HUMOUR: Brexiters and Remainers call a Christmas truce (don't read if you're easily offended / triggered)

BREXITERS and remainers set aside their differences yesterday for a festive football match which then descended into a foul mouthed argument.

The two teams emerged from behind their computer screens around midday to shake hands and sing carols before the friendly kick about.

Remainer Tom Logan said: “The tweets and the Facebook posts fell silent. We climbed out of our entrenched views, looked into the face of the enemy and realised that they are just like us after all.

“But then there was a disputed free kick and one of the Brexiters called me a ‘remoaner’ and I said that the very fact that Brexiters invented the word ‘remoaner’ proves what complete fucking imbeciles they really are.

“Then the Brexiter said that half of our team probably wasn’t even British and I called him a fat, Nazi bastard.”

All 22 players then scurried back home to their laptops to continue insulting each other.

I wonder if John Lewis will make a Christmas advert about it in 2037 and we’ll all ‘ahhhhhh’ over it as we wipe a small tear from our eye and complain about the commercialism of Christmas?

Just wondering how many times I've been reported.

I should add, I didn't write it. Copied and pasted from a friend.

..and why should anyone report this?
Oh I see - for using adult language on an adult site?
Yep! That makes perfect sense to me {grin]grin

There is nothing funny or witty about the post.

Didn’t seem very funny to me I m afraid I m not sitting cracking my sides but hey ho whatever turns you on mind you didn’t find it offensive either just sort of a bit bland maybe that’s what it’s supposed to be

I thought it was funny, we need some humour on GN about politics.

GagaJo Why add that? Seems like you're expecting retribution from the po-faced brigade despite the friendly OP advice;
don't read if you're easily offended / triggered

You may have noticed, or maybe not, that I held back on the Holy Day, pauses to readjust halo, but thank you for taking some of the nay-sayers off my back! grin
Btw; Have you given up on democratic China?
