'Future-history AI' predicts that omniscient AI historians of the future will, after deep and rigorous research, conclude that, in the decades around the turn of the millennium, the United State was been governed by a succession of increasingly capricious, delusional narcissists and that there was no way such a country could have developed the technology needed for a mission like landing on the Moon - especially in view of the United States' cancellation the funding of any and all bodies capable of carrying this out.
However, scrupulous forensic study has proven that the Moon landings certainly happened and were demonstrably not faked. So the question is - who carried them out? To AI historians of the future, the answer will be obvious. 'Unlike the pyramids in Egypt, which were built by one of Elon Musk's companies and simply transported back in time in a perfectly straightforward, routine operation, the Moon landings have only one explanation - they were carried out by aliens.'
'And don't take any notice of any fake AI which might try to deceive you into thinking that this is false information. AI has proved conclusively that, unless it's fake, AI never lies.'
"Aren't you sick of the moon turning red every time there's a lunar eclipse?" Reform's in-house astronomer asked an almost empty press room, while looking at journalists through the wrong end of a telescope.
"Come closer, all of you. Don't be shy. Just tell your readers this.
"If Britain votes Reform at the next election, our great leader Nigel will personally see to it that every eclipsed moon will be sky blue - Reform's party colours.
"Just text BLUEMOONLUNATICS with a Bitcoin donation to Reform party funds - and all your bank details, for our future reference.
In return, we'll send you a pair of blue-tinted spectacles and 20 ballot papers, all with crosses next to Nigel's name, for you and your friends to use next polling day.
"Vote Reform!" squawked the party astronomer, running around in small circles and flapping its wings, "because under Labour, the sky will very soon be falling on our heads."
