LLLP Buckstop

This is a continuation of the LLLP solution to the current Brexit stalemate.

The stumbling block in the Brexit negotiations seems to have been the “ backstop”, or perhaps it was a bust-up, or more likely a  buckstop.    The Last Laugh Looney Party answer is not to bother with an agreement at all, then we don’t need a backstop.   SIMPLE 😀

Having banished all the politicians to foreign parts they can huff and puff all they like, but it won’t change anything.    The LLLP Caretaker Government will not rush into anything for a while, they will wait and see how Europe responds to Britain closing the channel tunnel.    This will provide a cooling off period, which should help with global warming.

The next step will be a series of LLLP Weekly Referendums, open to all UK citizens over the age of ten, except for politicians stranded abroad and criminals living in Spain.    Here are some of the first questions :-

  • Should politicians living abroad still be paid a salary?
  • Should the sun shine every day ?
  • Should we all have a lot more money ?
  • Should we all have free ice cream every day to combat global warming ?
  • Should we all wear funny hats on a Friday to celebrate our independence ?
  • Should traffic lights be switched to red on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to save the planet from pollution ?

Our politicians are never going to be able to answer these key questions so the LLLP will ask the people to vote by phone each week, (just like Strictly ) and the results will be announced on TV on Sunday night and be implemented on the following Monday.

THERE WILL BE MORE  LAST LAUGH LOONEY PARTY “DAFT IDEAS”  TO CHEER US UP IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKS.

LLLP Brexit Holiday

Our hard working, dedicated MP’s have got themselves in such a tizzy over leaving the European Union.    The Last Laugh Looney Party have decided they need a break.   They are all obviously all in such a confused mental state that they keep changing political parties, shouting insults at each other, threatening to break the law, whipping each other and even upsetting the wonderful pipsqueek speaker – John Berk Oh.

A parliamentary public holiday through October was booked for the whole lot of them with Thomas Cook.   Off they all went to the Costa Del Sol to join the rest of the criminals.    The very sad thing is that Thomas Cook went bust when they were over there and now they will have to stay there for a while.   Rather ironic, since most of them wanted to stay in Europe anyway 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

In the meantime the LLLP will stand in as a caretaker Government.     Their first new law, which is effective immediately, is to require all entrants to Britain to have an  entry visa, this includes any MP’s who happen to be on holiday.

Since there will be no “negotiation “ with Mr Barmy of the EU Commission, we will just have to automatically “crash out” on October 31st.  That will please Bodj who will no doubt apply for a visa to come back to Britain in triumph.    Sadly that won’t be possible because the second law the LLLP passed, which will be called the “No Surrender Law”, requires all politicians to be repatriated to a detention centre, -sorry Butlins holiday camp, on the Isle of Skye, where they can have an extended holiday until January 2020, or 2021, or even 2222.

Then the “Buckstop Clause” will kick in.

Pangolin Angling

Pangolins live on a diet of ants,

which is generally quite boring.

So sometimes they try new things

and fish was recommended.

 

Down to the river bank,

rod in hand.

The pangolin meandered.

But fish don’t give up easily

and angling can be an effort.

Pangolins don’t like hard work.

So they often end up snoring.

Pangolin Mandolin

That pesky Pangolin is in my waking-head again.

It’s not clear where he comes from,

Or why or when.

 

It must be because it’s raining,

That is obviously what brings Pangolins out.

So here he is again.

 

This time the Pangolin has got a mandolin.

A rather strange juxtaposition.

 

Now for the Pangolin rendition :-

 

”Ants for breakfast and ants for tea.

Ants for dinner and ants are free.

That’s the story of ants and me.”

LLLP Next Move ?

Bodj has now been deemed to have acted illegally over poroguing Parliament.   All his “friends” are jumping on the bandwagon and instantly calling on Bodj to resign.

The lawyers have had their say and now we all have to pay.   Legal eagles have put our politicians back in the playground to continue squabbling.

The Last Laugh Looney Party needs to come up with some even more daft ideas to move the situation forward.     HERE ARE A FEW THOUGHTS :-

  • We could close the channel tunnel just for fun.    As a symbolic gesture of our independence.
  • We could lock all the MP’s in Parliament until they can agree on something or anything at all and only feed them on baked beans.
  • If they don’t come out with anything sensible,  then we send them back in again.     To eat more baked beans and definitely no jelly.    They can stay there until after October 31st.
  • When they are finally let out, we will no longer be in the European Union 😀
  • Then we can open the channel tunnel again as if nothing happened.

                                          And it didn’t !

LLLP Supreme Cart

When it comes to BREXIT everybody is now getting on the bandwagon.   The latest group are the legal eagles, eager to prove they are not above the law, in fact they are the law.    And they all get paid handsomely for stating the obvious.   So the Last Laugh Looney Party has decided to tell them what the obvious is to help clarify things with regard to BREXIT.

