Home Office releases list of banned french things

The Home Office was in chaste mood today as it released a list of activities that are now banned on patriotic grounds to help make a success of Brexit.

“Number one, french kissing is over,” Amber Rudd, Home Office Secretary, told LCD Views’ Dating Advice columnist, “french breadsticks are going too, as  one often leads to the other.  Sourdough will do well enough for honest British snoggers hereafter.”

But the addition of french letters to the list of proscribed activities and items caused criticism that the Home Office had not thought things through.

“Of course we have,” Ms Rudd replied primly, “we going to need a baby boom to replace all those foreign workers that are going home and taking their newly illegal activities with them.

French letters are almost certainly a French plot to undermine the great British birth rate. It’s much simpler just to ban them instead of having inspectors going around the country piercing each one individually with a pin. Even though that adds an element of surprise to unexpecting parents.”

But how does the Home Office expect to police the banning of french kissing?

“Easy. We’re going to surveil you. After Brexit you will have to apply for an “intimacy permit”. If you are successful you will be supervised during the times supervised for close contact. Some have called this a needless job creation scheme, but I refute that. We’ve already made enough civil service jobs just trying to find something sensible for David Davis to say.”

LCD Views welcomes all measures taken to encourage a greater sense of national identity for proper Brits, but we think banning french kissing is perhaps a step too far. It would have been more sensible to just retitle it as British kissing and be done with it.

“You know someone once suggested to me if we just asked the EU27 to rename the ECJ as the BCJ we could have saved ourselves a hell of a lot of expense and effort. But it’s too late now. The people had a vote.”

A new slogan is expected to accompany the campaign to raise public awareness of the ban on french kissing and letters.

“No tongues please, we’re British,” Ms Rudd nodded soberly, “that ought to do it. And if it doesn’t we’re going to have G4S detain you.”

Labour celebrates win over Labour and says it’s a taste of the victories to follow

The Labour Party was in a celebra-tory mood last night following a headline catching win for Labour over Labour.

”It’s a taste of the victories to come,” A Sect, spokesman for the victorious Labour Party said, “we’ve shown over confident Labour it can be beaten, not only by the worst Tory government for generations thanks to our refusal to fight Nigel Farage’s vision for the United Kingdom, but also by Labour.”

The win was welcomed by their neocon stooge Brexit colleagues at Westminster.

”I’d like to personally thank Jeremy Corbyn for his timing of the win for Labour,” All The Conservative Party said, “people are starting to push to expose our possible and probable links to Cambridge Analytica. Labour’s win over Labour couldn’t have come at a better time. It buys us more time to shred stuff, burn things and invent a convincing message for how CA and Brexit campaigns are in no way linked.”

But it wasn’t all celebration. Labour’s Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer was found in a thoughtful mood.

”You know last Tuesday?” he asked LCD Views, “of course you do. You couldn’t be here if you didn’t.

Last Tuesday was the first day for as long as I can remember when Momentum activists didn’t tweet and retweet and email and pm ‘yellow Tory blairite shill’ at me. I was pretty upset. I’ve got some Stockholm Syndrome going on nowadays. But thankfully it’s going to be okay.

The old inbox is piling up with people this morning warning me not mistake the clear warning Owen’s fate holds for all Labour MPs about wrong thought on Brexit or anything else. So that’s nice.”

Surprisingly too Vladimir Putin commented on Labour’s win over Labour.

”I’m just glad Corbyn didn’t go all Owen Smith at me over the Skripal business. I didn’t realise at the time how lucky I was.”

This story will presumably unfold further over the next few days, but we’ll give A Sect the last word.

”We’ve replaced the broadchurch with a narrow chapel. You’re welcome to come inside, but you probably won’t be allowed to stay if you can’t think right.”

Excellent. The party’s electoral appeal must have changed noticeably in the last 24 hours. Keep up the good work.

EU agrees guidelines for telling UK exactly what to do in the next stage of Brexit

The British political establishment was in a celebratory mood today, ably assisted by interesting interpretations on BBC Radio4 PM programme, as the EU announced it had agreed the guidelines for telling the United Kingdom exactly what it will do in the next stage of Brexit.

