Great news for the North East of England today with the news from French owned car giant Nissan that production of a penny farthing will stay in the U.K. post Brexit, regardless of what size and flavour of cake the EU agree to give Theresa May.
LCD Views spoke to the Japanese ambassador yesterday, after he attended yet another meeting of heads of all major car brands with the acting prime minister at 10 Downing Street.
“Who is that individual?” he asked, with a frown, “just, what does she think she is doing?
Every decision she makes is made in the moment and reversed a moment later.
Is this really Global Britain?
Where is your political opposition?
Do you still have a functioning representative parliament?
Why is the official opposition going along with the national economic suicide plot?
Why are they not traitorously subverting the overwhelming mandate for isolation delivered on the 23rd June 2016 to make Mr Farage very happy?”
All good questions ambassador, that I am sure the BBC will interrogate fully.
“She is pursuing a policy that makes continuing to manufacture cars and almost everything else in the United Kingdom impossible, in all likelihood.
And I have to find a way to politely tell you that it is over. You are entering the era of national managed decline.”
It’s a good thing he’s not British. This sounds like treason!
“But due to the decades of fruitful union between Japanese car makers and the people of England, we will leave you with a legacy industry that best symbolises Brexit and your future.”
That’s something at least, what will it be?
“Production of a new square wheeled penny farthing will occur in the United Kingdom, so long as you agree to provide a tax incentive in the billions for it.”
So May has offered them the same deal she’s offering everyone? One she can’t afford?
“It was a curious meeting, as at one point, your prime minister got furious and ordered Nissan to keep car making in the North East on patriotic grounds.
She tried to slam the table and her fist slipped over the edge and she hit herself in the knee.”
Strong and stable.
“She then accused us of subverting the will of the people by insisting we could only run a business here if it made a profit.”
Have you seen the government’s political P/L sheet?
“Bicycle. You can have a bicycle.”
LCD Views would like to commend the automotive industry for its decision to keep manufacturing of one Victorian British classic within the United Kingdom, in good faith and trusting to the bespoke bicycling deal we will strike with our friends and partners in Europe as we forge a new, deep and special relationship.
“You realise we’re only doing this because you won’t be able to afford a car?”
Thank you Japanese ambassador.
You’re the only person who has emerged from 10 Downing Street and spoken the truth for a very long time.
What will the new penny farthing model be called?
“Le Farage.”
