The Mash guide to the Queen's Speech

THE Queen has outlined the evil plans of the new Conservative government, but how will they affect you?

— Income tax to be abolished for low-income and high-income households, leaving those awful jumped-up aspirational twats in the middle to do all the sweating.

— Free daytime creche in every Wetherspoon’s.

— Legislation banning any increase in income tax, National Insurance and VAT for next five years to keep notoriously crooked Chancellor Osborne on straight street.

— Seven-day NHS to be based on Biblical seventh day when everyone rested.

— Votes on laws which only affect England to include Wales for scapegoat purposes.

— Cutting total benefits for one household from £26,000 to £23,000, potentially saving the public £3,000 a year.

— More schools turned into academies, more academies turned into Jedi Academies, any massacres of younglings regrettable but necessary.

— Referendum on whether to remain in EU before end of 2017, with second referendum in 2018 if voters get first one wrong.

— New series of Sherlock every Christmas without fail or that’s definitely fucking it for the BBC.

Ask Holly: Why can't people just shut up?

Dear Holly,

I was in the library when I was disturbed by a group of mothers and babies who were loudly singing nursery rhymes and doing inane actions. At one point, they were proclaiming ‘if you’re happy and you know it clap, your hands’ and all the little bastards started clapping. At that point I simply had to intervene and remind them in a stern tone that a library is a place for silence and this is the way it has always been and that they must show some respect. Is it just me or has the world gone to pot?

Westminster

Dear John,

You’d make a good teacher, because they are also obsessed by rules and love shouting at people. You need to be careful though, because your pompous authoritarian ways make you a prime candidate for ridicule. As soon as your back is turned someone will be quietly fashioning an anatomically correct willy out of blue tack to stick on your chair when you are not looking and if you were wondering why people snigger when you enter the room, you might also want to check your back for Post-It notes with similarly graphic representations of the male genitalia.

Hope that helps!

Holly
