Downing Street “upbeat” over fuel crisis as it is distracting public from other crises

MOLOTOV COCKTAIL DEAD CAT : IDIOTS and UNPATRIOTIC TYPES can NOT BE FORGIVEN for BELIEVING that the country’s empty petrol stations are a source of concern for 10 Downing Street.

“It’s the opposite,” a source inside 10 Downing Street TOLD LCD Views. “It’s a real and tangible benefit. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect. I mean have you looked around you? Talk about a multi-catastrofuck. The entire country is going down the pan because we got Brexit done. Thank God for the fuel crisis! That’s really focused minds.”

Focused minds and taken them away (temporarily) from all the other crisis now ongoing.

“We’ve got the pandemic still raging which is now essentially democide in the form of interpretive governance dance. We’ve got the food supply chain difficulties that pre-existed the petrol crisis. We’ve got an NHS waiting lists crisis because we wanted the public to take the virus on the chin. This is because none of us understand economics. Forget about seeing a dentist. Trash piling up in the streets in Kent. That’s the bits we haven’t carparked for Brexit. We got a gas crisis. A burnt down connector to France crisis that no one is bothering to wonder about. Phew! An international credibility crisis. We’re just hoping if we ignore NI that it will go away. The Scots ready to leave the country which means parking the nukes in the Thames. A crisis of food poverty because we’ve spent over a decade deliberately creating poverty by policy. Ministers routinely breaking the law, but thankfully getting away with it. Racists unhappy because we’re not placing naval mines into the Channel. But we still need to bait them after spending years grooming them. And on top of all of this we still have to save Christmas. Which means finding a way to get turkeys to market after we’ve made it illegal for the workers trained to do it to come to Blighty. What fuel crisis? That’s the wrong question. Thank god for the fuel crisis!”

It couldn’t come at a better time.

Downing Street to decide correct curvature of bananas in “big win for Brexiters”

THEY DON’T LIKE IT UP ‘EM : 10 DOWNING STREET is to follow the amazing victory for Brexiters over crowns on pint glasses by seizing the banana by the horn.

Later this week a press conference will be held to excite everyone with the news that a secret working group, the BRG, has been studying bananas for months. The group is believed to include the “Brexit Spartans”, is taxpayer subsidised (to ensure quality lunches) and has been hard at work with that most iconic of fruits to Brexiters.

“The banana has long been a symbol of British sovereignty and global power,” a 10 Downing Street source told LCD Views. “In recent years the European Commission has attempted to degrade that sovereignty with attempts to meddle in British bananas. Thanks to Brexit we have taken back control of bananas so fully we may well found a republic.”

Exactly what the correct curvature of a banana is in order to qualify as British isn’t yet clear.

“That’s why we’ve done the research,” the source explains. “We measured the knees of proper British men while the leg was flexed in various positions. We then found the optimal angle for complete control of our borders. This we used to study bananas of varying shapes and sizes. The ones that looked the most patriotic were used to set a minimal curvature. A law will shortly be passed in parliament to make it clear to everyone what is a British banana and what is a lesser one from Europe.”

Lesser bananas will be seized by UK border force and then repatriated to Europe in exchange for seasonal fruit pickers on temporary visas.

“Next time you hold a banana you’ll known it is a British banana,” the source adds. “We will never again say we have no bananas today, unless they’re foreign ones. And yes, we couldn’t have done this without Brexit.”

Lord Frost demands EU renegotiate Brexit deal to include HGV drivers

THE IDIOT’S IDIOT : THE UK’S ENTITLED WRECKING BALL lord frost IS TO DEMAND THE EU RENEGOTIATE BREXIT.

Demands to renegotiate Brexit were expected to be an annual UK festival but now that Brexit is done the festival has become weekly. We all just love doing it so much.

In part the popularity of the event is to keep the EU talking to the UK. Even if we are now the aged, soiled drunk in the corner of the bar attempting to barge our way into a group of functional people having a good time. We think we’re a lovable rogue (with barely a pound in our pocket) and we don’t care what they think. But it is also in part because the charlatans who delivered Brexit don’t have any ideas what to do about the crises they’ve delivered. Best try and keep the focus on Europe! If we make enough fuss maybe they’ll give us what we want to shut us up.

