Banks free to bollocks everything up again

A NEW set of financial rules will give banks the freedom to trash the economy beyond repair again, it has been announced.

The overhaul of regulations will do away with pesky things like red tape and accountability, laying the groundwork for a 2008-style financial apocalypse that banks will ultimately profit from.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said: “Why the confusion and dread? Rolling the dice with your life savings is precisely what you lot voted for in 2016. So you’ve only got yourselves to blame when it inevitably goes tits up.

“Look, banks have learnt their lesson from 2008. You’d have to be a monster with a heart of stone to look in their big, glistening doe-eyes as they say they’re really, really sorry and not be moved to tears. I felt so sad I just had to remove the cap on their bonuses.

“By saying meaningless buzzwords like ‘turbocharge growth’ and ‘post-Brexit freedom’ again and again I will jump-start the economy, boost investment and level up the country. 

“Don’t ask me how but it’ll definitely work. Not that it matters. If it turns into a horrific f**k-up again you’ll bail us out. Thanks in advance.

“This has absolutely nothing to do with top bankers being close mates and funders of the Tory party. I’m offended you could even think such a nasty thing.”

Perhaps both sides could shut the f**k up, Britain suggests to Royals

THE UK has suggested that perhaps both Harry and Megan and the Royal family could, for the good of the whole nation, shut the f**k up.

After a day of being bombarded with commentary and recaps and views on a Netflix documentary which at this stage it would be entirely redundant to actually watch, the nation has agreed that a lengthy period of silence would do everyone good.

Nathan Muir of Bedford said: “Jesus Christ, can the lot of you just f**king shut the f**k up?

“Theoretically I’m sympathetic to Harry. I prefer my wife to my boring-arse family, and I buggered off rather than stay in Wigan doing what they told me, so we’re kind of the same.

“But at this point I’ve had enough of him and his bloody bird. For me they can piss off and do whatever wonderful virtuous shit they like as long as they keep f**king quiet.

“And yes, while Kate and Wills don’t make documentaries they’re not shy of putting their own tedious gripes across in the media, and I’ve had enough of their shite as well.

“Remember how we loved the Queen? Remember we knew nothing about her because she only bothered us once a year for ten minutes? Yeah. Learn from her. Shut the f**k up.”
