The House of Lords was in danger of becoming fully relevant to life in 21st Century Britain today after getting hold of a big old piece of reality yesterday.
”It’s not on,” a spokesman for the United Kingdom’s robot prime minister told LCD Views,
“we’ve been expending pretty much all the effort and energy, and the limited expertise of the current cabinet, to keep one big smelly dead cat on the table after another so we can fall over a cliff edge.
This is possible if social media keeps obsessing over whether or not Putin is prepared to have Russia become a big sheet of glass over Assad?
Which he’s not.
But the end of the world is so emotional people don’t stop to ask why so many Russian dissidents get killed in the U.K. and what link is there to dirty klepto cash swilling about London.
And now the friggin’ Lords storm in and put something based on reality on it?!”
It’s not helpful of them.
“It’s not! Boris is going to have to say something especially daft today to stop media coverage of the customs union and its importance.”
The frustration felt by the government relating to the vote in the Lords yesterday, in which the government suffered a whopping defeat on its “Economic suicide bill so asset strippers can go apeshit”, otherwise known as the EU Withdrawal Bill, formerly known as the Great Orange Peel Bill, is going to require a response.
Perhaps another capitulation by the Maybot?
Or is the government going to fight back?
”We are. Mostly against ourselves, should the Lords amendment pass through the Commons too.
Jacob is threatening to trigger a leadership contest. May is pretty much begging him to so she can be re-programmed as a hat stand.”
But wasn’t a key claim of the Leave camp is that Brexit will give control back to parliament? The Lords are behaving as they should, some may claim.
“Take back control of shifting U.K. assets and cash to secret overseas havens and dodge taxes! That’s take back control.
Any defeat threatens the major investment of disaster capitalists over years.
We should probably try and starve the Lords out. Lock them in and refuse them food until they submit. Failing that we start tunnelling underneath their walls.”
Aren’t you worried most would just sleep through a seige?
”Bloody Adonis will run about waking people up. This has undermined our negotiating position. We go any deeper into the pothole we’ve been digging on the road to Brexit and we risk vanishing completely out of sight.”
That would be nice.
“Excuse me?”
Here, have my shovel and keep digging.
