Nation Mourns As Victoria Beckham Kidnap Plot Foiled
 

Disappointment swept Britain this week when it emerged that a 5 million pound
plot to kidnap Victoria Beckham had been foiled by police.

A gang of Albanian criminals had come tantalisingly close kidnapping Posh Spice
and perhaps permanently ending her singing career but were thwarted at the last
minute by the inconsiderate actions of an undercover tabloid reporter.
 

--Posh: Still around.
 

As news of the failed kidnap spread, television and radio phone-ins around the
UK were swamped with expressions of sadness from members of the public
who had hoped Posh would be removed from their TV screens and
newspapers for good.

"Her abduction would have generated huge public excitement and might even
have boosted the economy" says  Professor John Lister, lecturer in Social
Sciences at Cambridge University. "It would also have meant no more solo
singles. Really, the benefit to society would have been incalculable. Now it
appears she is free to release another album."

He added: "We only wonder at what might have been."
