The revised edition of the David Davis MP actionman doll now comes with a handy “caution : splinters” warning inside the packet.

”It’s to limit the risk of litigation should any potatriots actually attempt to play with David Davis,” Toy Designer R Murdoch told LCD Views.

An earlier release of the award winning actionman toy had to be withdrawn from sale after overstretched a&e departments in strong Leave voting areas became stuffed to the gills with middle aged men sucking their thumbs.

”The two short planks the dolls are manufactured from do splinter easily,” R Murdoch admitted, “although that makes them exceptionlly lifelike.”

The dolls, which come with little potatriotic flags and a keg of beer for Davis to drink, at least have an eye catching recommended retail price.

”An R.R.P. of £350M per week is a recognisable sum that people easily part with,” Murdoch continues, “sofa change for most. We wanted to ensure the Davis toys saturated the market so grown ups eager for independence have something to play with while they wait to get their sovereignty back.”

An alternative design of a house brick was dismissed due to the weight and cost of transport.

”Any shipment of David Davis MP actionman dolls stuck at a border crossing in Northern Ireland would just have chewed through too much petrol as they waited, motor running hard, to clear customs. Even as a preferred or preferential, or whatever lingo we may choose, trader,” Murdoch adds, “plus the added risk of petrol being siphoned out of the waiting trucks for post Brexit cocktails.”

Critics have seized on the dismissal of the brick design though saying “at least then we would have had something to build with.”

Housing minister Dominic Raving was soaking up the plaudits today after pointing out that “Brexit will seamlessly solve the UK’s chronic housing crisis by leading to a boom in youth and job exports to the countries of the EU27”.

“Imagine being that newly retired couple, or widow, widower, or someone on our second, third or fourth marriage, or even a confirmed singleton who doesn’t want to get to grips with Tinder,” Mr Raving went on, “waiting for your only child to come home from Frankfurt, Brussels, Dublin, Paris, Berlin or even Prague, for Christmas and then receiving a text message, after you’ve been waiting to collect them from a regional airport, telling you they’re staying abroad for an orphans’ Christmas with other ex-pats this year?”

The minister went on to explain that this exciting possibility is multiplied by the many millions by Brexit.

”Once your government, with the support of our Lexit colleagues, succeeds in crashing the United Kingdom out of the EU, without a transition actually being agreed due to Ms Foster’s likely insistence on a hard border, then just think of the exciting future for young British graduates following their dream of moving across the English Channel, chasing the job that would otherwise have been closer to home.”

Yes minister, we can visualise it.

”It’s going to make my job much easier,” Dominic continued, “you don’t have to build houses if the young are jumping ship in order to have a bright future.

Anyone who remembers the “£10 poms” of the last great period of British economic hardship can explain the mixture of anxiety and excitement involved in deciding you’d be better off starting out somewhere new.”

And there was another side benefit that Mr Raving believes deserves more attention.

”Fed up with waiting for your children to bring the grandchildren back to Brexitiannia for a visit, you can get on a boat and go and see them,” he added, “as any of the countries they’ve gone to are likely to still have a well funded health service, you can take it for granted you’ll actually get treatment if you fall ill while abroad, albeit with the likely complication of no longer being part of EU wide reciprocal health programmes.”

I feel old just thinking about it. I can’t wait. Brexit will solve the housing crisis by alleviating the need for housing.

”Over time.”

Yes. Over time. Something worth waiting for is often worth waiting for.

”Like a British GP appointment, even before Brexit.”

Quite.

David Davis MP is setting himself up to stun everyone today with an announcement he has solved the Irish Border problem, with the discovery of an already tried and tested seamless border technology.

”All this time we’ve been searching Wikipedia to find a solution to the Irish Border problem, one which doesn’t involve infrastructure at the border and endanger the peace process,” Davis told fellow revellers at the subsidised Commons bar late last night, “and the answer was right there in the pioneering work of Rodenberry and Shatner in the 1960’s.”

It’s believed the solution is a platform from which multiple parties can ‘beam’ to any location on the planet.

”You simply stand on your assigned spot and a technician engages the ‘transporter’ which beams you to a pre-determined location, often without anyone noticing,” Davis enthused, “it’s going to save me time negotiating with Barnier too. Rather than pacing back and forth in a Eurostar train carriage when I now and then decide to make a brief appearance at negotiations, I can just beam right in and out. It will be like I was not really there.”

The only problem now seems to be agreeing a license for the transporters.

