A survey of Clacton children’s letters to Santa has revealed that the most popular requests children in Clacton are asking for in their letters to Santa, are teddy bears that resemble the teddy boys, who in the 50s, descended on the town on bank holiday weekends, intent on causing mayhem.


Sociologists drafted in from Grauniad-reading parts of the Home Counties, have suggested there may be a link between grandmothers in the town who became single parents after the teddy boys left to return to work after the bank holidays to work in fag factories in the east end of London, recalling that the highlight of their lives was when they were sweet-talked by a posh wide boy as he breathed beer and fag fumes over them while he had his wicked way with them, and the palaver of the struggle to remove the drainpipe trousers added to something unique to the foreplay.


“It’s no surprise to me that when a similarly-clad wide boy turned up in Clacton, dressed in a faux Edwardian coat to charm these ladies again in his appeal to become their MP, that they voted for him, but he effed off, never intending to return until seeking re-election.” said Germiane Fuck-me-Shoes, a feminist campaigner who Newsbiscuit managed to interview after intervening in a fight at a bus stop to canvas her views on the popularity of teddy boy teddy bears.





Following the fire-sale purchase of right-wing news organisation InfoWars by satirical site The Onion, financially struggling UK counterpart GB News has announced its acquisition by a similar long-standing publication, The Beano.


'We're delighted to bring GB News under The Beano's masthead,' said Denise Menice, editor-in-chief. 'Thankfully we'll have to make very few alterations, given we've already got Nigel Farage as a perfect Roger the Dodger, telling you how to dodge inheritance tax; Jacob Rees-Mogg was actually the original model for Lord Snooty, so it's really a case of life imitating art; and of course the rest make a great ensemble piece as the numbskulls."


In a Clacton pub, regular viewers were - perhaps shockingly - welcome to the changes. 'So long as they don't take that Michelle Dewberry off the breakfast show,' one supporter remarked, 'she's the only reason I get up in the morning, if you get my drift, fnar fnar!' While another was a little more hesitant, telling us, 'I'm worried about two things: First, the woke agenda sneaking in. None of the kids get whacked with a slipper or a cane any more. I was beaten by my dad and it never did me any harm, if you don't count the PTSD. Second, I hope they don't use all those long words like they do in the comic. I try to read it every week, and have to ask my son for help.'
