BBC to air special where Brexit voting baby boomers tell how they survived the Blitz

The BBC has announced it is to air a special so Brexit voting baby boomers can tell how they survived the Blitz, by way of helping encourage younger voters to build morale for a No Deal Brexit.

The ten part series will screen on all BBC stations, TV and digital, during the run up to Christmas this year, with special radio adaptations for broadcast on BBC radio stations.

”It’ll finally give the demographic that supports Brexit the most a voice,” BBC Director of Programming Rupert Banks-Putin-Farage told LCD Views, “it’s high time this little understood demographic, that suffered so much for the opportunities millennials now enjoy, are given a platform.”

As part of the publicity build up to the series we have been shown exclusive access to some of the content and allowed to describe passages below.

”It wasn’t like this when I was a lad,” A. Gammon says, standing in his villa on the Costa Del Sol, “we didn’t have the problem they have here of all these bloody immigrants lowering the tone of my choice location to retire.”

A. Gammon goes on to describe the formative conditions of his early life.

”I was celebrating my fourth, or fifth birthday with my family. It must have been 1959 or 1960. Of course my time was usually spent at the front, I was involved in the Battle of Little Bighorn,

”That was one of the seismic moments of WW2. My younger sister was out volunteering at a munitions factory. This was why my elder siblings, the ones who weren’t old enough to be in the trenches at Sevastopol, held the party for me.”

A. Gammon pauses, shaking his head in recollection.

”I recall seeing the cupcake that was my birthday cake being carried into the dining room. The table was just a wooden crate, which doubled as the bed for me and my grandparents.”

He pauses again.

”Tell a lie. It was just my grandfather, myself and a neighbour using the crate to sleep in at night. When we could. The air raid sirens were relentless. My grandmother was away, working in the baggage train at Agincourt.”

He smiles and points to a long bow hung on the wall.

”She was promoted before the end of the battle by Henry V himself. She was captain of an archery squad before finally succumbing to dysentery.”

A. Gammon shrugs.

”The rocket blew up our neighbour’s house four cities away. The percussion from the blast rippled through the icing on my cake. I’ll never forget it. We still ate the cake of course. What could you do? You had to make the best of things,

“You had a properly funded state education, including university, the  invention of the pill and a well resourced NHS to wade through. This is why I voted to Leave the tyrannical EU. The sacrifice I paid for freedom. Most young people don’t understand what myself and others went through to provide them with £50K plus a year, interest bearing tuition and an NHS that will be entirely owned by American private healthcare by this Saturday.”

The next clip was of J. Cordson. He was interviewed wearing his favourite gardening corduroys and turning over ground in his allotment.

”I remember the pain of thinking I’ll never get to live a revolution like the Cuban one at home. It just felt so unfair. I missed the Russian one because I was asleep. I’d made a lot of jam that day and I was tired.,

”The Chinese one I missed because I was singlehandedly resolving the conflict between a local council and their thought criminal MP. And how different North Korea would have turned out with a proper insurgency into the ruling party? Moderate traitors have ruined that party.

“I missed the actual revolution there because I was organising a series of small, town hall meetings in Hertfordshire. This is why I voted for Brexit. The rights the tyrannical EU forces onto ordinary citizens, its undemocratic. It’ll run headfirst into my plans to re-nationalise gulags for thought crime. I won’t stand for it,

“I didn’t sacrifice nearly four decades being paid out of the public purse to get no legislation on the books at all, just to watch the chance to stop pretending I give a fig about representative, parliamentary democracy slip away now. As any of my grassroots activists will tell you, there is agreeing with us 100% of the time on every single issue, or there is being a Tory. There’s nothing in between, well, except Brexit, that’s a bridge clearly between the far left and far right. We’ve just got to see who makes the omlette after all the eggs are broken. Mind your feet there, don’t squash my marrows.”

At the end of the series famous democrat John Redwood will make a direct appeal, alongside Boris Johnson and Iain Duncan Smith, to the public to really feel the testimonies they’ve heard, get behind Brexit, and push it over the line.

”After they’ll sacrifice a child,” Rupert adds, “because by the time we get there the Blitz spirit will have been replaced by the Aztec. Hopefully we’ll be televising that too.”

If Brexit is cancelled, the sigh of relief will be audible from space, claims NASA scientist

Many things are visible from space. The Great Wall Of China. New York City. Boris Johnson’s ego. But very few things are audible. In space, nobody can hear you scream, it is said. But the tense silence surrounding the Earth will be broken, should British leaders call off Brexit.

Scientists from NASA have calculated that the sigh of relief, should Brexit be dropped, would break the sound barrier and reverberate throughout the solar system. Already satellites have been placed on standby to detect the anticipated shock wave.

