CAN YOU RAISE ATLANTIS : The United Kingdom has apparently been removed from the ‘Hall of Democracies – Blue Planet” exhibition, if reports on inter-galatic social media site, MilkyWayWay, are correct.
“Shortly before 4am, GMT, Professor Bugeyed Furrball of the University of Stars, Sirius 9 campus, posted on his timeline that after careful re-evaluation of the exhibits relating to planets civilised by intelligent life forms, he had decided to remove the United Kingdom from the sub-section relating to democracy,” our inter-galatic correspondent reports this morning, from a garden shed on Earth.
The removal of the UK from the exhibition has long been anticipated after the country decided to do its utmost to turn itself into a banana republic.
“The fraudulent advisory referendum of 2016 was the start of the slide of the UK’s universal reputation as a well managed democracy,” our correspondent continues, “although there had been concerns for some time that persisting with the anachronistic FPTP electoral system may have been sufficient in itself to see the UK removed,” our correspondent continues, “also the thinly veiled decision to turn London into one big money laundering racket, for the profit of certain political figures and their kleptocratic chums from various overseas places, was also shining a bright light onto the UK.”
But what will happen to the UK’s exhibit now that it has been removed by the alien anthropologist?
“It will still be displayed,” our correspondent advises, “anyone, or anything, can view it at the museum. It’s just been removed to the hall named ‘Countries governed by different types of fruit’. In our case we’re now represented by a banana. But at least it’s a straight one.”
