VIOLENCE ERUPTS AT GLOBAL WARMING SUMMIT

3/12/2018

Comments

 
There was shock and dismay at the United Nations today, after a meeting to discuss the effects of global warming descended into recriminations, insults, and actual fisticuffs.   


Things started well enough with a presentation by Climatologist Tronald Dump, who claimed the predicted rise in global temperatures would not actually result in a human crisis of unparalleled misery.  "It'll be fine," Dump said; "totally fine.  I've seen some bad  warming, but this is totally not a problem.  Believe me.  I know.  It'll be fine.  So fine, I can't believe it."
However, Dump was shouted down by a group of angry central heating engineers, who claimed they would be put out of work if global warming was not tackled.  
Things took a turn for the worse when the stage was stormed by a mob of ice cube manufacturers wielding torches and pitchforks, shouting "We love Dump! We love Dump!"

Have you seen this man?
As a mass brawl broke out, Daily Thunk reporter Terry Watt spotted Tronald Dump leaving the stage, apparently sniggering and removing a fake moustache.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has been condemned by The United Federation of Planets after ramping up cyber-war tensions with the deployment of a battalion of Cybermen. 

Speaking from a bunker on the mining ship Red Dwarf, rebel alliance leader Terry Watt explained: 
"So terrifying are Putin's plans that we have had to use the Timestone to peer into the future and see the outcome.  This has left us with no option but to request the crew of escape pod Firefly send one of their Terminator cyborgs back in time to prevent the birth of Putin by chasing his mother around the base in which she is building an army of Sentinels!  We can only pray they succeed."

RELIEF 'SHORT LIVED' AFTER POLITICIANS 'BACK TO SCHOOL' PLANS BACKFIRE

25/9/2018

Picture
Earlier this month, grown-ups across the UK breathed a sigh of relief as the nation's politicians went back to school.  However, in a shocking twist, that relief has proven to be short lived!  

Speaking to a hushed gathering of the world's media, the Commons Head Of Political Persons Education and Respect, Terry Watt, explained:


Worrying news has emerged from Toffs Preparatory High School for Young Ladies, where Theresa May has been sent back to Westminster because her skirt was 'too short and clingy', and at the same school, Jeremy Hunt has been cautioned by police after selling crystal meth in the sixth form common rooms.  
Meanwhile, at Great Greyhope Comprehensive School, Jeremy Corbyn has been excluded after pushing over a minority Tory kid in the dinner queue.  
There is serious concern that if more MPs are sent home from school, they could inflict yet another term of Brexit bullshit on the rest of us. 
Families are advised to stay close to their loved ones during this difficult time.

SAINSBURYS - ASDA MERGER ON ROCKS IN WAKE OF MORRISONS 'SNAPPENING'

19/9/2018

Comments

 
The stock market was plunged into chaos today, as 50% was wiped off the share value of both Sainsburys and Asda. 
Picture
The cause seems to have been rooted in William Morrison's secret plan to put the Morrisons chain of supermarkets back on top the British retailing pile. 

Our retail guru Terry Watt explains...


"William Morrison has refusing to accept the failing performance of his beloved Morrisons chain of stores.  When he heard about the proposed merger between Asda and Sainsburys, he was so furious that he slaughtered his adopted daughter Gamora."  Watt continued his explanation... 


"After the tragedy Morrison set about gathering six so-called Infinity Gondolas for his Infinity Market Street project.  With the project complete, he simply snapped his fingers, signalling his marketing team to produce a series of TV adverts, and ensuring Morrisons recouped 50% of all UK supermarket trade."  
In the wake of the Snappening, Asda CEO Roger Burnley was seen holding on to his Sainsbury's counterpart Mike coupe, moaning, "I don't feel so good."  Coupe has a haunted look in his eyes as he replied, "We're... We're not in the money!"

Theresa May has invoked the controversial Sokovia Accords in an attempt to heal the Brexit rift in the Tory party. 

However, in a shock development, it looks as though the move will backfire, with several of May's cabinet reportedly 'at each other's throats'. 
PictureTony "Ned" Stark
Brexit secretary Tony 'Ned' Stark is said to be vocally in favour of the Sokovia Accords, which would enforce unity over Brexit by requiring all Tory MPs to sign up to an agreement, or be forced to reveal their secret identities.