NASA spokesman Dr Luna Module tried to demystify the scientific principles involved. “Normal sound only passes through another medium,” she said. “Like air, or water. Here at NASA we have discovered a type of cosmic sound that can be detected in the wastes of space.”

This so-called ‘hyper-noise’, explained Dr Module, is created when a planetary or stellar body experiences a significant wobble. “This can be caused by any number of things,” she said. “Like a catastrophic event. The imminent implosion of the Brexit singularity will be accompanied by a sigh the like of which has never been heard before. The sheer relaxation of the planet will create tremors which would be audible many millions of miles up.”

It is hard to describe this new sound adequately. “Imagine Pink Floyd,” said Dr Module helpfully. “Or Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Rocket Man, or the Sound Of Silence. It’s nothing like any of them.”

The sound will travel, in all probability, throughout the solar system. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the little green men from Mars are already taking precautions against the sound causing their heads to explode.

The sigh is predicted to dislodge some of the many space rocks floating about the solar system. If it happens, instead of fireworks, expect a major display of shooting stars.

Boris Johnson launches ALT-BREXIT plan with Thames swimming stunt

Boris Johnson Friday launched his self styled “ALT-BREXIT” plan for taking the UK out of the European Union, with a typically grandiose stunt.

Clad in nothing but red white and blue striped Speedos and flashing V for victory signs Johnson launched himself from Lambeth pier in an attempt to swim the Thames and deliver his cling film wrapped plan, to a bemused Theresa May sipping chai latté on the House of Commons terrace.

A copy of the plan published on the Facebook page “Boris Johnson for Prime Minister” consisted of five bullet points:

  1. Make Boris Johnson Prime Minister
  2. Ask nice President Trump to make Brussels give us a good Brexit deal
  3. Unicorns!
  4. F*ck Ireland
  5. Build my shrubbery bridge as a tribute to my enormous success in freeing Britain from the shackles of Europe, and strap David Cameron naked to the southern end where he can be pelted with rotting fruit. 

However the stunt backfired as the outgoing tide swept him downstream, still clutching his self penned plan between his teeth.

The Thames estuary coastguard, Friday afternoon issued a warning to shipping regarding what they described as a “large gas-filled blubber like mass “ seen floating past Gravesend in the direction of Canvey Island.

“The mass in question is believed to be highly corrosive and liable to explode with rage if it any point it ceases to the centre of attention, and should thus be avoided at all costs,” the statement read.

The white Beluga whale which was this week reported to have taken up residence in the Thames estuary issued a strenuous denial of any involvement in the stunt and denied reports that it had been involved in any attempts to rescue Johnson.

Long time Canvey Island resident and former Dr Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson (No relation) confirmed to LCD Views that he has seen his namesake floating past “Down By the Jetty”, but given Johnson B’s “Stupidity”, he too had made no attempt to rescue him.

“Let’s face it, he’s never ‘done anything right’,” he laughed, twitching and staring maniacally into the middle distance.

Westminster to keep lights in Parliament permanently switched off as no one is ever home anyway

Fantastic news today for a country now dedicated to the wisdom of penny wise and pound foolish macroeconomic wonderstuffing with the announcement from the Palace of Westminster that they are going to save millions anally by keeping the lights in House of Come Off It! permanently switched off.

”No one is ever home anyway,” Mr Cranium, superintendent at HoC, told LCD Views,

“even when the old joint is heaving with MPs desperately voting for whatever so they can nip down to a taxpayer subsidised lunch, before all the creme brûlée is gone, you couldn’t say anyone was home, no matter how frantically the fluoro lights are buzzing.”

The cost saving measure is timely too, with MPs about to return to work (using the word loosely) after having pissed away several months avoiding their constitutionally stipulated work of careful governance.

”See how much the executive has gotten done while the lights have been off? They’ve created a whole new minister! Food security and ration app creation. And they dreamt up Chequers! They couldn’t have gotten that done stumbling around the HoC in the dark of their thoughts, bumping into each other all the time. Blowflies against window panes.”

The money saved will be put to good use too.

”Stockpiling mostly, for when the government succeeds in making a success of Brexit and Light Globe Britain strides forth onto the seas to introduce itself to puzzled heads of state wondering what the fcuk happened to the old Britain.”

And what will be stockpiled?

”Incandescent light bulbs. Mostly they’ll be suspended over the MPs’ heads to symbolise just how damn clever they were to think about appointing a food supply minister before intentionally breaking our food supply chains. That’s forward planning right there, that is. They can turn the bulbs on when they have another bright idea. We don’t expect that’ll add to the lighting bill at all.”

