Military chiefs have completed quite the contortion by patting themselves on the back while giving themselves a reach around: "Our strategy of saying we would help but just doing the bare minimum has really paid off. Rather than actual troops or logistics, what we focused on was sending best wishes and our elite PR firms. The Russian offensive was smashed by our optimistic slogans and fantastic powerpoint display.


"All our military objectives were completed - as long as you put your fingers in your ears and shout la la la. Ukraine is victorious – which is to say v-i-c-t-o-r-i-o-u-s, or Venture Into Chaos That Offers Ruin Instead Of Unlikely Success.


"Moscow has fallen. Definitely. For sure. If you hold it up at an angle and squint a bit. We beat Russia so hard their chess grandmasters started playing checkers. We didn’t just defeat them — we rewrote the laws of thermodynamics to make freedom the only stable state of matter. We've proven you don't need superiority in troop numbers, production or tactics, you just need good photo ops. And a large amount of delusion and cocaine."



Reform politicians are growing ‘increasingly concerned’ about the low level of violence perpetrated by immigrants.


‘Is it too much to ask?’ a spokesman said. ‘All we want is a couple of rapes and maybe a terror attack once a fortnight. Just enough to keep the membership growing. You can’t expect people to turn out every weekend, shouting at hotels, if there haven’t been any crimes committed’.


Nigel Farage is understood to be ‘baffled’ by the low crime figures, given the number of ‘men of fighting age’ he has pointed at over the years. ‘What’s wrong with them?’ the spokesman added. ‘It’s almost as if they aren’t terrorists after all’.


In other news, the latest violent incident appears to have been carried out by British men, causing racists to mutter ‘oh, for f*ck’s sake’ under their breath.




The ghost of Guy Fawkes has issued an apology for ‘all the f*cking fireworks’ and says that he would never have tried to blow up Parliament if he’d known about the centuries of shit bonfires and distraught pets.


‘Woo, ooh, ooh’ his ghost said, which roughly translates as ‘Sorry. Please apologise to your dog for me’.


It’s relatively rare for ghosts to issue an apology. Genghis Khan apologised a few years back after DNA tests showed that he was the ancestral father of almost everybody in the world, though he followed it up with ‘hashtag legend’, which suggests a level of insincerity.


Bonfire Night is a uniquely British institution – disappointing and expensive with occasional showers, rather like a trip to the seaside. Some people are rumoured to enjoy it, but then some people like being whipped.


Last word should go to Guy Fawkes’ ghost: ‘Wooh, oooh, woooh, woooh, ooooh’. Exactly.