If the EU agrees to reopen negotiations it will be a substantial win for Brexit.

“They have to play ball,” a 10 Downing Street source told LCD Views. “It’s in their interest as much as ours. Really, they still need us more than we need them but they just haven’t realised yet that we hold all the cards.”

It is hoped the German automotive sector will apply pressure on the Commission to begin the renegotiation. Soon the HGV drivers will come flooded back across the English Channel.

“It’s obvious that the moment we left the EU we became more powerful than they could possibly imagine. They just haven’t realised it yet. In the interim, don’t drive your car, don’t go to the pharmacy, don’t eat more than you need to subsist, don’t watch what’s happening to democratic principles of governance, but do wait for Boris Johnson’s to emerge from hiding with a classical reference about petrol refineries. Because that will help imbue confidence in the market.”

BREAKING : Government to bring back conscription to solve fuel crisis

OPERATION BOWSER : 10 DOWNING STREET has reportedly been in a “huddle” over a crate of Masseto Toscana IGT, said to have been gifted to the Prime Minister from someone believed to have a villa in Tuscany. While the preference is usually for the most expensive wine that can be purchased and delivered as a gift from France, the PM is reported to be “thinking outside the box” to solve the fuel crisis.

“He’s come up with a crowd pleaser,” a 10 Downing Street source told LCD Views. “A solution that will have many Tory MPs bursting their britches in delight and will warm the cockles of the ageing Sun and Mail readers.”

A solution is needed for the fuel crisis fast as currently 50-85% of the UK’s petrol stations have been emptied in panic buying. Quite why trust in the government has eroded to this point isn’t yet understood, but many are ready to blame Brussels.

“Conscription will get this sorted,” the source says. “Just imagine the joy on the faces of kippers and gammon up and down the land when they see the headlines on the papers? It’s not them who’ll be conscripted, so that’s alright. They can rest easy in their petrol queue knowing that some young layabout who’s had it too good their whole life will be wrenched out of their day to day routine and put in uniform.”

In order to get the numbers needed to fill the HGV void a press gang style conscription will be used.

“Just as soon as we’ve conscripted the soldiers to form the press gangs. This is a necessary first step because all the existing armed forces are currently already driving trucks, ambulances and picking fruit. It’s a mystery which idiots allowed armed forces to get so low in numbers over the last decade. Presumably it’s the fault of the last Labour government.”

Anyone not wishing to be conscripted can get an opt-out though, if they prepare in advance.

“Just be born into the family of a Tory or a donor and you’ll get a free pass and a PPE contract to apologise for the inconvenience.”

Join the army! Quick! Johnson is deploying it in so many areas he’s buggered already we’re definitely going to need more squaddies.

BREAKING : UK to return to “barter based economy” by end of next Thursday

MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND : THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER IS BELIEVED TO BE BEHIND a new plan to end the constant sense of dread and anxiety which is “dampening” down the UK’s economic recovery.

Convincing sufficient numbers of people to pretend the pandemic has ended was a key initial step in the recovery. Operation “I’m alright Jack” has seen many return to living as normal in the hope it’ll just be people they don’t know who die prematurely. Unfortunately the impact of Brexit is causing completely unforeseen problems.

“Rishi has decided it’s time to completely re-engineer the economy,” a source close to the Chancellor says. “It was a bit of a surprise what happens when you take a deeply internationally interconnected industrially developed country and rip it out of reality. No one at all could have seen what Brexit would unleash. It’s all coming totally out of left field to the genius inheritance millionaires sensibly given command of the country.”

But that won’t stop them meeting the challenges they’ve created for all of us headfirst.

“Barter is the way forward. Just for the plebs you understand. Really. Anyone who doesn’t have offshore accounts will qualify for a new Good Egg scheme. Under the scheme people will be given an egg and instructed to go and trade it for another food commodity with a neighbour.”

It is felt returning the peasants to a subsistence lifestyle based on bartering will end concerns over fuel and sufficient numbers of workers for all sectors of the economy.

“So long as international businessman continue to invest money into London and buy property here no one has any concerns about the Conservatives’ economic policies. If you’re lucky you might be able to swap the egg for some flour and then you can combine forces to make a pancake. Which will be lovely.”

