Volcano eruptions grounds flights of fantasy |

Time to sharpen the satirical pens people! There are election campaigns to dissemble.
Good evening, here is the news.
The recent eruption of Eyefullabull has sent a plume of hot gas and vacuous effluvia high over the skies of Britain. The resultant cloud has grounded tens of thousands of floating voters and left them stranded in far flung corners of the electoral globe, unsure when ‘normal’ two hearse party politics will resume and desperate to get back to basics.
In the absence of flights of fantasy from BA (Broon Airways) or Easydebt (incorporating Air Cameron) plucky floaters are taking to Cross Party Ferries, TaxEase and even getting On Yer Bike in the hope of finding a way back to Middle England.
Many are questioning whether the Eyefullabull dust cloud is really as dangerous as they have been led to believe. They are demanding to be able to cast their votes on a wing and a prayer that either BA or Easydebt will convey them to a land of low tax and high public services and not drop them right in it.
In other news, the latest Youaregov’d poll revealed 99% of Labour MPs believe that you can fool some of the people all of the time and 100% of Conservative MPs believe that you can fool all of the people all of the time....

Liked this. Made me laugh, especially the 'Volcano' name.

we need more humour with the election acting as a massive depressant.
Sorry that I can't market a satirical pen, it would such a neat product. Satiro, the only pen that tells it like it is.
Thanks

I note we seem due to have a hung parliament. And about time. I have some trees available with branches at a handy height. | Reserve a branch

thank you kindly, nice to know that the cogniscenti of satire are reading the double endtendres and between the lines so assiduously.
Save a particularly stout branch for the fat cat city bankers!
