Bonnie Tyler might well have been looking for a hero since 1984 but it goes without saying that her search would have been considerably shorter if she lived in Moseley. When publicity shy, Liberal Democrat candidate, Martin Mullaney foiled a burglary he once again made the streets of Moseley safe for us mere mortals.

According to the Birmingham Evening Mail, Martin managed to prevent a burglary by taking the keys of the get away vehicle and giving chase down one of Moseley’s busy thorough fares. The burglars were spotted whilst Martin was posting some of his many leaflets through doors. Quite why he was still campaigning after he came third in the election three months ago reamins unclear but in many ways it’s lucky for us that he was.

In all to brief interview in the local paper he said that it was his many years of watching the “Sweeney” that taught him all he knows about fighting crime. As yet we don’t know if this means he was on his way back from an all night session in an illegal drinking den or if he fitted up two innocent people.

West Midlands Police are now looking into the practical benefits of fitting a large search light onto the roof of Lloyd House. This could then be used to shine a golden “M” into the sky in times of civil unrest. It may sound like nonsense and in many ways it is.