After the first egg has been successfully bartered the scheme will end but the need to barter to survive will remain.

*eggs to be made of non-biodegradable plastic and supplied by a Tory donor.

BREAKING : PM confident messing up his hair will solve fuel crisis

A STITCH IN TIME : PRIME MINISTER BORIS JOHNSON is to solve the fuel crisis afflicting Britain by employing one of his standard tactics.

It’s believed the plan involves messing up his hair and standing outside 10 Downing Street pretending he’s just walked Dylin.

“He regrets getting that hair cut,” a source inside 10 Downing Street tells LCD Views. “He could do with being able to produce a mess as big as the country at the moment. No one will think he’s capable of overseeing such a rapid deterioration in the UK’s standard of living so far if he’s got messy hair. I mean, he’s so harmless!

Other techniques will also be tried to stop the panic buying, which bafflingly to all seems to represent a loss of public trust in Boris Johnson’s government.

“He’s going to promise that everything will be better tomorrow, we just have to believe,” the source explains. “It’s classic Johnson. It’s always a lovely day tomorrow while today is always provably worse than yesterday. Tomorrow never comes, if you like. It works wonders.”

Government insiders are keen for the PM to “get a grip” on the senses of panic in the United Kingdom and “choose a fall guy” for the current calamity amongst ministers.

“We do need to get the fuel panic out of the way fast,” the source admits. “God only knows what problem Brexit will cause next week and there’s only so many times he can muss up his blonde locks before he needs a stiff drink and a good long rest.”

Downing Street to read ERG research papers into Brexit to solve Brexit crises

WE HAVE OUR BEST PEOPLE WORKING ON IT : 10 Downing Street has announced an extensive review of the “monumental” body of research compiled by the publicly subsidised European Research Group.

The ERG became famous in the years before Brexit for the intensity of its study into the relationship between the UK and the EU, and it is expected that they will have anticipated and solved all the problems now afflicting the UK.

“The ERG was composed of some of the finest minds the UK government has produced,” a 10 Downing Street source told LCD Views. “The cladding on their intelligence is phenomenal. Nothing gets in that they don’t want to. No fact. No semblance of reality can enter. In fact some of them are so dense between the ears that light bends around them. We expect this stellar quality will mean they had an unfettered imagination and will have foreseen and solved the many crises the pingdemic has caused Brexit. Which otherwise would have been completely successful.”

Where 10 Downing Street will turn if there aren’t any answers in the ERG papers is not yet clear, but it’s thought blaming the EU will satisfy most, regardless of outcomes.

“It’s impossible to imagine that Rees-mogg, Bridgen, Francois and other heavyweights won’t have already predicted and sorted out the supply chain crisis. Christmas will be saved. And if it isn’t the Prime Minister will simply unleash the bubonic plague so we can blame that. The most important thing is no one says that Brexit was the stupidest thing any country has done in living memory.”

While the public waits for the papers to give up their illuminations it is important that NO ONE PANICS.

Just because no one smart enough to do Brexit would, doesn’t mean that the people who did it are complete and utter idiots. Some of them are extremely successful vulture capitalists.

BREAKING : Downing Street announces plan to build 40 NEW PETROL STATIONS!

CRISIS AVERTED : FANTASTIC NEWS for Great British motorists this morning after Prime Minister Boris Johnson personally intervened to solve the fuel crisis caused by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

“He’s taking full control of the fuel crisis,” a 10 Downing Street source told LCD Views. “When you’re in a crisis you need an expert.”

Under plans that are “still being finalised” the government will state its intention to build forty new petrol stations. The new petrol stations will be spread in a line between 10 Downing Street to Chequers to best amplify Mr Johnson’s “levelling up” agenda.

In the interim there will be short term measures to stop the “panic at the pumps”.

“Having TORY MPS TWEET IN CAPS THAT THERE IS NO CRISIS IS A GREAT FIRST MOVE. THAT’S EXCELLENT FIREFIGHTING RIGHT THERE,” the source comments. “But Mr Johnson will also personally intervene to state ‘Fuck petrol pumps’.”

Another step will be to sequester Health Secretary Sajid Javid to bring his magic into dampening down public expectations.

