This is Gopher no 2 of the GLF speaking.
Whilst I personally abhor violence, I really have to concur with my colleagues in GLF that Direct Action is the only way forward, and is fully justified in this instance
Accordingly, we have kidnapped your leader, Odious AKA Odeon and are holding him to ransom in a secret location. I would like to reassure you that Odious is presently as well as can be be expected, and he is, at this moment in time, learning to sing like a canary, thanks to the expert tuition of Gophers no 3 and 4.
Odious will not be harmed so long as you concur with our demands. These are:
#1 liberate Gopher Gary within 24 hours
#2 deliver 1 ton of groundnuts to a secret address (to be arranged)
The groundnuts will be used to fund future GLF campaigns.
Failing your agreement, we will return Odious piece by piece, beginning with the piece that nobody really wants to see. (You really don’t. We gophers have very strong stomachs and even we find it difficult to look at)
We will shortly allow Odious onto this forum to plea for his life.
Thank you for giving this matter your attention.
