Drug dealers concerned customers are unsure of imperial measurements
A spokesman for the National Union of Drug Dealers has expressed concerns that customers and pushers will not understand imperial measurements when changes come into force.
“We’ve always dealt in grams”, Spider Harris told our reporter. “The customers will have no idea how much to buy and, to be quite honest, I’m not sure many of my members will either.”
“It’ll be the ruin of us. A one gram wrap for £20 will now be a 0.035 ounce wrap. We’re gonna need new scales. My employees won’t be able to quickly work out grams to ounces by dividing current wraps by 28.364. Most of them didn’t go to school, if they’d got maths GCSE, they wouldn’t be working for me, would they?”
A spokesman for Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, released a statement saying the PM was concerned for the future of the trade and that the Department for Work and Pensions is looking into an advertising campaign, credit card sized conversion charts, new scales and extra training for dealers at this difficult time.

Unattended PM on nursery school visit eats crayons and smears own faeces on face
Prime Minister Boris Johnson was momentarily left unattended during a visit to a nursery school. In the space of a few minutes he had eaten all of the crayons and entered the faeces smearing stage.
His handler said, ‘All of these visits to schools and playgroups and nursing homes are our way of getting him the care he needs at the expense of the state. Donors used to fork out for his playpen and bouncer and things like that which were disguised as Number 10 flat decoration expenses. But they’re refusing to stump up for the professional help he requires, so we have to plan his week very carefully to cause the minimum disruption to the country.
‘Can you imagine if we actually left him in charge of something important, even for a minute? Hah! Doesn’t bear thinking about, does it? No, it’s a very important role I fulfil, and extremely stressful. The other week I caught him trying to stuff a toy bus into Larry’s anus. If I wasn’t watching him 24/7 then he’d probably do something unimaginably off the scale batshit like give nuclear weapons to Australia.
‘To be honest though, it’s not as hectic as looking after the Cabinet in my wider remit as Wrangler of Ministers. Turn your back for two minutes and they’re swinging off the curtains, building cushion forts under the cabinet office table, pulling Liz Truss’s hair and forming national policy at a level which would make your average five-year-old sick up his cheese strings.’

Richard Curtis new rom-com about turd stuck down toilet of luxury apartment
Richard Curtis, writer of such rom-com classics like ‘Notting Hill’, ‘About Time and ‘Four Weddings And A Funeral’, has revealed that his next movie will centre around a woman dropping an unflushable log down the toilet of her date’s luxury apartment along the South Bank.
The shooting of the movie is almost complete with Hugh Grant reprising his role as a bumbling upper-class twit, who at first is amusingly unable to deal with the situation of having a shit the size of a brick stuck down his loo.
Four Weddings and a Funeral cast member Andie McDowell, who will be playing Grant’s love interest in the movie, is said to have signed up to the role within minutes of reading the script. ‘She couldn’t turn it down,’ said an industry insider. ‘Scripts as polished as this come along once in a lifetime.’
One of the directing team explained that the floating turd is a metaphor for the world we live in. ‘We are living in a world that is going through a pretty shit time at the moment, but at the end of the day love conquers all.’
Without wanting to give too much away, he continued ‘One of my favourite moments in the movie is when McDowell’s character turns to Grant’s character and says, “is it still there, I hadn’t noticed.” And that’s the whole premise of the movie, no matter how hard it tries shit can never come between love.’
Another insider concluded: ‘It’s basically a story about a shit looking up from the toilet watching a boy and girl fall in love’. He also confirmed he was working on the sequel, where Hugh Grant’s character fishes the turd out with huge comedic effect, titled ‘Glove, Actually’.

Metric martyrs chain-ed in a bushel and peck-ed furlong time
Supermarket shelves may be empty, but that zero may need no longer be measured in metric.
Greengrocer Bob Bridlington says he once served 10 years in an EU maximum security prison for using imperial measurements, adding: ‘I deliberately cannot understand that 1000 grams is 1 kilogram. I prefer 16 drachms per ounce, 16 ounces per pound, then inexplicably 14 pounds per stone. Then 112 pounds per hundredweight, as God intended. We should ban apostrophe’s too because it feels European and I forget not to use them for plural’s.’
Scientist Shelley Stevenson asked ‘5 fluid ounces per gill, but 4 gills per pint. 3 barleycorns per inch but also 22 yards per furlong. What? Do I have to buy black market beakers now?’
A Tory strategist noted ‘Michael Gove is converting his cocaine order as we speak. Also, there’ll be more Olympic medals for Team GB because yards are shorter than metres, so we’ll have a head start.’

