'Smiling' Swedes cause sensational resignation of Prime Minister.

Camden Lock Market - Recently

A group of Swedish people attending the Meaningless Slogan stall at the weekend were seen to be smiling. The incident was witnessed by several bystanders and sensationally caught on camera by our photographer.

Mr. Bjornandbenny, Swedish Prime Minister and not at all boring, at once called a crisis meeting in Stockholm. Hours later, a statement read: 'The Swedish Government realises that very occasionally our citizens do indulge in 'smiling' when on trips to foreign cities. However, they should know that this kind of behaviour is damaging the reputation of all Swedes everywhere'

Resignation

As soon as the scandal broke, Mr. Bjornandbenny was confronted by a damming youtube video showing him during his university days, openly smiling for the camera. The Prime Minister later claimed he had 'experimented' with smiling but 'didn't inhale'. Resignation was inveitable and swift.

PM flees disguised as moron

There has been one sighting of Bjornandbenny (in blue hat, below) since he fled his official residence on Sunday evening. Snapped by our ever-eagle-eyed reporter, he appears to have joined a cult of bad-taste worshippers in Jamtland. Note the facial expressions are all government-approved 'swedish' smiles - no teeth in evidence here.
