TV Screens go blank across the UK as Boris Johnson then appears on screen and addresses the nation in his sternest Churchillian mode.
BJ
As you will well be aware this country , London in particular has in the last fortnight been subjected to bombardment of its historic landmarks and deaths have also occurred.
As such I have come on television tonight to assure you that I will put a stop to this act of total barbarism. And while it remains a police matter, I will not hesitate to use the British Army on foreign soil should the need arise.
Screens go black then back to the shows it interrupted.

The CID man indicates to the Gendarme to start the raid the Gendarme shrugs and then gives the order.
The police burst into the barn and see a pile of pillows and crash helmets in one corner and a line of people at the bottom of a staircase holding crash helmets and pillows.
They rush past them and up the stairs where they see a massive catapult being drawn back by a petrol generated threshing wheel.
There is Chinese man in a crash helmet with a pillow under the back and front of his jumper standing inside the catapult.
There is a sign on the wall saying:

A man is holding a Tourist map of London while watching a needle on the side of the catapult.

The cop shoots the man with the map,