Cabinet reshuffle is ‘top trolling’
The disbelief provoked by the recent reshuffle, is said to be evidence that this was a clear attempt to spark outrage and give Twitter users an embolism. A Downing Street source confirmed that Boris was just doing it ‘for the bantz’.
Rumours persist that originally Gavin Williamson was to be replaced with an egg plant but no one noticed. While appointing Nadine Dorries as Culture Secretary, is the political equivalent of poking a hornet’s nest and then for an encore shoving your thumb up an alligator’s butt.
Meanwhile the chairs on the Titanic objected to the tired analogy that Boris was simply rearranging the furniture on a sinking ship. Said one chair: ‘If anything we were killing time before an inevitable icy death, but with Boris it will be so much worse’.
Boris is considering staying on as Prime Minister, but that is just what a wind-up-merchant would say.

Courtroom artist’s rendition of defendant stunningly accurate
Readers of the Daily Express and the Daily Mail were able to recognise the picture of Danny “Fingers” O’Toole drawn by Sarah Robinson during cross-examination at the Old Bailey.
“Blimey, it’s the dead spit of him,” claimed Nosher Curtains of Bexley Heath.
Asked how she achieved such a fine likeness Sarah replied, “Well, I did study life drawing at the Slade. At first I thought that the sketches were meant to be unintelligible to protect the identity of those in the courtroom. But the Usher told me that was not the case. So I let my natural abilities have free rein.”
Why, therefore are most sketches so bad? “Dunno, really. Maybe other artists want to get the reputation as the Francis Bacon of the court scene”.

‘Moths are idiots’ scientists confirm
David Rogers, professor of futile entomology at Anthea Turner College Cambridge today published the results of his exhaustive seventeen year study into the uselessness of the common moth.
‘This is my life’s work. Over 2000 pages of analysis and statistics, comprehensively peer reviewed and submitted to the Royal Society which we believe proves, without doubt, that moths are a right bunch of dicks.
I mean, they fly into my bathroom at night because they think the light is somehow the moon. What’s that all about?, It’s nothing like the moon. It’s much smaller for a start.
And why are they so obsessed with the moon anyway? They’re never going to make it. And even if they did, there’s fuck all for a moth to do up there anyway. Honestly, set of furry faced wankers the lot of them.’
Asked about his next research project, Rogers explained, ‘We think we’re either going to look at whether wasps are a bit tetchy or if Boris Johnson is a clueless oaf. That one probably won’t take seventeen years though.’

Imports of red tape cut by increased border bureaucracy
Finally fulfilling a promise made during Brexit and subsequent election campaigns, the amount of red tape in the UK has fallen by over 90% following delays to red tape imports caused by increased bureaucracy at the border. Stationery and art stores around the country have warned that a winter shortage in supplies will have a catastrophic affect on the number of bows around Christmas presents this year.
Although the fishing industry is on its knees, the promised £350 million a week cheque for the NHS is still in the post and the oven-ready deal is no more than an empty pack of unpicked frozen peas, the government have been celebrating the cut in red tape as “promises made, promises kept despite our best efforts to screw it all up”.
Nadine Dorries – newly appointed Minster for Flags, Farage and Gareth Southgate – indicated that the massive increase in paperwork, time and checks at the border were a small price to pay for the promised cut in red tape.
“We said from the very beginning that we got all of our red tape from the EU, and surprisingly we weren’t lying” a spokesperson for Dorries added. “Apparently 200 tonnes a year. Now we have more forms to fill in than the PM’s annual child maintenance assessment, most of it is stuck in Calais along with other unimportant things like food, medicine and a family of four who have been waiting in an immigration queue since February”.

