Lexit is more important than the NHS official opposition spokesman confirms

LCD Views interviewed shadow minister for fence sitting, C Ynical, earlier today and he revealed that for the official opposition achieving Lexit is more important than the NHS.

“No one will suffer once we have a government led by a man whose initials are the same as a famous religious figure.

Although that in no way explains the sometimes kipper like love of denigration of opponents found in the social media posts of his worshippers. I mean, um, the membership of the party that belong to a militant, sectarian movement that has currently seized surface control of the party.”

They’re building a movement. Be patient. What’s the NHS or universal credit or looking like absolute asshats internationally compared to that?

“Lexit has been our long held goal since the 1970’s. You know the 1970’s? We had blue passports then. Blue passports will be the first tangible success of Lexit.”

When questioned if the official opposition shouldn’t oppose Brexit in order to tear a pack of reckless, greed driven, right wing idiots out of Downing Street, and by doing so, save the economy of tomorrow and the NHS, which media reports state is now so under resourced people are dying prematurely in corridors, the spokesman was adamant.

“Lexit is way more important. Jesus Christ comrade! You’re in danger of being first to the re-education camps with questions like that. I’m beginning to suspect you’re a class traitor Blairite. And we all know there is nothing, nothing worse than that.”

So it looks like the future for the NHS is pretty dicey.

The party that is busily running it down and privatising it is safe in government because the party that could tear them down wants them there to achieve Lexit.

Who’s to blame? Must be the centrists. Yeah. That’s who.

Farage declares Brexit undecided as no one else will give him a job

Professional tub thumper, crap stirrer and all round pile of human bile Nigel Farage has declared Brexit undecided as no one else will give him a job.

“I’ve been down the job centre most days since I won Brexit,” Mr Farage told a reluctant reporter from LCD, “But the computer keeps telling me I’m only qualified for far right rally organising. I don’t really like spending time in small meeting rooms in hotels off motorways.

Anyway, I’m not really a details guy. Organising a rally for fascist amnesiacs, even a small one, is too much admin for me.”

It seems the unemployment issue has come as a surprise to Mr Farage.

“I’ve allegedly been taking money from dubious foreign actors through a complex network of dark money channels.

Apparently that sort of thing counts against you.

I did ask my friend with the big gold lift if he could get me a job on Fox News.

But that was no go because Fox is now weary of sleazy ageing men with a history of infidelity and a reputation for trying to bang much younger women. Which doesn’t describe me at all.”

So left with nowhere else to turn to and increasingly concerned about how he will convince other people to pay him a salary for doing bugger all but stir up hate, Nigel has turned to what he knows best.

“If we can lose, and I’m not saying we can, but if we can lose a second Brexit referendum by a narrow margin, I’ll be in business till the cows come home. We’ll need a third then. Or a fourth, depending on how you count it.”

It’s rumoured he has also secured some cut price billboard space which can be used for vile posters mimicking Nazi propaganda, like he did first time around, so that’s nice too.

Back Nigel, preferably into a corner, it’s the democratic thing to do, and then go and vote. Again.

Jobs first Brexit where the jobs go first and then we Brexit

In a surprising display of candour for a modern politician a Labour Party Brexit spokesman has confirmed that Labour’s much trumpeted ‘jobs first Brexit is…’

“Where the jobs go first and then we Brexit. This is why we support a transition period between Brexit and Brexit.”

This is in stark contrast to the current Conservative Party Brexit, generally known as, smash it all to shit so wealthy backers with massive offshore wealth can asset strip the U.K. while simultaneously stripping away all the rights protected by membership of the European Union.

This is usually referred to by the snappier handle of ‘Brexit means Brexit’ or ‘A red, white and blue Brexit’.

“Labour wanted to differentiate itself from the Conservatives, as people are getting confused about all the votes we keep casting in the Commons to support whatever half baked casserole of nonsense Brexit the government puts to a ballot.”

The major dividing line between the two Brexits has not impressed experts.

Three year old, Sandy Sawyer, currently attending a childcare centre two days a week, summed it up like this,

“There is only Brexit and any idiot, who isn’t blinded by an irrational need to reinforce their deep seated personal insecurities, which manifest in an unwavering political tribalism no matter how irrational the actions of the party they have pinned their colours to the mast of, will tell you that.

There simply hasn’t been the time, planning or effort made to grasp the complexities to make a success of Brexit, which involves attempting to unravel ourselves over a long weekend from a relationship that is decades long.

Never mind the fact the roots of the project go back through the ghastly wars of the last century, but no Brexiter is capable of grasping that, or the existential importance of the EU to the rest of Europe.

This is why they just strut about talking cobblers and expect the continental countries to touch the forelock. Muppets.

