KING Arthur has returned in Britain’s hour of need with a plan mainly involving swords, he has announced.
The legendary king intends to save his people from disaster, although it is unclear how running around with a weapon and armour will prevent the economy going into recession.
Arthur said: “I have retrieved mighty Excalibur, proving I am the one true king of England and giving me the ability to stab, slash and chop things.
“I’ve summoned the 12 Knights of the Round Table, who also have swords, and Merlin the wizard, who can turn into a stag. As you can see, the plan is really shaping up.
“We’ve come to Downing Street, but I’m not entirely sure how to do battle with leaving an economic trading bloc. Also Lancelot has been tasered for waving his sword around.
“Sir Gawain has offered to challenge David Cameron to one-to-one combat and Merlin is reading up on referendum law, although he’s finding non-Middle English really heavy going.
“I will definitely rescue my countrymen from peril once I work out what to do, but if they weren’t such idiots this would never have happened.”
Yesterday the knights attempted to storm the European Parliament, resulting in four arrests and a Belgian policeman being turned into a squirrel.