“He’s going to drive around declaring anywhere carrying a flammable liquid a petrol station. Every off licence that sells lighter fluid will suddenly find itself declared a fully functioning petrol station. He can easily fit this into his diary alongside declaring GP surgeries new hospitals.”

People are asked to do their part while the new petrol stations are being created.

“We will have to stop telling EU lorry drivers to piss off for a few days,” the source acknowledges. “Just while we get our contingency plans rolling. So we’re asking patriotic British voters to stop shouting speak English at forrins. Just until we’ve sorted out the problems created by the pingdemic for motorists. Once that’s sorted it’s back to xenophobic, delusional, self-sabotaging, toxic, fascist appeasing nonsense because it works for the Cons at the polls.”

BREAKING : Priti Patel placed in medical coma until EU visa rules are tightened again

HOLD FAST : THE ARCHITECT OF SO MUCH SUFFERING, the bringer of so much woe, the ender of Freedom of Movement, the UK’s Home Secretary Priti Patel has been rushed to a private hospital this afternoon and placed into a medical coma.

The dramatic medical intervention is thought to have been authorised from the highest ranks of government after Prime Minister Complete and Total Disaster agreed to relax rules regarding EU lorry drivers.

“No 10 wishes to reassure the country that the PM has only agreed to relax the rules out of fear of the impact of food and fuel shortages on his personal polling,” a Downing Street spokesman said. “He has not done it out of concerns for the national good or anyone’s personal welfare. Please do not be mistaken. He’s just as incompetent and self-centred as he has always been.”

But in spite of the reassurance some are wondering if the U-turn on drivers will raise questions over the intelligence behind Brexit.

“We could not have relaxed visa rules on EU lorry drivers, to alleviate food and fuel shortages, if we hadn’t first done Brexit,” the spokesman reminded the country. So all is well and good then.

As to Ms Patel personally, it was felt sedation may first have been all that was required, but there were concerns she would still react “aggressively” to the news and the “PM doesn’t have time in his schedule today for a wedgie”.

It is thought that the coma will be reversed once a suitable collection of videos of women protesting against violence being met with violence has been compiled.

“She will be brought out slowly and carefully,” the spokesman advised. “A soundtrack of traumatised EU nationals incorrectly detained at UK borders will play as images of women being slammed into the dirt by police are projected on all the walls of her room. In time it is hoped she well learn to adjust to the first blows against her humanitarian victory of ending FOM.”

It is not sure what will be done once more U turns on immigration rules are required owing to a shortage of sedatives caused by the ending of FOM by Ms Patel and her colleagues.

Parliament begins three week recess because the country is so well managed

PARTY HATS ON : Westminster has gone into recess for the next three weeks. The decision to shutter the place is technically for party conference season, but really it’s because everything is going so well MPs are taking another well earned break to have some parties.

“Just look about you,” a 10 Downing Street source told LCD Views. “Everywhere you look you can see the impact of sovereignty. Shops. Petrol stations. NHS. Dentists. Control of our borders. It’s amazing what we’ve achieved in just a few months since we got Brexit done.”

Of course it has been long established that nothing can stop a parliamentary recess.

“Recess is the toughest manmade substance known,” the source agrees. “You can’t stop it. It’s like a runaway freight train and it’s left the tracks and is headed for your house. Unlike a grocery delivery. Ha!”

Conferences will be a little different this year with MPs wondering who has got the virus.

“That’s why Tory MPs haven’t been wearing masks in the House of Commons. Forward planning. Let’s all get sick now. One big measles party. Get it over and done with and have at the canapes and champers!”

But there are some who think perhaps now is not the best time to go into recess?

“Look. Have aliens invaded? No? Well. Everything is going just fine. Let’s all get together and tell ourselves what a great job we’re doing, if you’re in the government. If you’re in the official opposition, what’s the point of being in parliament anyway? Whatever crazy idea the Tories have had since 2010 Labour goes along with it. Austerity? Check. Brexit? Check. More Brexit? Check check check. Pandemic forever? Sure, check, just pick about the edges. It’s completely baffling why the Tories continue to run the place ragged when the alternative agrees with them on all the biggest things.”

Perhaps that can be discussed at conference.
