Man violently opposed to EU because of problems with women

A MAN is opposed to the European Union because it has turned women into feminists who will not go out with him.

Tom Booker, from Stevenage, has linked the EU to a series of unhappy romantic incidents, particularly women telling him they only like him as a friend.

Co-worker Emma Bradford said: “Tom blames his romantic problems on feminism, rather than fancying women who are out of his league or obviously insane.

“He thinks that if we got rid of everything that might be vaguely liberal then women would all turn into obedient, 1950s housewives.

“Also, he reckons Match.com was set up by the European Regional Development Fund to destroy British manhood.”

Booker said: “Women are so demanding these days and I’m sure they’re getting it from Angela Merkel.

“Meanwhile our EU membership has also led to a huge influx of Romanian and Bulgarian women who all seem to be lesbians.”

How did you score?

15-10: You are the workingest working class, with the pride and body type of a bulldog. Truly you are the salt of the earth, to the extent that your mere touch dehydrates things.

10-5: Middle working class, with aspirational tendencies. Your Tony Parsons books and occasional purchase of smoothies could lead you on a dark path to middle England.

5-0: Always sucking up to the bosses and laughing at their golf jokes, you cross picket lines on a weekly basis and nobody will pass you the mic during karaoke.
