The editor of The Rochdale Herald was sectioned briefly today following a conversation with a millennial during which he was asked “what’s NATO?”
Mr Fortesqueue was buying a cheese sandwich for lunch and accidentally engaged in conversation with a Millennial about the US election and Donald Trump.
Mr Fortesqueue had apparently lifted the visor of his HazMat suit whilst uncharacteristically venturing outside of the editorial bunker when he was asked about the nature Trump’s relationship with Putin.
He was overheard to say;
“I’m more concerned about Trump’s relationship with NATO.”
When the Millennial said “what’s NATO?”
Fortunately Mr Fortesqueue had the presence of mind to lie down in the shop for a few minutes before trying to explain the North Atlantic Treaty to somebody who hadn’t heard of the either the Berlin Wall or The Cold War. If he hadn’t he might have hurt himself.
Quentin was gibbering in the Newsagents about JFK and Kruschev when he was collected by paramedics.
He is now safely back at his desk, heavily sedated and a little more drunk than usual.
