Momentum is a terrorist organisation and has WMDs, claims Blair

The left-wing Labour group Momentum is a terrorist organisation and is in possession of weapons of mass destruction, Tony Blair has claimed.

The disgraced former prime minister made the claim after a press conference in which he and Labour General Secretary Iain McNicol released an official list of forbidden words, along with a list of officially sanctioned alternative words and phrases.

Using any of the proscribed words  will disqualify Labour members from being able to vote in the leadership election.

Among the most important changes are:

‘Momentum’ must now only be referred to as ‘the entryist terror organisation Momentum’.

‘War criminal Tony Blair’ is to be replaced by ‘illustrious hero Tony Blair’.

‘Blairites’ can now only be called ‘Moderate left wing saviours of the middle classes and swing voters’.

Blairite Ben Bradshaw told Newscrasher:”As illustrious hero Tony Blair says, Momentum is a kind of terrorist organisation, possibly with WMDs ready to use in as little as 45 minutes, and should be banned immediately.”

“This would be a double-plus-good leap forward in our herculean quest to stop Labour from being in any way left-wing, or opposing the cruel austerity policies of the Tories with which I broadly agree.”

Note added in proof (30 Aug 2016): When we wrote this satirical story (4 Aug 2016), little did we know that Iain McNicol would cynically and undemocratically set about blocking Labour Party members and supporters from voting in the leadership election, using a very similar kind of language policing to what we imagine herein. One has to wonder, are the coup plotters in the PLP getting their ideas from satire sites like ours?

Southern Trains blame delays on Corbyn and benefit claimants

Jeremy Corbyn, benefit claimants and economic migrants from the EU are to blame for the massive delays on rail services, Southern Trains has claimed.

A spokesman for Southern Trains said: “Southern Trains is among the best performing rail companies in the world, providing third world punctuality at first world prices.”

“Unfortunately, circumstances beyond our control are increasingly causing long delays on some Southern Trains services, with left winger Jeremy Corbyn being among the main causes due to the threat from his frightening policies. Benefit claimants and economic migrants from elsewhere in the EU are also among the major causes.”

“But every cloud has its silver lining — our profits are up significantly compared to 2015, as are dividend payments and the bonus of our chief executive.”

Daily Express revealed as not actually a peer reviewed academic journal

The Daily Express is not actually a peer reviewed academic journal, researchers have found. The findings were published in a report by a team of 100 per cent racially British researchers from the newly established Institute For Brexit Science.

Lead researcher Kelvin MacKenzie told Newscrasher: “We initially set out to prove that everything ever published in the Daily Express is factual and beyond dispute, a hypothesis proposed by Brexit Science Minister Michael Gove. However, it quickly became clear that close to 99 per cent of everything published in this shit rag is total bollocks.”

“This led us to the conclusion that, contrary what millions of elderly and xenophobes might believe, the Daily Express is not actually a peer reviewed academic journal.”

However, not everybody accepts this conclusion. Paul Golding, the self-styled ‘Fuhrer’ of far-right group Britain First said: “The Daily Express is one of the few academic journals that bravely panders to  the bigoted opinions of racists like me.”

“Thanks to the publication of blatant lies about migrants and the EU, it’s now considered perfectly acceptable to scream racist abuse at anybody suspected of not being 100 per cent British. This is a great victory for the ordinary people of Britain.”

Theresa May mulls removing ‘racially valuable children’ from deported EU migrants

Prime Minister Theresa May is considering removing ‘racially valuable children’  when deporting EU migrants, it has emerged.

Speaking outside Number 10, Mrs. May said: “For far too long the British public have tolerated foreigners coming to our shores to work, paying their taxes and making a positive contribution to the fabric of society.”

“On June 23rd, xenophobes from all across the country voted to take back their country and get rid of the foreigners who they wrongly blame for all their problems, thanks to cynical liars like me.”

“However, the expulsion of such a large number of working age people leaves the UK open to a demographic crisis, which is why the government will be taking the evidence based approach of removing racially valuable children from their parents prior to deportation.”

“I am not a cruel leader, and that is why I have decreed that no foreigners are to be harmed by any of the state’s official security apparatus during their detention in one of the new G4S deportation processing camps.”

“I can also give categorical assurances that the unusually large number of ovens in the camps is entirely innocent, as are the hair and gold-tooth recycling facilities.”

Brexiter demands continued use of gym despite cancelling membership

By Jeff Sanchez and Dorothy Hotdog

A Brexit voter has demanded continued use of the gym facilities after he chose to cancel his membership, it has emerged.

