Country on the brink of economic suicide after falling for online hoax

Sources close to the government of the UK have warned that the country has fallen for a social media hoax, and as a result is preparing to commit suicide. The Momo challenge has reached the corridors of power, and the country is on the brink.

The UK has apparently accessed a toxic variant, known as the Bojo challenge.

The hoax works by setting participants a series of tasks, of increasing difficulty and undesirability. Failure to comply results in realistic threats. In extreme circumstances, the player can get drawn into the game. In this case, the player believes that they are in control, but in reality they are still being played. This is where the UK is right now.

As usual, the challenges start simple and subtle. The first Bojo challenge was to rig a public vote. No trouble, but then the threats started. “Go hard, or I withdraw my support,” was one such threat, from a user codenamed ‘Nannyman’. “Send in a useless negotiator, because you know you’re on to a loser,” was another. This particular challenge has been repeated three times so far.

Insider and interweb expert Sir Chen Djinn gave LCD Views an insight. “The ultimate challenge, often veiled, now overt, is ‘No deal! No deal! Fall off the cliff! Everything is pointless. Commit economic suicide!’,” revealed Sir Chen. “The hoaxers behind the Bojo challenge are seeing how far the UK’s leaders will go before somebody steps in to stop the rot. I believe that the hoaxers have organised a sweepstake, and there is a bowl of borscht and a litre of Smirnoff at one of Moscow’s top restaurants waiting for the winner.”

Bojo is widely believed to be a fake profile with a bizarre avatar, set up under a veneer of respectability. The Bojo hoax is doubly effective because there is a real-life fake politician with a bizarre avatar operating in the UK, using the name ‘Nigel Farage’.

Brexit is a hoax. Who dares say it out loud, and deny Vladimir Putin his posh nosh?
