Huish Episcopi "swamped"
The United Nations says it's "concerned" at how many Langporters broke through the Hanging Chapel checkpoint yesterday. At least 500 people, seeking a better life (and lower council tax bills) in Huish gathered on the cricket field at The Rose and Crown.
Vehicles of all shapes and sizes turned up, the pub was so busy the staff even moved the till over to the shelf where the cheese rolls are usually sold.
"I've never seen anything like it" said one local.
This family, from the Pitney Cottaging Company, said they'd been trying to get to Huish "for years" but then turned back when they realised somebody sold the village hall on E-bay 9 years ago.
Parish Council Leader Dame Shirley Nicholas was so concerned by the situation, she sent in the Army at around 4 o'clock.
"These Langporters are everywhere" she said, "I am seriously considering introducing an Australian-style points system to try to control numbers."
It's also believed several Moor Park Road residents are being illegally sheltered by Pikeys in Wagg Drove but nothing's been confirmed.
Anybody with further photographic evidence of what went on in Huish yesterday is asked to send it in via Carry On Langport's Facebook page.