Daily Mail reader Martin Bumfield said: “I looked at the cost of my gym membership and just felt so angry that this money pays for facilities that can be used by other people, maybe even by foreigners and people on benefits.”

“Ignorant of the benefits of being a member, I reasoned that I would like to spend that money on myself only, and so I resolved to take back control and leave.”

However, soon after cancelling his membership, Mr Bumfield was shocked to find the gym staff had become somewhat uncooperative and even refused to allow him use of the gym’s facilities.

“This is bullying. I’m being bullied by the faceless bureaucrats of a corrupt organisation.”

“How dare they punish me by stopping me from swimming in the pool even though I’m no longer a paying member. It’s my RIGHT as a former member to continue to the use the pool whether they like it or not. And it’s also my right to piss in it if I want.”

Mr Bumfield is now in discussions with the manager about retaining limited use of a range of facilities, but without actually being a member and with a much higher monthly fee. He is also considering whether to cancel his golf course membership, but still shit in sand bunker near the 16th hole.

SAS veteran Kemp fires warning shots in Labour leadership battle

Afghanistan war hero and SAS veteran Sir Ross Kemp has entered the Labour leadership race with a stinging attack on incumbent leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Former hard-man Kemp repeated a number of concerns which are basically a load of bollocks: “Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable, he’s a bad leader and he’s actively aiding the infiltration of the Labour Party by people with left wing ideals who care about outdated things like the NHS and fighting poverty.”

“And as somebody who is most famous for playing  a bone-headed thug, you can take my word for it that Jeremy Corbyn needs to make way for somebody right wing with links to disgraced Murdoch hack Rebekah Brooks, and who thinks selling out the poor and vulnerable to get elected is absolutely the right thing to do – we’ll still be able to help the middle classes anyway.”

Some observers have pointed out the irony of the Blairite faction labeling their critics as ‘vile thugs’, when prominent Blairite supporter Ross Kemp himself spent many years acting like a vile thug in the BBC’s soap opera Eastenders.

Osborne: sky’s the limit thanks to towel folding experience and O-Level maths

National hero George Osborne is taking time out from his preferred activity of screwing over the poor to consider the options for his next steps on the career ladder.

In a candid conversation with close friend David Cameron, Mr Osborne says: “With the British economy in ruins, I am now looking to build on this success and move on to new personal and professional challenges.”

Looking up from the woman’s chest from which he had just snorted a line of coke, the former chancellor continued: “I can safely say the sky’s the limit regarding my future career prospects, thanks to my O-Level in mathematics and my extensive experience in the refolding of towels.”

“I expect the IMF will soon invite me to join their team, no doubt they are eager to use my economic genius to get the global economy moving with austerity and trickle-up economics.”

Confident his career will reach new heights, Mr. Osborne screws up a job application form from Selfridges, a move he will soon come to regret.

Theresa May in U-turn over nude PMQ appearance

The Prime Minister has now abandoned all plans to attend Parliament fully nude, it has emerged.

Mrs. May is said to have told key allies of plans to rush through a raft of measures ranging from surveillance of what people do in their lavatories, to logging the preferred gender and body-type of those who view internet pornography, in order to fight terrorism and thought crime.

The Prime Minister was said to be very keen to make her argument as convincing as possible, and had planned to use the classic ‘if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear’ argument, all while standing completely nude at the dispatch box.

It is not clear when or why Theresa May backed away from her planned nude appearance in Parliament. However, an anonymous cabinet member has suggested that cost may have been an issue, with Mrs. May’s husband reportedly being unhappy at having to pay out for a significant makeover for his wife at a time when he is trying to increase his shareholding in several companies that are poised to take over the soon to be outsourced NHS and Trident nuclear deterrent.

Supporting Corbyn is tantamount to vile abuse, says Eagle

Labour Leadership contender Angela Eagle has called for the immediate suspension of all party members who will not vote for her, it has emerged.

The charismatic firebrand MP for Wallasey said: “Voicing support for Jeremy is basically the same as going up to me shouting vile abuse right in my face with a megaphone. For those of us who enjoy very little support, this is hugely intimidating, and I call on Jeremy to reign in people who are not actually under his control but who are voicing support for him and not for me.”

Speaking during a whistle-stop tour of completely empty rooms across the country, political lightweight Ms. Eagle continued: “Unelectable Jeremy Corbyn must also resign immediately and remove himself from the leadership ballot, otherwise he will win. This is because he is more popular than me, because I stand for absolutely nothing except for election.”

“I’ve had a makeover and everything.”