Country offered choice between Blind Brexit and Sleepwalking Brexit

The latest consensus on what could go on the People’s Vote ballot paper is another binary choice. Theresa May’s Blind Brexit or Jeremy Corbyn’s Sleepwalking Brexit.

This week’s Labour Party conference confirmed that it was still thinking about whether to Brexit or not. It considered the possibility of putting the decision to the British public. In the end, to cement its position, Momentum activists were sent to the hardware shop for timber and concrete. If we are going to sit on the fence, one insider suggested, might as well make sure it’s robust.

Labour is playing such a long game, it’s as if they left the room for a comfort break, and, instead of returning to the game, went on holiday instead.

As a result, it looks like we will have a choice between two evils. The country is at an impasse, caught between Corbyn’s irresistible farce and May’s immovable objection.

Political expert Rob Da Poore analysed the two options for us. “May has blinkered herself,” claims Da Poore. “See no evil, you know. Her red lines prevent any progress. Instead she is regressing towards the cliff edge and certain doom. Whereas Corbyn is making superficially attractive statements. He is promising to shake the magic money tree for the benefit of the many. But he is hamstrung by the promise to respect the referendum result. By saying much but doing little, he, too, is wandering towards the abyss.”

Surely the opinions of the People are important, so we spoke to everyman Joe Public. “I’m not bothered,” said Public. “If we are heading for oblivion either way, it doesn’t matter, does it? So long as I can still go to Star Wars conventions, I don’t care.”

Public revealed that he intends to vote Jedi should there ever be another election. “I can cope with their plans for world domination,” he explains.

Enjoy the rattling of lightsabres. May the farce be with you.

Conservative Party ensures its post-Brexit caviar supply will be both strong and stable

There has been considerable speculation about the Beluga whale that found its way up the Thames earlier this week. Now the truth has been revealed. It turns out that senior members of the conservative party are looking to set up their own means of caviar production in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

Speaking at a press conference, Theresa May said:

“Look, after Brexit, of course there’s going to be a shortage of food so it’s important that rich people can continue to enjoy luxury foods, and caviar is one of the chief symbols of that status, so naturally it’s one of our top priorities.”

A processing factory has already been put into operation to keep the supply coming.

For once Jacob Rees-Mogg was one hundred per cent behind her.

“She’s absolutely doing the right thing, enabling the rich to continue living in opulence.”

When asked if the top priority should actually be the basic necessities to feed the masses, not just a few snobs, Mr Rees-Mogg laughed and said:

“Oh don’t be silly. If a few million plebs have to die because they can’t get some meat then that’s just bad luck, but you can’t expect people like us to do without our caviar surely? That would be ridiculous. How will nanny feed me dinner if my silver spoon is ligula argento vacua.

The conviction with which he said this left this reporter in no doubt as to his sincerity to this cause clearly so close to what passes for his heart.

UN recognises U.K. as world’s first official Idiocracy

The United Nations have shown solidarity with the United Kingdom, during its current metamorphosis from sensible global citizen to basket case, by recognising the U.K. as the world’s first official Idiocracy.

“It is a hotly contested field,” UN spokesman Mrs Nnited Uations told LCD View’s first world problems analyst, “You would have thought that the US, by electing a man who confessed blithely to sexual assaults as president, would have been a shoe in. But plucky little Global Britain has got its nose to the fore and scooped the accolade of first Idiocracy on Earth.”

The surge by the UK that sees it take the prize was powered by the official appointment of a minister to oversee food shortages.

“America starves its poor. The UK starves its poor. It’s neck and neck in that thanks to right wing policies, primarily fuelled by the thinking (if you can call it that) of libertarian, darwinian tossers, but to actually plan to starve your entire population?

“And to announce a minister to that end. And to expect to stay in government after? An industrialised, first world country with an interconnected and highly efficient supply chain of food, which the intention is to tear to threads at the stroke of a clock just so a bunch of currency speculators can get even richer? Wow. Now that’s a level of national idiocy that even Trump hasn’t managed, yet.”

Prime Minister Ms May is to receive a gold plated ration book later today, in recognition of her government’s achievement, and she will be asked to share it with the leader of the official opposition, as it is really a cross party effort.

“You can’t turn your country into an Idiocracy with an official opposition actually opposing the policy agenda that does it,” the UN rep explained, “but you know what they say, never interrupt an elected representative in the middle of a taxpayer funded meal. No matter how many lives will be thrown into calamity by the pursuit of Idiocracy, at least 650 bellies will always be full.”