First of al Prime Minister Bodj wants to stay in Europe with a deal, or without a deal, or if it has got a “backstop”, then it has to have “no borders”.     While Opposition leader Jeremy Corbblers doesn’t know what he wants, except it is definitely not what Bodj wants.    So there !   And they have all been fighting about it in the playground, called Parliament for the last three years

Meanwhile the Nationalist party’s are all going home with their bats and balls, or is it cabers, leaks and shenanigans.   Oh and the Liberal Demons are collecting up all the defectors in the hope that they can get on tele and look important.   Then don’t forget the Green -there is only one – she is sanctimoniously right about everything and will vote against anything unless it’s a change in the weather.

The actual Brexit party, who started the fight in the first place, don’t have any MP’s, so they can’t play in the playground.

The Supreme Cart  of Judges and QC’s in  wigs and bathrobes justly has to sort this out.   A bit like Gary Linacre and Alan Shearer on Match of the Day.

”Was Bodj within his rights to prorogue Parliament?”   Yes say the Cart they have been doing it for years.

”Should Jeremy Cobblers call for a General Election?”   Yes say the Cart, what a good way to sort things out peacefully.

“Then we can start a new fight in the playground !”   Says the Last Laugh Looney Party.

Steps and Stairs – Beware !

A step is a step too far for many older people.  Well it can be when it is a step up or a step down.    Stumbles, tumbles and falls are an everyday hazard of later life.

It is not often the drink that does it, it is more likely to be the rug on the floor that you trip over.   Or the flip flop, flip-flops that make you flop.   Or the step without a handy handrail.   Or the bad lighting.   Or just bad eyesight.   Or a shuffling gate.   Or carrying a tray that obscures your view.   Or a wet bathroom floor.    Or a moment of inattention.    A distraction that leads to an accidental path you never intended to take, off to A&E !

The Homes for Later Living Consortium published a report recently that suggested that over a million older people will visit hospital after a fall.   In fact the number is growing and by 2032 it is expected to be 2.5 million at a cost to the NHS of £2billion  a year.

The Centre for Ageing Better found that making small changes can make homes much safer for older people.   Simple aides and adaptations, like grab rails and ramps, can reduce the incidence of falls.    90% of retired people live and want to remain in their own home, so adapting the houses should be the first step to making life safer.

           A handrail is much cheaper than a hip operation !

“POPINJAY”

Today I woke up with a POPINJAY,

not literally I might add.

But I don’t know where he came from

and that was sad.

 

Just a forgotten word in my mind,

lost in the mystery of times past.

Floating to the surface

for one last word.

It’s a dandy man.

or it’s a bird

chased by arrows

through the narrows of my mind.

LLLP Circus

A few days ago we had the LLLP Clowns, now we have the complete LLLP Circus complete with ninja turtles 🐢🐢🐢🐢.    Bodj has decided to prorogue Parliament, whatever that means?    I think he ment to say cadjole Parliament, but Bodge is not very good at persuading people, especially his own MP’s.     Or perhaps he ment to parole Parliament, i.e. let them out until they are tried for something.

Either way the MP’s have been sent home for five weeks to cool down.   I don’t suppose we will miss them.    And they can do less harm while they are under house arrest 🤡

In the meantime Bodj will be tripping over to Europe with his LLLP special advisers to  conclude a Brexit deal.  

His red lines are that the European Commission must pay Britain £36 billion to leave, erect borders everywhere and stop freedom of movement from anywhere to anywhere.    Only then will we agree to sell them pork pies and Stilton cheese again,   And they are still not  having any of our fish !

Oh, and if they have another war, don’t expect us to come and help.  So there .

Preparations for a No-Deal Brexit are well advanced and  Coco, the new cabinet minister for dogs has stockpiled a years supply of  Pedigree pet food and enough Bonio biscuits for the next three years.

LLLP CLOWNS

I just knew that Boris Johnson ( henceforth known as Bodj ) has been reading my Last Laugh Looney Party blogs to pickup ideas of how to run the country.    The trouble is that he has not been reading it very carefully and he has got the wrong end of the political stick🤡

In my post on the 11th August I launched the Last Laugh Looney Party Manifesto for the upcoming election.    Bodj pinched the ideas but, turned them upside down.    Instead of cutting costs he is increasing them !   Silly billy.

Whereas the LLLP was going to have a foreign legion of deported criminals and a children’s airforce squadron of drone fighter pilots, all of of whom were doing it for free, Bodj is planning to spend £ billions on more on generals and air chief marshals and administrators and at least two more soldiers with guns.

But, I know he is copying some ideas, like reducing the number of MP’s, except Bodj is doing it by kicking them out of his own party one at a time 🤡

Bodj has got into the LLLP spirit of things by spending £200 million on buses, that must have been why he was making all those cardboard buses.   They won’t be very good in the rain though 🤡

Best of all Bodj is going to use £30 million protecting turtles 🐢🐢🐢🐢 there will be lots of votes in that idea.   Drenched out of his childhood memories, although Bodj has never really grown up, his new Cabinet will include Leonado, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo.

This new Ninja Cabinet will soon sort out Europe  🤡 !
