Gordon Brown has agreed emergency measures to save Britain’s snowmen, who it is feared are facing complete meltdown in the current climate. Having previously enjoyed a period of relative security throughout Monday and Tuesday, snowmen in the South-East in particular, are in danger of being reduced to just a rump ‘unless urgent measures are taken’.

The Prime Minister said in Parliament that snowmen were being lost at an alarming rate and that this was more than just a ‘face saving formula’ (although bits of coal were being provided for this as well). David Cameron lashed out at the plans, claiming that the government’s snowmen proposals were ‘all carrot and no stick’.

No worries - relief is on its way from a higher source. The Met Office has issued the local council with a Red Alert for more snow from 3am tomorrow morning.

Sad it all came as a bit of a shock for my Snow Alien- we applied for the help but just because he was from another planet - they said, he wasn't entitled to apply. They are "looking at" trying to help Snow Aliens but the report into it, won't be ready until Mid August - by which time I fear it will be all too late.

This is outrageous - your Snow Alien is just as entitled to help as any snowman. This discrimination is the thin end of the wedge - contact the Daily Mail immediately!
