LCD Views has conducted a snap poll of everyone in the United Kingdom today to see what people expect to come out next from the daily unfolding of ‘irregularities’ in the vote for Brexit.

“Ballot box stuffing by Brexiters was the top expectation,” Green Searchlight told an eager editorial meeting,

“far and away the top. Now that the Cambridge Analytica story has exposed the illegalities and overspending by the Brexit campaign.

Putin personally emailing May to instruct her to say ‘Brexit means Brexit’ is number two. He also fed her ‘red, white and blue Brexit’ as they’re his colours too. He stopped after ‘strong and stable’. This is because his catchphrases seem to work better at home. He’s now just supporting Rees-mogg with his bikini girl bot farms and laughing as we slide over the cliff edge.

A distant third is Boris Johnson denying he also slept with Stormy Daniels, although according to political analysts that’s actually the most likely revelation next.”

But surely Brexiters don’t expect to have to ignore further, damning evidence that they’ve been had by a bunch of conmen and charlatans into giving up decades of accrued rights, all in exchange for fattening up the tax havens?

“Brexiters expect it too,” Green explained, “they just don’t give a shit.

Anyone who is still backing Brexit now, after all the broken promises, the reality crushing nature of trying to make a gain from leaving the world’s largest trading bloc and then negotiating against it, the likelihood of destabilising the young peace in Northern Ireland and all the rest, well, they can’t exactly be accused of still supporting Leave out of a reasoned position.”

Blind faith?

“It’ll see you through. Well, until the crushing defeat at the end. But at least you’ll die with a blue passport clutched in your cold, dead hand.”

How is the government expected to respond when the evidence of old fashioned ballot box stuffing emerges?

“Theresa May has been practising for the moment. She knows it’s coming.”

What’s she going to do?

“She’s going to say that she is delivering on the will of the British people, who voted on the 23rd June 2016 to leave the European Union. She’s then going to declare war on Spain.”

She’s what?

“She’ll do what she needs to do to see Brexit through. Anything short of crashing out of the European Union will be a betrayal of the avoidance of taxation for eyewateringly wealthy people that her party is committed to.”

For the many, not the few. When it’s time to vote again, what will you do?

Doctor Hannibal Lectre has spoken exclusively to LCD Views today to tell us he is “confident of remaining Downing Street doctor, as Theresa May doesn’t fire anyone no matter how serious the charge.”

The Doctor has good reason to be confident of keeping his position when you consider the scandals and lying that have enveloped May’s cabinet.

”I admit that Ms Patel was forced to resign for attempting to funnel British taxpayer’s money to a foreign military, but that was only because Ms May doesn’t like her on a personal level. The actual wrongdoing wouldn’t have been sufficient otherwise. And she still got to resign, which means she can come back when it’s perceived she maybe an electoral asset.”

The Doctor went on to list several well known names and the charges against them, and Ms May’s inability to fire them.

”Boris Johnson? An incompetent clown who systematically alienates people he is supposed to befriend. A prime minister with any backbone would have fired him multiple times. I personally wouldn’t cannibalise him. Too much fat. Not enough meat. And that’s just in the brain.”

Liam Fox, a man who hides friends behind curtains.

”David Davis. Caught lying to parliament and no action. This is because his job is to lie to parliament. His liver is Swiss cheese by the way, you’re welcome to it.”

Jeremy Hunt? Dismantling the health service piece by piece as instructed to do.

The Doctor says he would make a good soup.

”Chris Grayling? I wouldn’t even fatten my hogs on him.”

But surely the Doctor’s own crimes are so bad as to warrant at least demotion?

”Did I systematically lie to an entire country in order to put it on the slab to be cannibalised by tax havens? That’s what the good Mr Johnson and Michael Gove have done. By the way, if you see Michael please warn me, he’s the only man alive who scares me.”

Boris Johnson was found in an upbeat and reinvigorated mood this morning as he took to the streets of north London to cause traffic jams, while lumbering about in a manner which vaguely brings to mind a man jogging.

We sent a correspondent along to slow walk beside him and ask what’s changed?

Has he succeeded in getting the undertaker Phil to open the chequebook and get Nazanin home?

”Pah!” the United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary puffed back, “who is that again? Anyway, the half a billion quid is going into the pocket of some continental chaps to pay for blue freedom passports, which symbolise the loss of freedom of movement to British youth.”

What has caused this outbreak of good cheer then?

Russia agreed to pull another stunt so your government and the official opposition has a new dead cat to throw on the table for weeks?

”We need one! The toxic shock tabby has broken into its constituent components. Wibble! Mind the pot hole! Wobble!”

Our correspondent took care to avoid the holes being made in the bitumen by Johnson’s massive hooves.

