Some "Daily Mash" spoofs

The Daily Mash has been amusing themselves since the election with various spoof articles about why the election went the way it did and how various people have supposedly reacted.

Most of the links on this page, except the one to the Roberts article in the Telegraph, direct to sites with strong language not suitable for children or the easily offended.

Perhaps my favourite of the Daily Mash articles over the last few days concerned a suggested replacement for the Labour party.

The article is called "New party for socialist misanthropes a hit" and begins

"MEMBERSHIP has surged for a new party for left-wingers who want to help the ordinary people they absolutely despise."

Joking aside, it is high time we on the right made much more about how much many of those who describe themselves as progressive or socialists hate actual poor people (as opposed to some fantasy ideal of them.)

There is a slightly more serious suggestion (it might be more accurate to call it a more subtle wind-up) by Andrew Roberts in the Telegraph that the Labour party should wind itself up.

The Daily Mash also have great fun with the gap between what voters told pollsters and how they actually voted here and in a piece called  "Lying to opinion pollsters is great fun say voters."

Their explanation of why Nigel Farage's resignation as leader of UKIP was not accepted was that

"The party rejected Farage's resignation after looking at its' other options and deciding they were too frightening."
Supposedly "A UKIP spokesman said: 'Everyone else in the running looked like something from the Star Wars cantina. There was strong grass roots support for ‘Beast’, the man-like carnivore that inhabits the basement of UKIP HQ and is fed on a diet of illegal foreigners. ... '

The Daily Mash also suggest that the Human Rights Act is to be replaced with the Warhammer 40K rulebook.

There is a whole host of entries about the Labour party: from what Ed Miliband supposedly thinks of his brother's comments on his campaign and how the Blairite standard bearer for the Labour leadership,  Liz Kendall is planning to publicly punch Britain's last coal miner; to the ironic suggestion that, quote,

"CHUKA Umunna has pulled out of Labour’s leadership contest in horror at the press’s unprecedented willingness to be unpleasant about him."

After all, "Nobody ever said anything mean about Ed Miliband says Chuka Umunna."

No, surely not!
