IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK : The Brexit Party has hit back today at claims their impressive funding is a bit on the nose, and suggestions that perhaps someone in authority should look into it.
”All of the donations to the party are from legitimate sources, whether domestic or foreign interference,” a spokesman claiming to speak for the party quacked, although he was speaking from behind a screen so we couldn’t be completely certain what he looked like,
“We’ve capped the donations at £500 so hard pressed, potatriotic British men and women don’t overspend, not because it’s the threshold for legal compliance with declaring who donated it.”
Whether or not that will be enough to allay concerns of various anti-potatriotic voices doesn’t appear to matter to the party’s founders.
“It’s not at all that we believe by the time anyone investigates we will be speeding down the highway in an old Model T Ford with a cloud of dust behind us.”
It’s definitely not because if you have the political impact you desire you need to worry a lot less about the legal ramifications of your actions.
“No one out to subvert democracy, and the rule of law, in the United Kingdom will be in any way encouraged by the leaderships of both the Conservative, and Labour parties, apparent willingness to blithe disinterest in the proven criminality in the 2016 EU referendum campaign,” the spokesman went on, “anyone who suggests otherwise is betraying baby Brexit.”
But just to be sure we decided to speak to Bonnie and Clyde and ask where they personally got the money they donated from.
But we couldn’t find them. Which is presumably part of the plan.
