LCD Views’ embedded reporter at Downing Street reports back from the bunker that Theresa May is resisting calls for an enquiry into who said “No deal is better than a bad deal” just so, so many times last year.
“They have more pressing priorities,” Arma Geddon said over a scratchy line, “I’m not sure how long I’ll have reception. Right now the prime minister is going so far down for cover it’s likely all reception will cut out.”
No deal is better than a bad deal. A catchphrase someone used just so, so many times prior to the June 8th 2017 general election has been shown today to be something only a catastrophic arsehat would ever had said, on the back of leaked economic forecasts showing that a no deal scenario would pretty much end all life in the United Kingdom outside of London.
“The important thing is that there will still be cake to eat in the Westminster tea rooms regardless of whatever happens in the badlands,” Arma Geddon said, over a line that was breaking up so bad we had to fill in the blanks.
Regardless of Downing Street’s understandable focus on more pressing matters, such as convincing the automotive industry not to say it’s going to up sticks and leave before Brexit Day, it’s likely calls will continue to be issued for a public inquiry.
An inquiry into what fumbling, terrified, clueless, cynical, frightened cat of a public official could ever have spent months trying to sell such an obvious con of a phrase to the voting public.
Now that the economic forecasts have come out that state it would determinedly grind the economies of most of the United Kingdom into the dust over years of desperation, rage and fear…and ironically, mass emigration away from Britain.
“I’m sure they’ll get to the bottom of underqualifed fool said it,” Arma Geddon said, just before contact was lost, “although probably not in the emergency toilet that the prime minister is currently seeking the sanctuary of, just above the earth’s mantle.”
We hope they’ve taken enough paper down. It could be a long night.