“Theresa May is bloody relieved I can tell you,” Downing Street insider Ms Getme Outnow told LCD Views, “she’s been fretting like mad that they’d keep her waiting till Monday and she’s just lost without EU setting out nice, easy to follow instructions for when and how she will concede and rub out her red lines. It’s nice to have a voice of sanity when you’re nominally in charge of an insane government.”

It’s believed the agreement on the guidelines will also give certainty to businesses of all sizes in the United Kingdom, anxious to know exactly when to strap on their parachutes as the UK’s combined political establishment hurl the country over the Dover cliffs.

“Let’s just hope no one brings up the Irish Border again,” Getme said, “because it’s bloody unsolvable. So we hope to take that little problem over the cliff with us.

That’s not to say the inheritance millionaires running England have an imperial mindset towards the Irish and couldn’t actually give a shit what happens over there.

They really do have a more compassionate state of mind. They anticipate the Irish buckling under and doing what they’re told by people like Rees-mogg. So it’s all going to be fine. Also, there is absolutely no threat to all the rights built up for the common man over the last several decades.”

It’s expected Ms May and her ministers will study the EU’s new do’s and don’ts for them going forward.

“I do hope their reading comprehension is better this time. The EU has essentially been saying the same thing for nearly two years, because they can, because they’re half a billion people almost and the most powerful trading bloc on earth. At least they’re staying polite. Which is more than we can say for Boris.”

Asked for comment on how Labour sees the latest development in the UK being lead like a confused and lost child to the end of its economy, a Labour spokesman said,

“Jobs first Brexit. Oh, and we’ve just sacked Owen for thought crime on Brexit.”

Jobs first Brexit continues to make about as much sense as Brexit means Brexit.

Home Office bans french kissing for Brexit

The Home Office was in chaste mood today as it released a list of activities that are now banned on patriotic grounds to help make a success of Brexit.

It’s subverting the will of the people to suggest the will of the people may have been subverted

“It’s subverting the will of the people to suggest the will of the people may have been subverted,” said Mr Con Jobb today, head of strategy for the Brexit focused charity F U EU.

Mr Con Jobb was talking after revelations broke in the media about the dealings of F U EU and a shadowy data mining company called Subvert Democracy.

”The dating app supplied to us from Subvert Democracy, and used by millions of facepamphlet users was an impressive and unseen way to harvest as much personal information as possible from as many emotionally vulnerable people as possible, to better manipulate voting intentions ahead of the EU referendum in 2016.”

But it’s said you broke data privacy laws in the process and may well have used the stolen data to unduly influence voters with emotional messages that had no relation to the facts of the matter being balloted?

”What’s your point?”

You’ve subverted democracy. It calls the validity of entire ballot into question.

”The people still had a vote. Just listen to any ageing male BBC political journalist. The people had a vote. They had a vote in America too. In many countries.”

So that’s okay then?

”It is if you’re a neocon sociopath intent on manufacturing a global economic disaster to deepen your political influence and get even richer.”

But you’ve subverted the will of the people.

”So?”

What do you mean so?

”You lost, get over it.”

Can you answer why it’s taken the Information Commissioner five days to get a warrant to search the headquarters of Subvert Democracy?

Is there any relation to the millions donated to the Conservative Party by the owners of Subvert Democracy?

”That sounds like a question better asked by the leader of the official opposition at PMQ’s.”

Fat chance of that.

”It’s useful, isn’t it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get back to the office. I’ve been told the Information Commissioner is due to drop by at 16:34 this afternoon and I’ve still some computer servers to burn in the car park.”

Thank you for your time.

”The people had a vote.”

Thats what they do, it’s called democracy.

”Not anymore. Would you mind ducking down to the petrol station and filling up this empty can for me?”

Farage on the run after smashing up Gutenberg press to protest blue passport procurement

Nigel Farage is the focus of a cross Europe police hunt this morning after smashing up the Gutenberg press to protest the decision by the Home Office to award manufacture of the patotriotic blue passport to a Franco-Dutch business, and not a British one with a French name.

”Europol issued the arrest warrant shortly after 5am for a man described as a human ashtray made from reptile skin, slippery, shadowless, hollow, deeply hypocritical and clutching a German passport in one hand and a hammer in the other,” LCD’s cultural Luddite correspondent reports.

