Far-right weirdo loses election in major shock to status quo

A POPULIST politician who hates immigrants has shockingly lost an election.

Far-right candidate Norbert Hofer failed to win Austria’s presidential poll, in a major shock for many who assumed that swivel-eyed weirdos are the default mainstream choice these days.

31-year-old Emma Bradford said: “When I saw the words ‘election’ ‘far-right’ and ‘Austria’ I skipped straight to page five of my newspaper because I just can’t take it any more.

“Turns out he actually lost, which I can’t quite get my head around. I just assumed the exploitation of racial tensions would win out, triggering a catastrophic domino effect across the region and resulting in loads more nutters gaining power.

“You know, just normal everyday 2016 stuff.”

No one enjoying being in pub more than local dog  

ABSOLUTELY no one is enjoying being in the pub today more than a local dog, it has emerged.

Larry, a six-year old terrier from Didcot, said: “This place is the nuts.

“I never have to pay for a drink, everyone wants to stroke me and I get to sit by the log fire until my owner is drunk enough for me to walk him home.”

Landlady, Mary Fisher, added: “It’s not really a good night in the pub if Larry isn’t there. It’s a shame he can’t pull pints because I’d hire him in a minute.”

Larry’s owner Bill McKay said: “This is why I’m a dog person. You can’t take a cat to the pub, can you?

“Well, you probably can in Shoreditch, but you can’t round here.”
