No f**king way, says UK after Jeremy Hunt promoted

BRITONS are convinced there has been a terrible mistake after health minister Jeremy Hunt was promoted in the cabinet reshuffle.  

The public is desperately trying to find a rational explanation for Hunt taking over social care after spending years running the NHS into the ground while smiling like a vaguely creepy garden gnome.

Hairdresser Nikki Hollis said: “Is there a different Jeremy Hunt who should have been promoted instead of him? It’s a long shot but it makes more sense than giving him extra things to fuck up.

“Maybe a computer malfunctioned and instead of a letter saying ‘You’re fired, you twat’ he got one saying ‘Well done, take over social care’.

“Later I might cut someone’s ear off and see if I get a pay rise.”

Office worker Tom Logan said: “Of course Hunt isn’t still health secretary. It’s probably just someone who looks like him, maybe his twin brother. That happens all the time in films.

“I pray that fucker isn’t now responsible for how I’m treated in my declining years. I really don’t want to spend my old age strapped to a commode eating watery Smash.”

Are you the president of the United States?

WITH so many distractions around, it is surprisingly easy to forget whether you are the leader of the free world. Take our test to find out.

Where do you live?

A. In a standard house or flat, possibly with a garage containing a car.

B. In a massive house that is notable for its whiteness, with 30 or 40 burly, smartly-dressed men called things like ‘Davis’ or ‘Price’ who keep talking into radios.

How does your average day begin?

A. Wake up around 7am, eat some cereal, go to office job.

B. Stay up all night watching Paranormal Witness and Ice Road Truckers, until Price enters your bedroom, draws the curtain and hands you a large paper cup full of pills. If you question the pills he explains they’re for your digestion, sir.

What’s your daily beauty regime?

A. There isn’t one as such. I have a shower and perhaps a shave.

B. Pin remaining tobacco-coloured hairs across scalp. Attach stomach hoists and lift belly to chest area. Check continued existence of withered genitals.

Do you know any Russians?

A. There’s a guy at work called Sergei. Actually he might be from Ukraine. I don’t know him that well but he’s always polite.

B. Of course, they have that control room in the basement and their own taxpayer-funded vodka budget. Great people and some very lovely, elegant ladies. Wait. No. I meant no. I don’t know any Russians at all. Who are you? I can destroy your life.

Mostly As – Sorry, you are not the most powerful man in the world. Don’t threaten anyone today or you might go to prison.

Mostly Bs – You are the president of America, a country on Earth. Congratulations! Don’t press anything.
