THE NIGGLE<br />

SATIRE AND CARTOONS TO ANNOY THE HUMOUR POLICE<br />

Balanced reporting on a<br />

mainly peaceful protest


THE NIGGLE<br />

WHO TO CONTACT:<br />

<strong>Niggle</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> is an online,<br />

satirical publication that<br />

comes out four times a year<br />

and is produced by a small<br />

team of European writers and<br />

an African cartoonist (Look at<br />

us, how diverse are we, how<br />

diverse are we!). It is put<br />

together at various internet<br />

cafes and free wifi hotspots<br />

across London, UK. Email<br />

nigglemagazine@protonmail.<br />

com or check out Twitter at<br />

@nigglemagazine. But please<br />

don’t tell us we’re not funny<br />

because then we’ll have to go<br />

away and rethink our sense of<br />

humour. And that wouldn’t do.<br />

Our magazine is free. Visit<br />

www.nigglemagazine.com for<br />

more gubbins.<br />

And if you want to advertise<br />

with us then please email<br />

us for ad rates. Ads can link<br />

to your website. Imagine that!<br />

Full-page, half-page and<br />

quarter-page space available -<br />

but you must provide artwork.<br />

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE<br />

BEEN SAYING ABOUT<br />

OUR MAGAZINE:<br />

‘Speaking as an end of<br />

the world Extinction<br />

Rebellion moonbeam with<br />

a falafel and a drum, your<br />

comic provided a valuable<br />

source of laughter while<br />

we were building our Ark<br />

for the apocalypse.’<br />

‘Speaking as a man who<br />

has missed his period<br />

this month, keep up the<br />

good work.’<br />

Stop<br />

showing<br />

off<br />

2020: It’s a dream, yeah?<br />

Well, what a year. It has all been some<br />

sort of strange dream hasn’t it?<br />

And to think we all thought that Covid<br />

would be the only story in 2020. But oh<br />

no. A whole heap of assorted nonsense<br />

has kicked off. Mainly caused by rich,<br />

spoilt Westerners with no real problems.<br />

Certainly not compared with poor people<br />

across the globe.<br />

<strong>The</strong> best way to stay sane is to turn off<br />

the news and do something else. Or you<br />

can just observe, let it all wash over you,<br />

and simply make fun of it all - which is<br />

this magazine’s approach.<br />

So, what’s in our Autumn issue. Well,<br />

we’ve got some great new cartoon strips:<br />

Butch Lesbian and the Sundance Kid -<br />

following the adventures of a gay activist<br />

in Wild West America; and Planet Woke<br />

- looking into the near future to a black<br />

and white world devoid of humour and<br />

nuance. And we’ve also got a hot off the<br />

presses report on the discovery of the<br />

Dead Sea Pronouns - ancient parchments,<br />

recently found in caves, which prove there<br />

were also 378 genders in biblical times.<br />

We’ve also been getting a lot of<br />

supportive comments on Twitter, as well<br />

as lots of people wanting to help us out<br />

financially (see below), which is great.<br />

So, until next time, enjoy.<br />

Ed.<br />

Our magazine is totally free and we intend<br />

to keep it that way. But, at the moment,<br />

we lose money on every issue because<br />

of online running costs and paying our<br />

contributors.<br />

So, we have set up a PayPal donate<br />

link for anyone wishing to support our ‘if<br />

it’s funny, it’s funny’ cause. Just click the<br />

button at the end of this article and donate<br />

as much, or as little, as you’d like.<br />

Even donating the price of a cup of<br />

coffee will buy us a cup of coffee. And<br />

that would be lovely.<br />

And our elderly proprietor Sir Norbert,<br />

who is only just back from fighting in the<br />

Boer War after taking a wrong turning just<br />

outside Todmorden, will be most grateful.<br />

So why not join <strong>The</strong> Apostolic Holy<br />

Order of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Niggle</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>? We’ll<br />

even give you a title based on your Twitter<br />

name (unless you want to be anonymous)<br />

which you are welcome to use when you<br />

PROPAGANDA:<br />

Some recent tweets to<br />

promote our lowly rag:<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Niggle</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>...<br />

We’re all in the gutter, but some<br />

of us are looking at the gutter.<br />

3.5% funnier than the BBC’s<br />

comedy output.<br />

Just give me one tangible<br />

benefit of reading our magazine.<br />

Go on. You can’t, can you.<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

DEAD SEA PRONOUNS<br />

WASHING HANDS: <strong>The</strong> UK<br />

Government has issued advice<br />

to residents concerned about the<br />

increase in gun and knife crime,<br />

statues being defaced and pulled<br />

down, and organised disorder and<br />

violence in major cities. In an<br />

urgent press conference, aimed at<br />

reassuring the public, the Prime<br />

Minister said: “Our advice is this.<br />

Wash your hands. Social distance<br />

by staying two metres apart. Use<br />

hand sanitiser.” When a journalist<br />

asked what specific advice the<br />

PM would give to an old person<br />

scared to go into the town centre<br />

because of protests and riots,<br />

he replied: “Wash your hands.<br />

Stay two metres apart. Use hand<br />

sanitiser.”<br />

PRESS TRAINING: A new<br />

honours degree in journalism is on<br />

offer at universities across the UK<br />

in response to more young people<br />

hoping to enter the profession.<br />

<strong>The</strong> three-year course looks in<br />

detail at everything a budding<br />

writer needs to know to become a<br />

successful journalist today.<br />

<strong>The</strong> four modules are:<br />

1. Look at Twitter all day.<br />

2. Find a handful of people who<br />

are outraged by something that<br />

you are also outraged about.<br />

3. Blow it out of all proportion<br />

and write a 600-word story.<br />

4. Repeat the above throughout<br />

your career.<br />

Applications are now open.<br />

PEANUT BRAIN: 2020 has<br />

been renamed Chinese Year of the<br />

Peanut Brain. <strong>The</strong> decision was<br />

made by Chinese authorities after<br />

watching the behaviour of people<br />

across the globe over the past<br />

few months. A spokesman said:<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re have been a hell of a lot<br />

