It seems Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy boasts a dangerous secret weapon
in the form of a fearless army of pensioners. Rival political activists
trying to rile the portly Scot on the campaign trail in recent days have
come up against some unusually aggressive resistance from his veteran
supporters.

"We're talking about Lib Dem activists in their 60's and 70's" explains
one quaking Tory official. " They've started getting a bit rough with some
of our young campaigners who've been quite intimidated. Just the other day
I saw two pensioners grab one of our lads, while another got his
Conservative placard and tore it up. They may be getting on in years but
these people are terrifying."