CCTV footage shows the man swaying on the pavement outside of the museum in Gutenberg at 4am, shouting at passers by and demanding bags of money in either roubles or Euros, and also demanding to be shown the location of the nearest Belgian waitress.

”The hammer is believed to have been made in China,” our correspondent continues, “although it’s expected Mr Farage will write Sheffield on the expenses form.”

Questions why an elder statesmen of British political life would indulge in criminal behaviour and damage a priceless cultural and technological artefact from European history haven’t been asked.

”He was happy to stand in front of a billboard mirroring Nazi propaganda during the EUref campaign.

Her Majesty’s Government was happy to validate his agenda and make it our international policy, the leader of the official opposition has also aligned himself with all this by backing Brexit, so smashing up an invaluable tool for sharing knowledge is not exactly surprising.

More so, given the current policy foundations of Westminster decision making are predominantly ignorance and magical thinking, which is Brexit.”

But it’s bekeived Mr Farage’s protest will have one exciting outcome.

”It shows everyone, everywhere that Global Britain is not to be messed with. We’re going to lay out new rules for trade deals and people are going to sign up. If they don’t Nigel will pull a stunt and that’ll learn ‘em.”

LCD Views commends Nigel for his courage and we believe with this symbolic act of destruction he has rewritten European history, again.

First shipment of blue passports turned away at Dover for being metric

The new blue passports, which have been treacherously produced in the EU, will not be reaching these shores any time soon. Dover customs jobsworths have refused the first consignments because they are the wrong size.

It transpires that the new blue passports measure precisely 8cm by 12 cm. The specification stipulates that they should measure roughly 3 inches by 4 inches. Predictably, the tabloid press have seized upon this gaffe with great delight.

“Who wants a blEU passport?” squeals the Daily Mail. “We MUST take control of our passports NOW!” proclaims the Daily Express. Many items of calamitous bad news have been cheerfully buried in small print on page 73 as a result.

Cursory digging reveals that many of the now-useless decimal passports lack pages entirely. This is not a problem, as they are unlikely ever to be used, but they fail to communicate the vital illusion of global travel.

The ‘executive’ version of the passport does indeed contain pages. These pages are not made of the usual vellum, as this is too expensive. Instead, a parchment made from the skins of grateful unicorns has been used.

Including pages does increase costs, though. So corners have been cut to save costs. The passports will come without corners to get all dog-eared.

“This is a national scandal!” hooted passport expert Bergen Dee. “The incompetent EU cannot even get basic units of measurement correct. It is vital that we leave the EU as soon as possible, if not before that!”

Bergen Dee riffed about the use of Imperial measures being the first step towards reclaiming the Empire, before turning his ire on the EU again. “If you can’t even use a ruler properly, how on earth can you be taken seriously?” he shouted. “Britannia rules the waves!”

Don’t mention the fact that it would be much cheaper and simpler to retain EU passports. But that’s not Brexit. Britannia waives the rules.

I will not benefit personally from Brexit, says man carrying suitcase of used banknotes

Many conspiracy theories surround the motivation behind Brexit. Will we all get richer? Will we take back control of. well, everything? Just don’t mention the Irish border.

One man who believes he has the answers is Phil Yerboots. LCD’s Financial Mismanagement correspondent went to speak to him.

“Brexit is for the many, not the few,” claimed Yerboots, glancing shiftily about. “This suitcase stuffed with used banknotes in my hand is completely irrelevant. I don’t stand to gain in the least.”

So, will we all get richer? we asked him.

“Errr, well, um… yes of course!” he stammered. “Look, it’s happening already!” He indicated the suitcase, which was leaking a few tatty notes. Shabby passers-by picked them up in surprise. “The trickle-down effect in operation!” bragged Yerboots.

An exhausted man dragging a huge trunk came up behind Yerboots. “Hurry up, Baldrick!” snapped Yerboots. “All the trunks of used banknotes need to be on the Cayman Islands plane by six o’clock sharp. Look lively!”

Suddenly, the sound of Abba’s “Money Money Money” rang out. “I’ve got to take this,” said Yerboots, pulling out the offending mobile phone. “No, Dave, wait until the NHS has collapsed completely before buying any hospitals!” he barked. “But I want Regent Street, Oxford Street and Bond Street asap. Yes, with hotels. No, don’t take any Chances. You know the drill!”

