Kind Folk,

Something had to be done – or so we were told.

Back in 2023, Scissorman had tried and failed to surround London in some symbolic gesture to either cut of the balls of that city, or in fact cut off whatever balls Bill Drummond might have left.

The Intercontinental Twinning Association (The ITA) were called upon to try and resolve matters.

The ITA thought it might be appropriate to twin Scissorman with his namesake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

But...

Once this was done, these twinned Scissormen wanted more. Or at least they wanted more attention. To do this the Scissormen focussed their attention on Springfield, Ohio in the USA, where Donald Trump was recently threatening to visit, so he could use the Haitian Diaspora as a target for his lies.

Undercover in the State of Ohio, these Scissormen recorded the soundtrack for a short film that exists to highlight the exploits of Scissorman in Haiti.

This Last sentence is not totally true. As in the soundtrack was also recorded in Columbus, Ohio and East17 via The Granite City and filtered through the waters of The Penkiln Burn.

It is hoped that the combined forces of these Scissormen, might - by coincidence - cut off what is left of the shrivelled testicles of Donald Trump.

But...

If you want to watch a film with the title, I DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR NAME IS by The Scissormen it is here...

Kind Regards,

Post Script:
It has been brought to my attention and thus I feel impelled that I should share this information...

Donald Trump and Bill Drummond share many things in common. Both being men that have lied, not only to women in their lives but to you. Both are men in their 70s who are still under the illusion that they can act like they are still in their 30s. Both exploit their Gaelic heritage. Both are the sons of an immigrant. Both are unable to see themselves as others see them. Both have sat having afternoon tea at Turnbury while watching the sun set beyond the Ailsa Craig.