Thanks for the warning. These roads are in a shocking state.

So what’s put the fire in your engine?

”JCB, those brave stalwarts of Leave, have agreed to be the official sponsor of my new campaign! Hotwot! Tot for tot!”

Bullshitting for Britain?

”That’s the tiger! Got it by the tail now! Nick of time too. This Cambridge Analytica business and the alleged illegal spending and collusion by the Leave campaign is going to take a mountain of bullshit to conceal!”

Yes, sometimes an ordinary shovel isn’t enough.

“You just watch me dig once I’m in the cab of that yellow terror! BeLeave me!”

We’ve been watching you dig for years now Foreign Secretary.

”It’s a hoot! I’ll be breaking through to China any day now!”

Or hitting rock bottom…we’ll soon see.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LCD Views has an exclusive interview to print, broadcast and give away from the back of lorries today like some rag called The Metro.

”Will, of the people, has moved to distance himself from the people after the Cambridge Analytica revelations,” Rosie Searchlight explains,

“it’s highly probable the people will have something bad to say about Will, so we thought we’d let him get in first before he hears what they say.”

So it’s not a rebuttal?

”Of course it’s a rebuttal, Will has been spying, data mining, going through the trash of and eavesdropping on the people for years now, it’s not like he needs to hear what they’re going to say to rebut what they’ll say.”

Actually that makes sense.

So when are we printing the interview?

“He said he’d drop it over after he finishes shredding every bit of paper in his office and home, car and second cousins house. And burning all his computer servers.”

But don’t you need to look like you’ve interviewed him?

”Of course not. I agreed to allow an app called ‘Kittens! Kittens! More kittens!’ access to my Facebook profile back in 2010. Will knows everything I fear. He’ll know what I want to hear.”

It sounds like you’ll be leaving us for a job on Newsnight or one of the BBC Radio 4 flagship political spots soon.

“Oo! Do you think so? I’ll ask Will what the producers at the Beeb are thinking about me when he drops by.”

But doesn’t the data mining scandal put another set of concrete shoes on the feet of Brexit? We all know Will of the people is overwhelmingly in support of getting our sovereignty back.

”Not if Will can burn all the evidence first. And besides, thanks to Will’s legitimate work analysing the personal preferences, likes and dreads of the people supporting Brexit, he’s got them in emotionally. They will cling on stubbornly to stop other emotions taking over.”

Other emotions like what?

”The sense of being completely and utter conned, lied to by elected representatives and generally made a total ass.”

It sounds like the people need to distance themselves from Will too.

What emotion will this realisation of a con and stitch up presented as democracy cause?

”Embarrassment. Shame. Self loathing. Anger and probably self-pity. I can’t be certain how the duped people will react. Some will just tune out in response. Others may switch and work to take down the lying bastards who’ve tried to strip away their democracy though. Hopefully enough to make a change. Welcome those people.”

I know who will can ask, to find out who will do what.

”Yes. Will, he knows already.”

What about the gutless politicians who have gone with the “will of the people”?

”You mean like Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn and others?”

Yes.

”If they’ve half a brain they’ll see this as a get out of jail card.”

Theresa May was in fighting form today after the last breakthrough round of poker against the EU in the Brexit negotiations.

”I and my party maybe gambling the shirts off everyone’s backs and losing them in poker with the EU, due to only havig a pair of twos versus their full house, she began, chest pumped like her heels outside Downing Street,

“But we promise you we will make a success of Brexit solitaire, just as soon as it is certain no one from Europe wants to play with us anymore.”

But critics have leapt at the Prime Minister for the telling qualification.

”Forget the European Union, they’re a failing superstate, they’ll be gone in ten years. I’m damn sure the USA will want to play defence budget snap or farm animals or dangerous chemicals with us after Brexit,” A Disaster-capitalist MP said,

“and with the amount of dosh I’ve ‘invested’ in tax havens I’m going to hold the PM’s feet to the fire to make sure they get the chance. Especially if it’s NHS Baker’s Dozen GP surgeries in the offing.”

But not all MPs were so forward looking, some still believe that one more round of poker with the EU will see the U.K. triumph.

”Theresa May hasn’t laid a single of our cards out on the table yet,” E Jit MP said, “she’s holding all back in reserve and luring the EU deeper and deeper in before she makes her power play.

She’s got a perfect poker face. She’s only conceding everything each round and rubbing out all her red lines so they get over confident.

We’re all in this game whether we like it or not now. And so what if we lose the shirts off our backs? As parliamentarians the taxpayer will foot the bill for new ones! It’s a hoot!”

The ante keeps rising. It’s a good thing the leaders of both parties have the requisite devil may care, let’s gamble the lot on a bluff attitude to the game.
