London - An emergency session of the British House of Commons to discuss recent military setbacks in Norway and the opening of a new front in Ibernia was interrupted today when a deranged Italian woman, claiming to be a mystic, burst in on the session. Before the Sergeant at Arms could remove the self proclaimed seer, a Signora Traverso, admonished the chamber for not seeing the future as clearly as she. “I a see great misfortune for all. I a warn every-a-body, but a does someone listen to a me? No!” With the British capital dealing with an increased influx of both Italian and German refugees as a consequence of the war on the continent resources at home are stretched thin, and some watchers fear this incident will not help reduce tensions at home. Others however made light of the situation, with one MP noting with a guffaw, “Harrumph! What makes her think she can lecture us? Pshaw! If she was such a clairvoyant she should have seen her own fate and saved herself from it.”
