The Royal Family Isn't Working...



The Duke and Duchess of Sussex today announced their support from Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party.  Princess Meghan said “We fully support the Labour party’s vision of a 32 hour working week.  We should live to work not work to live.  This is why, while not going out on strike, recently we have instituted a policy of working to rule.”  

Prince Harry rejoined “Yes, whilst politically neutral for constitutional reasons... the Royal Family have an unearned reputation of being secret Tories but we actually have a strong heritage of socialism in "the firm".   My great Uncle Edward famously withdrew his labour in the 1930s because the Church of England discriminated against him for his poor choice of women and because he invited the wrong kind of people to cocktail parties.  We have decided to do something similar for similar reasons...”

Prince Andrew, who has also cut down on his Royal duties recently, chimed into the debate: “I did everything I could to reduce the costs of the Monarchy to the taxpayer,” he said, “such as staying at friend’s houses while I was abroad rather than renting posh penthouses but all the thanks I got was barbed accusations that I was visiting houses of ill repute.  People think it’s easy being a Royal but it’s actually very difficult to ask someone “Hello, and what do you do?” particularly so when they may come back with the answer “I’m an underage prostitute.””

Prince Phillip was unavailable for a racist comment having previously withdrawn his labour on the grounds he was too old to stand up and therefore his stand-up comedy routines about slitty eyed foreigners no longer had the same punch when being delivered from a wheelchair.   

“In order for my kind of comedy to work,” he said, “one has to punch down rather than up and that’s something one cannot do well sitting down.  Besides which my grandson tells me some of my jokes about foriegners are no longer as funny as they were and I should make way for alternative comedy...”  One of Prince Phillips most recent gigs was described by the press as a "car crash".

Chinny rub of the Week

Apparently Essex Police turned up at the door of Allison Pearson on Remembrance Sunday to say someone had reported her for posting something...

Least ignored nonsense this month...
