Outrage at formation of new Rant Party


ree

An endless stream of invective has greeted news of the formation of this new British political party. The criticism has been universal, coming from long-established groups like the Disgusted Party, based in Tunbridge Wells as well as new ones like the Tirade Party.


And it's not just political parties which have objected. Other groups like the Just-Stop-Stopping-Things and the Oh-No-Not-You-Too campaign have organised protests. Among the most threatening are the We're-Not-Quite-Sure-What-This-Is-About-But-We-All-Enjoy-A-Good-Riot-So-Lets-Just-Smash-Things-And-Set-Fire-To-Them. This has led to even more violent action by the Keep-It-Short-Attack-Everyone Anarchist Commando.


Even more middle-of-the-road parties like Moderate UK, the We're-Not-Sure party and an uncertain number of broadly similar groups have issued a joint statement, more-or-less saying something like 'Have you really thought this through? Are you absolutely sure this is a good idea?'. Similar statements from the Procrastination Party are expected in due course but nothing has been heard from the Silent Majority and it is not expected that any statement will be forthcoming from the No Comment Collective.




Conservative MPs sue Party for PTSD after Question Time appearances


ree

Dave (not his real name) is a Conservative MP. He told NewsBiscuit about the terrors of being sent “over the top” onto Question Time: ‘It’s horrific. You’ve got ten, maybe twelve backbenchers who owe favours or we’re in the shit for something – usually sexual. It’s like the First World War trenches, only with bigger rats.


‘The whips are right bastards. There’s one, I can’t think of him without shuddering, he just walks down the line making eye contact until you lower your eyes. Then you feel a hand on your shoulder and it’s your turn’.


Jenny (not her real name) is a junior minister: ‘They make you face the public. The actual public. Even from twenty, thirty feet away they smell. Not as bad as the rivers, obvs, but it’s still horrid. Who’d have thought people would be so upset about a bit of shit being pumped into their rivers 850 times a day?’


As soon as Question Time ends the Conservative cannon fodder is whisked away to a treatment centre. An undercover journalist working for NewsBiscuit infiltrated the centre posing as a care worker. What she saw was heartbreaking. ‘There was this old chap, must have been respectable once, just rocking back and forth, rubbing his knees and crying silently. Tears streaming down his face but no sound emerging. It was chilling.


‘Those are referred to as ‘the wets’. Don’t know why. There’s a separate wing – Darwin - where the others hang out. That’s party central – booze, drugs, music. The ones who can hack it, who actually enjoy the abuse – they’re the future of the Party. They’re assessed by psychiatrists and if they score high in the psychopath tests they’re promoted at the next reshuffle. God knows what the party will be like after a few more rounds of Darwinism’.


Charles Darwin was unavailable for comment. He’s dead, apparently. Wet.
