Also made me smile, @OmarNajam's pinned tweet:
*teacher sees students sharing a note*
Teacher: why don’t you read that out loud Student: [reading note] Dear teacher, this is an intervention.
Your methods of discipline via public humiliation are uninspired carbon copies of Hollywood tropes.
We wrote this letter as a class...

If it's not the EU, it's skiving immigrants; or Bolshie Unions; or sex-rings in suburbia; or footballers wives or Corbyn..... - and when they really get desperate boot-licking articles & photos of royals to distract; anything but print articles about real life.
Don't forget this IS the newspaper that in 1933 published articles praising Hitler and his NSDAP.
Note the name of the 'journalist' - imo that IS fake.

I understand ''freedom of speech'' but is it really allowed to print lies ? Don't they have to back up their stories ?
Having said that, I never understood why eggs are sold by 6 or 12

)On that note - I often miss the Weekly World News. At least it was both self-aware and actually entertaining. I know there's a web version, but it's not the same.
