CYNICS will bray over the news that every British donkey must now have a passport, complete with sketches of it from several different angles.

Then there's terrorism. Haven't people heard of Ass Qaida, or the provisional Eeyore A?
And as for the fight against narcotics, detectives can finally crack down on a real menace - drugs mules.