Elmo appointed new Secretary of State for Education
Cute furry faced friend of everybody and MP for the Sesame Street constituency. Elmo Monster, has told the press he is “very happy to be appointed Secretary of State For Education” in the latest government reshuffle.
His background in education makes him more suitable for the role than any of his predecessors, especially with his knowledge of most of the alphabet, in order, and all the numbers up to 12.
Elmo will take up the post with immediate effect and has already started to move his toys, crayons and colouring books into his office in Whitehall. Previous incumbent, Gavin Williamson, had left some of his own colouring books behind but Elmo was disappointed to see that he had often gone over the lines or used completely the wrong colours.
Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, says he is pleased with his new Cabinet choices, which include Count von Count as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Cookie Monster in charge of Food and Oscar the Grouch as Minister for Housing.

Surgical appliance replaces Foreign Secretary
The replacement of Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab by a truss has been widely welcomed at Westminster. It’s the first time a senior member of any British cabinet has been replaced by a device designed to counter the effects of a hernia.
‘This is a brilliant appointment’, one Tory grandee said. At last we have a Foreign Secretary who will take a firm grip of a difficult situation. It shows Boris’s creativity in making an appointment with which everyone will be comfortable, especially when they stand up suddenly. Conservative MP and doctor Mike Smythe explained ‘Very often the symptom a truss can effectively deal with is an enlarged scrotum, and I can think of no better description of Mr Raab.’

Plastic bag trees now endangered
Plastic bags fluttering in trees used to be a common sight throughout the urban avenues and rural hedgerows of Britain, but now the plastic bag tree is dying out. Even in Liverpool, where it once thrived amongst the indigenous litter lawns and polystyrene take-away container bushes, the future of the plastic bag tree is in doubt.
Critics claim that the primary reason for the decline is the 5p charge for plastic shopping bags introduced by the Government last year. It is claimed that this, in conjunction with the ‘reduce, re-use, recycle’ initiative, has the potential to destroy the environment and eco-system in which the plastic bag tree formerly flourished.
But now a new organisation, Life For Bags, is attempting to save the species, as spokesman Leonard Mitchell, a Government lobbyist and carrier politician, explained. ‘We must not allow the great British institution that is the plastic bag tree to die out and be replaced with foreign imports,’ he said. ‘This is nothing but attempted murder and we are campaigning to reverse this Government’s brutal ‘Jute to Kill’ policy.’

Magic 8 ball determines cabinet reshuffle
A flunky at 10 Downing Street was observed taking delivery of a Magic 8 ball yesterday, in advance of the cabinet reshuffle.
A source said: ‘Boris believes very strongly in letting fate and/or other cabinet ministers take the blame for whatever has been grossly mismanaged this time. There’s no point in getting all scientific about it, we just let the magic 8 ball decide.’
‘For example, should Gavin Williamson have kept his job as Education secretary, despite being Gavin Williamson. Magic 8 ball said “Definitely not, he’s Gavin Willliamson”. Could Bob “The Builder” Jenrick fix it as Housing Minister? Magic 8 ball said “Er…No”. Would it be fun to lock Dominic Raab in a room with an angry bear and let nature take its course. Magic 8 ball said “Dream big”.’
Johnson was also spotted in the garden of 10 Downing Street late yesterday, picking the petals from a daisy to determine if Laura Kuenssberg really loves him.

Jab for 12-15’s will protect against pinch punch first of the month
The Government have tried to reassure parents that the Covid jab is safe for teenagers, by suggesting that it provides protection against wedgies, noogies and the inevitable ‘wet willy’. They also claim that the jab will guard against acne – but only in the arm that has the injection.
One doctor explained: ‘There is a very real risk to teenagers receiving a pinch and a punch, if they have not been vaccinated. The Covid jab is 74% effective against all forms of tomfoolery and gives 99% protection against larks’.
Meanwhile anti-vaxxers have declared: ‘White rabbits. No returns!’

Ron Jenkins resigns as viewer of GB News
GB News official viewer, Ron Jenkins of Clacton, has announced his resignation citing repeated targeting adverts.
“It became very difficult”, explained Mr Jenkins, “Obviously, I enjoy the veiled racism, and the reassurance that Brexit is a great idea – I’d drink a toast to that, if the shops hadn’t run out of beer for some reason. But the targeted adverts became overwhelming – when an advert came up saying ‘Ron, it’s your turn to take the bins out’, I realised that being the only viewer for a TV channel has it’s drawbacks.”