”That won’t be difficult, no matter how much it costs, with all the money we’ve already saved just by beginning the Brexit process.”

Final details are yet to be worked out, but Mr Davis envisions a transporter base will be built in time “in Belfast, miles from the border with the Republic. Put another platform in Dublin, say beam me over and hey presto! Conceivably the actual Irish Border can be bristling with customs posts after Brexit and no one will notice.”

Davis adds Theresa May will shortly be seeking approval from her boss Arlene Foster to get the go ahead to spend the money and make it so.

”Just so long as Sinn Fein don’t stick their oar in I can’t see anything but an easy implementation of this imaginative border solution,” Davis said blithely, “lately they’ve been meddling in Irish politics, which is not on, as that’s the job of experts at Downing Street.”

LCD Views is thrilled to announce that the planners of the much anticipated Brexit museum have said it will be just a giant bucket of sand you can stick your whole head into.

”It’s to make visiting the museum a truly interactive experience,” Mr F Acist, organiser, told LCD Views, “just in case anyone does visit and they don’t already have their head firmly wedged in the sand, a bucket of sick or their bum hole.”

Questions have been raised about the proposed entry fee.

”I don’t know what all the fuss is about,” Mr F Acist said, “£200 million for a weekly pass will be chicken feed once inflation post Brexit really kicks in.”

Other exhibits will be the billboard Nigel Farage stood in front of, the quaint one evocative of Nazi propaganda from WW2, that Mr Farage launched the day Jo Cox MP was butchered by a far right terrorist. And which didn’t wake the majority of the voting public up to how horrifying and degraded Brexit is.

A complete list of all the broken promises and lies of the Leave EU campaign.

A detailed examination of the micro targeting of susceptible voters to help rig the referendum result.

The risk to peace in Northern Ireland by the bull in a china shop attitude of the U.K. Brexit MPs and how Star Trek transporter technology is being used as inspiration to solve the border issue.

”Not all of those exhibits are finalised,” Mr F Acist advised, “some are too truthful. But I am pleased to say there will be recordings of Nigel singing Hitler youth songs available on cassette tape in the gift shop. This is so people properly understand what sits inside Brexit.”

Other questions have been asked, such as why the museum will be located on Panama.

”Tax havens are close to the Brexiter’s heart.”

Asked for comment on the Brexit Museum a Labour spokesperson said, “that will at least be one or two jobs created by Brexit, to balance out all the ones lost. This is the will of the people. What do you expect Jezza to do about it? Except stand alongside Boris, May, Davis, Farage, Hoey and the rest of the long list of proven liars?”

Boris Johnson is expected to donate the big red bus to the museum, as the prize exhibit, and to cut the ribbon on the day the museum opens, unless of course, he’s on the run or in jail.

And will there be instructions on how to get the best out of the bucket of sand experience?

”Yes. It’s very Brexit,” Mr F Acist replied, “people will be instructed to put their head in the bucket three times and pull it out twice.”

The Vote Leave crowd were thrown into turmoil last night after it was revealed to them that their adopted term “Brexiteers” is not British in its origins.

This sect of the public have styled themselves thus in the hope of sounding like swashbuckling heroes The Three Musketeers, in complete ignorance of the fact that the book and characters are all French.

Literary historian Ivor Redditt told the assembled press:

“The facts are indisputable and easy to verify. The Three Musketeers was first written by a Frenchman, Alexandre Dumas, in French, in 1844 and serialised in a French newspaper, Le Siecle. It wasn’t until 1846 that the English translation first appeared.”

Passionate EU hater Ray Cyst had this to say when the bombshell hit:

“It’s just not right. We can’t be named after some Frogs! It’s just not on, we’ve got to have a proper British name!”

As indeed they do, as there are several choice words of basic, and equally British, Anglo-Saxon that are very accurate in describing him and his allies.

In any event, the entire crowd agreed with Mr Cyst’s statement, and then spent the next hour trying to come up with a new name. Nothing was forthcoming – not one of the hundreds of people gathered could think of anything.

However, help may be at hand, as Professor Will Nameham, an expert in nomenclature and etymology, has made the following suggestion for their new moniker:

“Perhaps in the future they could call themselves Brexitarian. The name is reminiscent of two other terms, both of which represent groups of people who, like themselves believe that they are doing what they are doing out of a strong sense of principles, the logic of which does not stand up to closer inspection.” I say Brexiteers, you say Brexitarians…

Brexitarians will presumably eat Brexit, or maybe they will just eat their words. Always assuming they have the stomach for it.
