Cameron apologises to Adams over misplaced crown

DOWNING STREET was forced to make a humiliating apology to Sinn Féin president, Gerry Adams after the British prime minister announced he was being given the title of Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead, an office of the British Crown.

According to Mr Adams, he was issued with the apology last night by the Prime Minister’s private secretary after Mr Cameron told the House of Commons Mr Adams would no longer just be known as a republican figurehead, but as Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

“I’m not sure Gerry Adams will be delighted to be a baron,” he said, amid fits of laughter.