However, Minister for Liberty Steve Rogers has insisted the party should work this out willingly, rather than be forced into an agreement. 

PicturePunches were thrown in Parliament
Tempers boiled over in the commons yesterday, as Stark and Rogers confronted each other in a heated commons kerfuffle.  Stark used his repulsor rays to knock seven types of crap out of Rogers, before the Liberty Minister pulled out his vibranium shield, and walloped Stark in the chest, seriously damaging his pacemaker.

BORIS JOHNSON ARRESTED ON TERRORISM CHARGES AFTER SUICIDE VEST SHOCKER

9/9/2018

Comments

 
Picture
Former Secretary for International Diplomacy, Boris Johnson, has sensationally been arrested by the Anti-Terrorism Squad for conspiracy to carry out an act of terrorism.  

Head of Media Exploitation Terry Watt explains:
Our counter-intelligence department have had Mr Johnson under surveillance ever since his dramatic rescue from Afghanistan.  Not a lot of people know this, but Boris had been part of a crack team tasked with a search and destroy mission against terrorist insurgents in Afghanistan.  
Boris was captured by ISIS, and evidence led us to believe that he was dead.  However, after five years in captivity, he was liberated, and repatriated to the UK.  
Due to the peculiar behaviour displayed by Boris after his repatriation, we began to suspect that he had actually been turned by ISIS, and now represented a genuine terrorist threat to our nation.  
This suspicion was validated when Boris was discovered at Theresa May's weekend barbecue, wearing a fake suicide bomb vest, purchased from a well-known online retailer.  
Boris was apprehended by anti-terror agents, and has been taken to a secure location to be waterboarded, and brainwashed into becoming a harmless media buffoon hosting comedy chat shows.

Speaking to a hushed gathering of the world's media, Ronan explained the change in domestic policy:
"Overpopulation is set to bring about the destruction of our nation!  For this reason, not only have we legalised gay sex, but we are actively encouraging it with a range of incentives, in order to bring down the birthrate, and over time, the population of India."    
Ronan the Accuser, who has previously championed Kree rights in the face of Skrull persecution, added, "My concern is that we take control of our own population issues before any malign alien power decides to wield a gauntlet of violence against us." 
Many of the world's political leaders had attended the announcement, however, notable by his absence was Malaysia's Chief Justice Richard Malanjum.  His personal "aide" Terry Watt explained the Chief Justice's absence: "He was feeling a bit rough this morning, as he'd really been caning it for the last few days."

GOVERNMENT TO BAN SALE OF FRUIT AND VEG TO WORKING CLASS

30/8/2018

Comments

 
Picture
Prime Minister Theresa May today outlined her plans for a healthier Britain. 

​


Picture
Speaking to a hushed gathering of the world's media, May explained her controversial decision to ban the sale of fruit and veg to working class "people"...

"It is paramount," she said, "that we protect the environment for future generations of middle class and wealthy children.  If we are to move away from the use of fossil fuels, we must turn over more of our farmland to the production of bio-fuels.  This will lead to a drop in the production of fruit and vegetables, which through simple supply and demand, will increase significantly in price,  I want to prevent the shame that working class people will feel when they can't afford these luxuries.  Therefore, we will make it illegal for any working class person to buy fruit or vegetables.  
Picture
However, I must make it clear that we will offset this by removing VAT from energy drinks, cider and crisps.  We're not totally heartless bastards."

Foreman, who describes Lesnar as a 'pussy' has said he's going to 'teach that sonofabitch upstart a lesson'.













The two squared up in a pre-fight press shindig at Madison Square Garden, but before they could get into talking trash with each other, Paul Chuckle jumped into the ring and twatted them both with a chair, saying he'd take them both in a cage match to avenge his late brother's humiliation at last year's 'Sing in the Ring' karaoke massacre.




The Chuckles, in happier times.












Former Liverpool FC star, and WWE supremo Steve McManaman managed to break up the melee, and insisted all the fans would get to see all the action on the upcoming pay per view event, to be held in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