So, how does this work, then, we asked.

“When I benefit, everybody benefits,” he explained, patiently. “Everybody has a share. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to supervise a fleet of lorries carrying gold bullion onto the cross-channel ferry.”

Is the gold going to France, then?

“Of course not,” Yerboots retorted. “The ferry belongs to the Syndicate, and will sail to my secret headquarters. What is good for Phil Yerboots is good for the country!”

Heads I win, tails you lose. Brexiters have monopolised Catch 22 situations. Fill your boots!

Brexit Dad helps British fisheries by taking his son angling by the canal

Brexit Dad Figel Narage is very upset about the future of fishing in UK waters. Feeling a responsibility to do something, he has taken a one-man stand. Narage is taking his son fishing by the local canal.

Narage’s protest stems from the concession of fisheries policy. The UK has gloriously taken back control by permitting the EU to dictate fisheries policy during the Brexit transition phase.

Narage’s near namesake, Nigel Farage, the face, voice and empty bank account of UKIP, has done his bit by attending as many as one out of 42 fisheries committee meetings.

Clearly, Farage’s valiant efforts have been in vain, so Brexit Dad is taking up his mantle. Armed with only a big stick with a string tied to it, and a butterfly net, Narage and son are Fishing For Britain.

“It’s my way of making a difference,” claimed Narage, from under a dripping umbrella. “The EU cannot impose quotas on British waterways! And there is no way I am chucking any back in, so there.”

Brexit Dad impaled another maggot on his home-made fish-hook and cast off hopefully. A partly-submerged shopping trolley and a solitary duck gazed back.

How much have you caught? we asked Figel junior, sitting sullenly in the drizzle.

He lifted the net. “Nothing,” he moaned. “We’ve been here hours. I’m dripping wet and freezing cold. I want to go home and play GTA 5, but Dad says I’ve got to stay.”

“Isn’t this great?” said Figel senior, ignoring his son. “I think we’re really bonding here. We will go home as soon as we have caught enough fish for tea.”

“I don’t even like fish!” wailed Figel junior.

The gifted British amateur is beating the so-called experts at their own game. We left Figel senior and junior to dissolve in the rain on principle.

Meanwhile, we heard a rumour that Mrs Narage, Krystyna, and her daughter Figella, were stuffing their faces at a friendly, European-owned Italian restaurant. But steering clear of the fish.

Fishy Thames stunt to be trumped by all of Commons micturating on the rights of 65M people on Westminster Green

The Houses of Commons has moved to get back on the front foot today after Nigel and Jacob’s fishy Thames stunt.

“We can trump that,” Iain Duncan Thick told LCD Views, “we’re currently arranging to micturate on the rights of 65M people plus.”

In what has been called “the great micturation bill”, more commonly known as the EU Withdrawal Stitch Up, Parliament will collectively tear up the right of everyone in the United Kingdom to travel, live, love, study and retire on the continent of Europe.

“We’ll make a serial chancer like Nigel throwing some dead fish into the Thames look like a cheap, unintentionally honest publicity stunt,” Iain Duncen Smith continued, “imagine the look on the face of a family when they borrow the money at ever rising interest rates to have a much needed break on the Costa del Sol, only to discover there are irregularities with their visa and they have to turn about and fly back home on the overpriced charter flight?”

This sounds like Global Britain will be a place people will notice.

”They will certainly point at us!” Irritable Duncen Shite agreed, “especially when a lorry bringing food relief from France breaks down leaving Dover and we all start eating our neighbour’s pets. Best to practice now looking honest when you say you haven’t seen Felix or Rex.”

But do you think all the MPs elected to use their best judgement can piss on the rights of 65M people at once?

”We may have to form an orderly queue and go one by one. Trench coats will be on hand for modest men and she-wee’s for the ladies. It’ll be a hoot, just like the ceremony after to start scrapping all that EU red tape.”

You mean legislation protecting people’s human rights, workplace rights, gender equality rights, safety standards, environmental protections and so forth?

”Yes. That’s what Brexit means. Make sure you wear a zippered fly for the ceremony. It’s going to be a celebration of the traditional values of disenfranchisement of lower orders for the enrichment of a few.”

Global Britain.
