He looked into the camera, dark eyes calm, hair gelled into a black sheen, his manner urbane and assured. His dark grey suit was moulded to his shoulders, his shirt gleamed white, a match for his perfect teeth, a foil for the brown skin. In a voice as mellifluous as his manner, he said, "Breaking news from the trial of Simpson v Ballard." He turned his head slightly, expert in his presentation, "This from our reporter, Gloria Carnegie who is at the Old Bailey this morning."

The screen filled to show a busy London Street and a wind-blown woman standing on the steps of the ancient building.

She pushed her hair from her face and said, "Judge Gideon Price said in his summing up that Mr and Mrs Simpson had shown contemptible prejudice when dealing with Mr and Mr Ballard. He explained that Mr and Mr Ballard had booked a room in the 'Seascape B&B' like any other paying customers and had the right to be treated fairly. Further, that when the Simpsons cancelled their reservation they were breaking a legally binding contract. "

She read from the paper in her hand, "He said that Mr Simpson appeared to be the main culprit, encouraging his wife in her anti 'same-sex marriage' histrionics. The defence claim that homosexuality was against their religious beliefs has been denied as spurious."

She looked up at the camera, saying with grave authority, "It is intended that this case will act as a demonstration to others that this egregious offence will not be tolerated."

She left a slight pause, then came in with the punch line, "Judge Price sentenced Mr Simpson to 10 years and Mrs Simpson to 8 years, to be served in a maximum security prison. Now, back to you, Darbinder, in the studio."

Hope you have a nice weekend
