The BBC has taken right and proper action this morning by placing an unnamed employee on “gardening leave” after they attempted to subvert democracy by explaining that Angela Merkel is not the ruler of the EU.
They compounded their treason by shouting “the EU isn’t a superstate you clowns!” as security guards removed them from the Today programme studio this morning.
John Humohrys, who began his career in journalism reporting for LCD Views from Brussels, and will likely end his career doing the same, phoned up to tell us of the nightmare only averted by swift action.
“I can tell you we’re all pretty shook up,” he related, and then did an Elvis impersonation for a few minutes.
He returned to the attack on the people a few minutes later.
“A very long time ago, in a galaxy that now seems far away, we decided to outsource the majority of our political journalism to repeating government talking points on Brexit and to dumbing down the matter as much as possible to compete with the tabloids.”
He went on to explain that clearly,
“What happens with Angela Merkel in Germany is the most pressing factor in whether or not the EU superstate accept whatever hypothetical sum the idiots in government decide to offer, with strings attached, by way of furthering Brexit negotiations to the point where most major sectors of the economy depart Britain for the EU and the UK government gets to try and turn the country into a tax haven to make the backers of Brexit happy.”
Quite why the anonymous employee attempted to introduce some fact into a discussion that was predetermined to be largely nonsense is anyone’s guess.
“They may have picked up a subversive foreign muckraker that mentioned the trifling matter of Ireland and the border with NI? But that’s just a guess.”