I expected adults to be better at this. We’re dealing with the future of myself, my peers and my older cousins here.

This whole shambles is like watching my dad attempting to put together a sofa bed from IKEA without reference to the instructions because he thinks he’s gotta do it that way or he loses face.

But I better stop prattling on or I’ll get labelled a Centrist Child. Hand me the shovel please. I’ve got a head sized hole to dig in the sandpit.”

LCD Views own Brexit analyst is also unimpressed.

“Any Brexit is a jobs first Brexit. Just pay attention to the news. Jobs are going and very often now the people who used to do the job. That’s your jobs first Brexit. It’s actually an unintentionally accurate way to describe what we’re currently doing.

Now if you’ll excuse me, Sandy has stuck her head inside a hole in the sand to display a supporter of Brexit. I need to pull her out before she comes to harm.”

Following the success of Free Schools, Jeremy Hunt introduces Free Hospitals

The introduction of Free Schools has been a resounding success. Now the Health Secretary, Jeremy C. Hunt, has picked up the baton. He will introduce Free Hospitals as soon as is practicable.

Free Hospitals will be free of all the constraints that are destroying our failing NHS hospitals. Patients will be free to access health care at any facility they choose, and shop around for the best deals. Years of expensive, and frankly unnecessary, training for staff will not be needed, so that start-up costs will be kept to a minimum.

Freedom from government shackles means that health care will no longer be a drain on the public purse. Naturally, patients will be asked to contribute to the cost of treatment. Waiting rooms will incorporate financial assessment hubs, which will ensure that no overweight chavs wearing tracksuits will be able to progress to triage.

“If you can’t afford our surprisingly reasonable fees, we will, sadly, be obliged to harvest vital organs to pay for your treatment,” said Yoby Tongue, CEO of the McDonald’s Drive Thru Burger Bar and Free Hospital. Mr Tongue let slip that you could not enter the hospital via the McDonald’s, although all patients are discharged through the restaurant.

“In addition, to keep costs to a minimum, patients are requested to bring an anaesthetic of their choice,” continued Mr Tongue. “We do, unfortunately, have to charge corkage.”

Employment opportunities are opening up for those with transferable skills. “It’s a dream come true,” said Willie Cleaver at Virgin Free Hospital. “I used to chop up sausages on the butchery counter at Morrison’s. I have a remarkably similar job here!”

Other companies are jumping on the bandwagon. ATOS Free Hospital plans to treat all patients by declaring that they are in perfect health, then sending them back to work in record time.

Poundstretcher Free Hospital is a budget hospital. It offers deals such as “Buy one appendectomy, get one half price!”

Royal Mail Free Maternity Hospital offers a fixed price procedure, but cannot promise delivery by the due date.

What could possibly go wrong? After all, it’s hardly brain surgery.

Nigel Farage applies for EU funding to paint “BOG OFF WE’RE FULL” on the White Cliffs of Dover

The populist propaganda preacher Nigel Farage has decided to make his intentions quite clear. The cheery Brexit slogan “”Bog off, we’’re full”” is to be painted on the white cliffs of Dover. In letters fifty feet high. Using red paint. Farage himself has offered to carry out the work.

Farage is notoriously hard up, however. His measly income from the European parliament barely covers basic necessities, such as Tweed suits and vintage champagne. Therefore he has applied for EU finance to fund this vital work.

LCD’s Tilting At Windmills correspondent met Farage over draught bitter and cigars. ““The government wasn’t keen on painting a message on a national icon,”” said Farage, taking a deep swig of Olde English Dogsbollocks. “”So I volunteered to do it myself. It is symbolic of our great Brexit victory, perhaps even more so than the blue passport.””

It is clearly important to send the correct message to our European chums. “”This is a job that needs to be done, and it falls to yours truly to do it,”” Farage noted, sparking up. “”So I have ordered 500 gallons of bright red paint and a big ladder.””

There is a potential snag: the language barrier. “”That’s why the words will be fifty feet high,”” remarked Farage, patiently. ““It’s the written equivalent of shouting. It always works for me when I have to talk to bloody foreigners!””

And the beauty of it is that the EU will, hopefully, pay. “”Well, they bloody well ought to!”” exclaimed Farage. ““After all the favours we have done them, they should be only too willing to stump up a few quid to help out a poor Englishman! It’s their raison d’’être, to give me their money. It’s a quid pro quo.””

We spoke to the EU’’s Pointless Grants Office, but they just laughed at the suggestion. Poor Nigel may be maxing out his credit card after all.

David Davis insists that the EU pays for the wall he wants to build half way across the English channel

David Davis is expected to announce this key policy during the second phase of Brexit talks. Echoing Donald Trump’s pledge to build a border wall with Mexico, Davis now wants a wall along the British border with the EU.