May to offer ‘People’s Vote’ on her Brexit deal v Remain

Somehow still prime minister Theresa May is to offer the people a ‘People’s Vote’ on her soon to be negotiated EU deal, versus cancelling Brexit and remaining in the EU.

The shock news comes ahead of the looming Conservative Party Conference, to be held in Stirling this year, and is intended to…

”Stop Boris screwing about with the sign behind her when she speaks this year,” strategic consultant to the PM, Mr Strategy, told LCD Views.

It’s believed the offer to confirm the will of the people prior to the greatest constitutional change to the U.K. since WW2 is being done because at the end of the day democracy is the most important thing. And yes, in spite of what some curious (curious in the sense of being idiots) people seem to believe, offering the people a confirmatory vote is more democracy, not less.

”It’ll also completely blindside the dumb old trots running Labour for a while, who are just playing politics with Brexit,” Mr Strategy said, “unlike ourselves who are just running scared of some homegrown swivelled eyed sociopaths we stupidly stuck blue rosettes on. Oh, and the Russians, we’ve taken far too much of their money. You wouldn’t believe how compromised we are as a party. It’s terrifying.”

Quite what the Labour leadership will make of the offer is not yet certain, but an insider with an ear inside their ruling Council of Ministers gave us the following, off the record, quote,

”A People’s Vote, without ruling out remain, that is not in the prime minister’s gift. That is solely the preserve of Labour and other jams. We’ll sue for intellectual property theft. This completely fcuking blindsides us strategically. It’s not on. We get to stare into the maw of the political gifthorse of Brexit as long as we fcuking well please! We call the shots. The Tories are finished.”

If Labour doesn’t seize the day, or carp and diem, as JRM might say, I wouldn’t be surprised if the savage strategists in the Tory Party, who know how to cling to power (even if it’s only to make people starve), take the gifthorse away.

Labour to debate whether to re-arrange chairs for Brexit debate

The steering committee at Labour’s annual conference in Liverpool has confirmed that it has allocated time for a debate as to whether seating arrangements in the main conference hall should be altered prior to any further debate on Brexit.

Committee spokesperson Loretta Beckence confirmed that the committee recognised that the Labour party is a broad church and that members have the right to disagree.

“For that reason we need to ensure that anyone opposing Jeremy’s decision to leave the European Union should only be allowed to sit at the back of the hall, preferably on the floor, bound and gagged,” she explained.

“They need to understand that their ideology of free thought and open debate is dead in the water and being forced down by the giant foot of popular historical Momentum,” she added explaining that those who failed to support the Corbyn leadership’s commitment to free speech and open debate will be purged.

“Like the half-digested Blairite scum that they are,” she added.

Labour’s shadow chancellor John McDonnell confirmed to waiting reporters that neither the debate on seating arrangements nor any debate on Brexit itself would include any discussion on whether or not Brexit should actually go ahead.

“The people have spoken, and to do anything other than implement their will on the positioning of furniture or leaving the EU, would be a betrayal of the democratic process,” he snarled.

McDonnell declined to respond to questions as to whether at the next general election he would be seeking to overturn the will of the people that signally failed to come even close to electing Labour at the last three elections in 2010, 2015 and 2017, and in 2005 elected Labour as a single party government with only 35% of the vote, the lowest vote count recorded by a winning party in a general election.

“As Chinese communist leader Humpty Dumpty so rightly put it ‘When I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less’,” he sneered.

Donald Trump to become standup comedian

Donald Trump is a name that has been attached to several titles over the years, mainly in the fields of business and politics, but now it seems he’s going to try adding another string to his broken bow, that of standup comedian.

When asked why at a press conference, he replied:

“It’s simple really. I got up and started telling some jokes at the UN, and they all cheered and applauded. And then it hit me – if they want to laugh at my material, then let’s get them to pay to hear it. So I’m gonna take it on tour.”

There have been some questions raised over the jokes he would be telling. No previews were available unless people wanted to pay $45,000 upfront – which nobody did – but rumour has it Trump’s material would make Bernard Manning look positively PC by comparison. Certainly it is hard to imagine Trump punching up when he takes so much delight in punching down.

The name of the show will be President Of Laughter – assuming his spelling is corrected, as he held up a draft tour poster saying “PREZZYDUNT OF LAFFTER”.

The tour is going to start in the US, but there is talk of a few select international venues. On this side of the Pond, comedian Frankie Boyle had a recommendation.

“He should come to Glasgow and play the Empire. When they talk about comedians dying on stage there, they mean it very differently to the rest of the world.”

Well, we hope he draws the crowds he deserves. Who knows, if all goes well America could give him the same reaction they eventually gave Bill Cosby.
