Chris Atkins churnalism news stunt – ‘Free Jo the Cat from Downing Street!’

by | Feb 23, 2011 | Web

2 years ago my aunt margaret adopted a stray cat and called him Jo. She looked after him and he settled in her Bermondsey flat. She fitted a cat flap so he could come and go and they became friends. He cleared up the rat problem in their flats, and wouldn’t let anyone hold him – except auntie margaret. Then in October he just vanished and she was really distraught. We all went out looking for him but couldn’t find him anywhere.

Then last week she called me up in tears to say that he’s moved into DOWNING STREET! He must have ended up in battersea cats home and they gave him to the prime minister last week.

As she didn’t technically own Jo, Battersea were well within their rights to take him, but she is really upset that he’s been taken away from her and she wants him back. Please join this group and email David Cameron and tell him to show some compassion and send him home.
thanks so much everyone’s support. Margaret is very upset but all your messages really help. Keep emailing Cameron
thanks tim for doing all this you’ve been a real saint! I’m overwhelmed by all these messages. I just wish they’d see sense and send jo home.
this is poor jo in my aunts flat. PLEASE send david cameron an email and say we want him sent home.
WOW loads of people joining – thanks so much everyone. PLEASE email cameron and tell him we want jo back.
He’s probably too busy selling off the NHS today… But IF enough of us e-mail he HAS TO LISTEN!
Thanks for setting up the group tim!!! I still can’t believe that my jo has ended up being taken into downing street. I nearly died when I saw him in the papers. He never let anyone hold him except me, so I’m not surprised he scratched those journalists! It sickens me that David Cameron isn’t satisfied with cutting all our services and hiking up the VAT… he’s taking our pets as well! I’ve just found some of his cat hair on the sofa, so we can PROVE it’s jo with a DNA test if we have to.