“We will build this wall, and the EU will pay,” Davis claimed at a press conference earlier today. “It’s their fault entirely. We were quite happy to prop up their crumbling regime, until they started nagging us about bendy bananas and employment rights and other such trivia. They drove us away, so they have to pay!”

LCD’s Walking On Water correspondent asked how this would be achieved. “Simple, all you need is a willing team of brickies from Eastern Europe,” replied Davis. “They can build it on their way out.”

But, the English channel is made of water, our correspondent insisted. “The wall will float, like a castle in the air,” countered Davis. “It will be both strong and stable. That’s what Brexit is all about.”

What about shipping? “British ships will use the British side, and foreign ships will use the foreign side,” said Davis. “It’s that simple. There will be no need to actually cross the channel after we leave the EU for good.”

Further plans regarding the wall were revealed. On the British side, a mural of great wartime victories, Winston Churchill, the Queen and the Union Jack will be painted. This is designed to encourage any feeble-minded souls who erroneously think of leaving Britain. Naturally, the skips and the building rubble will be on the foreign side.

To celebrate the grand opening of the wall, the remaining members of Pink Floyd have been contacted, requesting that they reform to perform The Wall, their joyous celebration of Global Britain. This has been met with a unanimous silence. Fortunately, David Davis remarked “I have a cassette of The Wall at home somewhere, I’ll see if I can dig it out.”

Pink Floyd would have been frogmarched to the border and denied re-entry for treason, except for the fact that they are all far too rich.

We contacted the EU’s Construction Department to comment on Davis’ initiative. Much was lost in translation, but the gist was “good luck with that, mate.”

JC inaction man figure sales halted after he crosses shop floor to prop up May dolls

Manufacturers ordered an immediate halt to sales of Jeremy Corbyn inaction man figures today after the dolls crossed the toy store shop floor to prop up tottering Theresa May ones.

“We couldn’t believe it when we saw it,” shop floor assist Mo Mentum told LCD Views’ Living Dangerously correspondent,

“these aren’t supposed to be battery powered, just wind up ones that shuffle back and forth a bit singing the old Soviet national anthem.

We don’t know how they’re doing it. And we’re buggered if we know why, if we’re honest. Although I’ll personally be calling anyone who says anything critical of the dolls a Blairite.”

The manufacturers were already facing serious criticism for the fact that no fence was included with the JC dolls for people to sit him on.

“The little red book was there. A hammer. A sickle. A scythe. A manifesto commitment to renationalise the railways, something most people can agree on, even Chris Grayling when he’s honest, but no Brexit sitting fence.

People felt short changed, but they were reluctant to return the dolls out of a lingering sense of hope they don’t want crushed.”

Understandable.

But with the sudden awareness that the dolls are capable of supporting others expected to be arch enemies on ideological grounds, sales had to be halted while the makers worked out how to stop it happening.

“Imagine if this sort of thing were to happen in the House of Commons?

Say, regarding some controversial legislation that threatened to potentially reduce the rights of 65M+ people, create economic hardship and all there was to show for it was a blue booklet?

There would be riots if the official opposition didn’t use that moment to get a dangerous and divisive government out of office!”

It’s hoped sales of the dolls will recommence once a way is found to stop the JC dolls supporting the May ones.

“Have you seen the state of the Jeremy Hunt Hospital Play Set?

We can’t update those ones in any satisfactory way until we’ve cleared out the May dolls, but people won’t buy either while JC ones are found next to May dolls. It’s downright scary.”

Asked for comment a Labour Party spokesman replied,

“People are commiting class betrayal by claiming that whoever designed the latest version of the dolls, the more populist, less principled model, don’t know their arse from their elbows. They need to be quiet and get back in line.

 

Just leave the JC dolls to do what they like. After we seize power we’ll be nationalising toy production anyway and each Corbyn doll will come with a magic Brexit unicorn big enough for you to ride on.”

Plastic bag tax to rise from 5p to £1,000 a bag to pay for Brexit

Michael Gove took to the stage today in a sorry mood to announce the plastic bag tax will rise from 5p to £1,000 a bag by the end of the year in order to pay for Brexit.

“It’s the prime minister’s idea,” A despondent Mr Gove explained, “You understand it’s not my idea. As minister for merchandising the environment this charge falls under my remit, but it’s not my idea. I hope that is really clear. I still want to be prime minister one day.”

It’s thought the minor increase in the charge will be staged throughout 2018, as bad economic news related to Brexit lands in big, steaming chunks across the country.

“I’m doing everything I can to make it easier for shoppers,” Gove added, “It will not go up to a rio grande all at once. I’m going to raise it to £999.98 in May and then £999.99 in August. This way people will have time to adjust before it goes to £1,000 just before Christmas.”

