Scotland Yard is investigating a suspected gunshot that hit the back window of a taxi containing the Private Eye editor, Ian Hislop.
The black-cab driver told detectives he had come to a standstill in traffic in Soho, central London, just after 10am on Tuesday morning when he heard what he believed was a bullet hitting and damaging his window.
Both the driver and Hislop, who was in the rear of the cab, escaped without injury.
Perhaps a warning rather then a genuine murder attempt?
Though the list of suspects must be “Any politician, celebrity or person who has been in the news and done something wrong, stupid or hypocritical since the 1980s”.
