Circuses 'short of UK performers'
Clowns protest outside Parliament
On the day when our Clown-in-Residence is off learning a few new slight of hand tricks and jumping through a few more hoops whilst paying homage to his masters,

A few pegs short of a Big Top!

British circus clowns are in short supply, MPs were told
Britain is suffering a shortage of home grown clowns and acrobats, MPs on the home affairs committee have been told.
Malcolm Clay, of the Association of Circus Proprietors of Great Britain, said they needed to recruit performers from China and Eastern Europe.
But they feared the new points-based migration system, which starts next month, is not ready and Embassy staff have not been properly trained.
Mr Clay was giving evidence to the home affairs committee.