Environmental activists have cautiously welcomed the increase in the tax, but expressed concerns that the extra money raised won’t be spent on environmental causes.

The treasury though was said to be less sanguine about the prime minister’s plan.

“Hammond fears the dramatic increase in value of plastic bags will lead to bags replacing the new plastic notes as currency. We spent a lot of time designing those nostril cutting notes. It would be a shame if it was wasted effort. Although I suppose, we could legislate for plastic bag manufacturers to print famous women’s faces on the bags, thus doing our bit for equality?”

At either rate, people will have to be careful, once the levy increases, not to tear or otherwise damage the bags while shopping.

“I wouldn’t use the plastic bags for shopping anymore, right now,” Michael Gove advised, quietly, “I’ll start storing them at home somewhere dry and safe. It’s likely, once we’ve finished with you, they’ll be the only valuable item you’ll be able to bequeath to your children.”

Hunt celebrates bossing his boss with hospital bed closing ceremony

Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Rhymes Hunt, was found in a celebratory mood this morning as he pulled the curtain closed on a hospital bed, in a ceremony celebrating keeping his job.

“I’m ecstatic!” He told the gathered NHS staff at a hospital in Brokenbed, Staffordshire, “I love nothing more than reducing the number of beds. It decreases costs for the NHS and increases costs in the vending machines in A&E departments.”

It’s believed the bed closing ceremony will be replicated across the country all week.

“It was actually really funny,” Jeremy told the staff, “that daft woman called me in to sack me and I told her ‘sit down Theresa, I’m not going anywhere, in fact, you’re giving me a fancier job title to boot’.”

It’s believed Mr Hunt had previously told Tory whips he would be happy with a demotion to the business portfolio.

“I told them sure, no problem, I want to spend more time with my family anyway.”

But it seems it was just a set up so he could boss the prime minister about and make her look ridiculous and weak.

“Gove, Boris and myself still hope the magic choosing hat will choose any one of us to be prime minister this year. But we have to keep undermining May until Boris can work out how to u turn on Brexit.”

The incumbent at business, a Mr Clarke, was said to be relieved at Hunt’s strategic cleverness, as he’s already operating at the top of his game in the less prominent ministry, and was terrified of public exposure.

Even though the bed closing ceremonies will go on all week, Hunt says the pressures of office preclude him from closing every bed personally.

“Sadly, I don’t have the time, but not to worry, I’ve outsourced the rest of the closures to a subsidiary of Virgin Health. I had to, otherwise they’d sue!”

Outrage over Home Office plans for burgundy ration books

LCD Views has learned of fury in the halls of Brexit today with the revelation that the Home Office has put out to tender the printing of burgundy ration books.

“It’s supposed to be another genius snub to the EU, which passed a law forcing all member states to produce burgundy passports in 1954, but it’s potentially an own goal by the government,” LCD’s Futures correspondent, N Ostradamus reveals, “for how much burgundy incenses Brexiters. And we’re all Brexiters now.”

The ration books are expected to be made by a Saudi Arabian company, in a tie-up cash for U.K. made bombs deal. This is a win win which is designed at diversifying our middle eastern friend’s economy, away from oil and into print.

“We’ve ordered eighty million of them,” N Ostradamus reveals, “more than the current official population of the U.K., but ask any hardline conservative and they’ll tell you for a fact there’s at least fifteen million illegals hiding in the shires. They won’t get ration books, but it’s worried the indigenous population may eat the books while queuing for bread. We’ll need spares.”

LCD Views suggests, if it’s not too late to change direction, that classic British blue would have been the more patriotic choice.

Labour have criticised the plan too.

“A jobs first Brexit will mean most of the able population tilling our nationalised farms and fields. There won’t be any need for rations. People can eat the fallen fruit in the fields as they turning over sods of soil.”

But we perceive the greater danger is the Saudi’s accidentally dropping crates of burgundy ration books on Yemenis after a potential mix up talking to Boris Johnson.

That’s no good.

We only recycle oil money properly when they drop British made bombs and we turn a blind eye. Well, unless they drop the bombs on a population that can perhaps make it to Europe as war refugees. Then it’s a front page Daily Mail issue that we can all shake our fists about.

Presumably some ration books will make it to British soil, so we suggest you order your blue ration book covers now to conceal the treasonous burgundy. They’d make great birthday and Christmas presents in advance of March 2019.

“They should just make the new blue passports dual use,” N Ostradamus recommends, “it’s not like anyone, except the wealthiest, will be able to afford a holiday after March 2019, and I can’t see Jacob Rees-mogg queuing for food, can you?”

No, he’ll send a servant instead, like all the people driving Brexit.
