Economic growth is bollocks and we don’t need it, say Brexiters

BRITAIN’S reduced economic growth forecast means the whole concept is probably bollocks, Brexit supporters have explained.

As the Bank of England cut growth figures, Brexiters have decided the whole thing is made up by economists just to sound clever.

Sales manager Roy Hobbs said: “You don’t want things to grow all the time. If they did your lawn would be like a jungle and you’d get eaten by a cat the size of a godzilla.

“If the economy grew too much Britain would be completely full of factories and we’d be making so many TVs and fridges we’d have to dump them in the sea just to make a bit of space.

“It looks like the ‘experts’ are talking bollocks again, what a surprise. I suppose next they’ll be telling us we can’t make our own BMWs.”

Shopkeeper Donna Sheridan: “I think economists literally just make it all up, but everyone’s afraid to say so because they use clever words.

“I actually do think that.”

Weather reassures parents it will be shit again for the holidays

THE UK’s weather has reassured anxious parents it will return to raining solidly for their upcoming fortnight away. 

Fears that the current heatwave may continue past the end of term have been quashed after six weeks of heavy rainfall and gale-force winds were unveiled.

A spokesman said: “Everyone can relax. Whether you’re travelling to the Isle of Skye or the Cornish coast, it will be ghastly.

“It will be particularly concentrated on coastal areas, though of course the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales will get their share, and no promise to brighten up later will be fulfilled.

“This means big savings on suncream and ice-lollies for anxious parents which can be spent on visiting expensive indoor attractions like tank museums and the restored houses of Henry VIII’s wives.”
