Bastille Stormed!
After a day of nearly warlike conditions in the French capital, a massive crowd of Revolutionaries took to arms and toppled the symbol of French monarchy. The Bastille -- a medieval era tower building that was used as a prison -- was set ablaze all day yesterday. The number of people in the Revolutionary mob is estimated to be around 1000; the numbers of casualties have yet to be determined. What does this mean for London? Is a revolution of our own brewing?

American Tariff Act: Will it work?
Could this be the new French flag?
Houses for Sale!
With a revolution brewing in France, what are the possible outcomes of the strife? Could France emerge unscathed, or will the nation crumble? Analysts say that if France had a new flag, it would look like this one. The red symbolizes the blood that will be spilled.

The London Looker
The Revolutionaries in France finally broke the tension that had been practically palpable this side of the Channel. News correspondents in Paris say that many Parisians "saw it coming." One woman said that she knew something was wrong when she did not smell the baguettes being baked in the early morning.
"Usually I smell them at 4:30. When it was 6:30 and I smelled nothing, I knew something was wrong. Then later, I smelled something else. It was gunpowder! I ran to my husband and we both cried for joy. Vive le France!"
One eyewitness quickly sketched this realistic image (left). The London Looker is proud to decode the French Revolution, and suggest what it might mean for England.
1. "The sky turned a muddled shade of dark burgundy. It looked like the sky was bleeding!" one witness reported.
2. Royal troops stormed through the archway, but they were sorely outnumbered by the eager masses.
3. The Revolutionaries were ready to fight!
4. Some men engaged in man-to-man combat.
5. Fires broke out all over town. Smoke was still seen this morning.
6. The exact number of casualties is not yet known.

GOOD FOR WHAT AILS YA!
More midwives are prescribing a half pint of Samuel Smith's dark ale than ever before. Why?
Recent studies have shown that a half pint of ale makes the pain of childbirth a little better.
And that's a lot better for you!
BUY SAMUEL SMITH'S ALE
Correction: The editors would like to apologize for misspelling the name of Joshua Oakes in yesterday's issue. We accidentally printed the name as Oaks, when it is really Oakes.
DEATHS
Angela Heller was the domestic companion of the Smith family in Chelsea. She was born in West Africa and escaped the trans-Atlantic slave trade. After she was brought to England, the Smith family employed her. They appreciated her work and are holding a public anti-slavery demonstration in Chelsea today in her honor.
