A biker is riding by Howletts Zoo when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion' s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ' Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I have seen a man do in my whole life. The rider replies, ' Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right. The reporter says, ' Well, I will make sure this doesn’t go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... The Journalist ask, ‘ what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have? The biker replies, ' I'm a Royal Marine and support UKip. ' The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: ROYAL MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH. That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days!
