibaldi running the country, and jammy dodgers taking the throne.
