Lib Dems promise to sort out the telly

The Lib Dems have promised that, if elected, there will be more premiership football games featuring Ed Davey on free to air television. They see this as an excellent policy – popular and also cheap. This has inspired them to make further plans to ‘sort out the telly’.

Ideas under consideration include:

- fewer adverts during films, and no sneaky backloading of adverts towards the end of the film. How annoying is that?

- bringing back David Tennant as Doctor Who, and toning down all the gay stuff.

- a strict quota on ABCDEFG programmes. The acronym refers to programmes about Antiques, Bargains, Clothes, Disasters and DIY (including DIY disasters), Emergency Services, Food and Gardening.

- reducing the 1% Club to twenty minutes, as there are so few quiz questions and far too much banter.

- all streaming services to be free on Sundays

- a new version of It’s A Knockout, with teams of politicians. This is mainly on the list because Ed Davey is very keen to participate, and because he imagines that a Lib Dem team might actually win.

Buy your election air fresheners now!

Are you finding the election coverage a bit stuffy? Is something irritating you? Does something not smell quite right?

You need our special pack of election air fresheners!

We have six different kinds:

The dark blue one – this is our strongest air freshener. Poo on beaches, the awful smell of ill people you get in hospitals, burning cladding, the morning-after-the-partygate-before smell, the whiff of arrogant hypocracy – this super strong air freshener will deal with all of this, and more.

The red one – this one doesn’t smell of anything at all.  You can sniff as hard as you like.   Some people think that they can detect a very subtle scent, but they’re kidding themselves.  It smells of absolutely nothing.

The green one – this is a glorious combination of smells – pine, the inside of your recycling bin, bat poo.  All with the exciting tang of LGBTQ+.  It definitely doesn’t smell of carbon dioxide.

The light blue one – not a subtle fragrance – exactly the opposite, in fact.   People tell us that the aroma changes according to your location.  Sometimes it smells of pavements cleaned with disinfectant.  Sometimes it smells of beer (usually a pint of bitter).   Sometimes it smells of opportunism.  Sometimes it smells just like the dark blue one.

The scottish one – this one smells of heather, thistles, aberdeen angus cattle, sporrans that have been aged in oak barrels, and batter.   Why not buy one for your motorhome?

The yellowy-orange one – this one smells of small children laughing in the playground.   It’s a light-hearted aroma, not a serious one.  Perhaps this scent would work best in combination with one of the others?

All six for fifty quid, because our generosity nose no bounds.   GB only.  Not available in Northern Ireland.  Not a toy.  Keep away from children (not a warning, just advice).  Offer ends 4th July 2024.