of people - leaders of countries,<br />

and also in the general population<br />

- who have, by their statements<br />

or actions, shown that they<br />

actually have a very small peanut<br />

instead of a brain. So we think it<br />

is important to honour this fact by<br />

changing Year of the Rat to Year<br />

of the Peanut Brain.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dead Sea Pronouns,<br />

inset, were found in<br />

these Judaean caves<br />

Archaeologists find<br />

Dead Sea Pronouns<br />

Ancient scrolls show there were<br />

also 378 genders in biblical times<br />

<strong>The</strong> LGBTQ+ community expressed<br />

excitement this week following the<br />

discovery of ancient parchments from<br />

the first century AD listing hundreds of<br />

genders still used today.<br />

<strong>The</strong> scrolls - which are currently being<br />

authenticated by archaeologists - were<br />

discovered inside caves in the Judaean<br />

desert by Bedouin shepherds.<br />

Although they are thought to be almost<br />

2,000 years old, the parchments clearly<br />

show a long list of 378 gender pronouns<br />

Government declares racism ‘racist’<br />

Racists reacted with dismay this week<br />

after racism was declared ‘racist’.<br />

White supremacist groups<br />

issued a collective groan, and<br />

then a statement, in response<br />

to the UK Government’s<br />

announcement on Monday.<br />

Group spokesman Adolf<br />

Hitler said: “It has gone too<br />

far now. I understand that things<br />

‘Leeway’<br />

including Ze, Zir, Hir, Ve, Vir and Viz.<br />

Queer theory student Jennifer<br />

Binky-Binkerton said the discovery was<br />

“absolutlah fantarrrstuck”.<br />

She said: “<strong>The</strong> fact that ancient people at<br />

the time of Jesus were enlightened enough<br />

to know and record all their pronouns is<br />

incredible. <strong>The</strong>y were being persecuted for<br />

their beliefs and being nailed to crosses,<br />

but they still recognised what was really<br />

important in life. Addressing someone as<br />

‘Xem’, for instance.”<br />

such as sombreros and maracas should<br />

be banned in the current climate -<br />

you know, cultural<br />

appropriation and all that -<br />

but ‘racism’. Come on!”<br />

Mr Hitler said he would be<br />

pushing the Government to<br />

at least let him “just hate the<br />

Jews”. “A bit of leeway would<br />

be nice,” he said.<br />

CHAMPERS HAMPER<br />

KKK and NF send champagne<br />

to BLM for race war success<br />

Thanks for completing what<br />

we could not, say far-right<br />

groups to Black Lives Matter<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ku Klux Klan and the National<br />

Front have sent hampers containing<br />

champagne, Swiss chocolates and<br />

cut flowers to Black Lives Matter<br />

organisers to say thank you for<br />

provoking a race war.<br />

Klansman ‘Big’ Billy ‘Whitey’<br />

Whitemann said he will be forever<br />

grateful to BLM for finishing what<br />

the KKK started.<br />

He said: “Of course we’ve had our<br />

successes in the past of pitting whites<br />

against blacks, but recently we’ve<br />

taken our eye off the ball.<br />

“Thank the Lord that BLM came<br />

along when they did to put race<br />

relations back 30 years.<br />

“We can now just let them get<br />

on with it, while we concentrate on<br />

flouncing about in pointy hats.”<br />

Trainee slave owners<br />

‘will now reconsider’<br />

Vast support for slavery vanishes<br />

after Bristol statue is pulled down<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

People in Bristol who were hoping to<br />

become slave owners have said they’ll<br />

“think again” after the statue of Edward<br />

Colston was pulled down by protesters.<br />

<strong>The</strong> monument to the former merchant<br />

and MP, who was involved in the Atlantic<br />

slave trade 340 years ago, was toppled and<br />

pushed into Bristol harbour in June.<br />

One resident of the town said, “It’s really<br />

made a difference. During the early part<br />

of this year, you couldn’t move for people<br />

who wanted to bring back slavery - the<br />

town was chock-a-block with ‘em. But<br />

with the statue coming down, all that has<br />

changed.”<br />

Another said: “All my life I’ve wanted<br />

to be a slave owner. I was all set to post<br />

my application to study it at university<br />

and everything. But as soon as the Colston<br />

statue was toppled - wham! It really hit me<br />

in the face that slavery wasn’t such a good<br />

thing after all.”<br />

LEAVE ME ALONE: A human<br />

statue street entertainer has said<br />

he’s tired of being pulled over by<br />

protesters. He said: “I’ve been<br />

toppled 17 times by mobs shouting<br />

‘cultural appropriation’. I’m<br />

wearing a Mexican hat, but I’m a<br />

bloody Mexican. Leave me be.”<br />

Rapist didn’t wear covid mask<br />

A rapist has come under fire this week<br />

after it emerged he was not wearing a<br />

mask while carrying out his crimes.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sexual predator has been<br />

labelled “uncaring” and<br />

“selfish” by many people in<br />

the community who have<br />

been sticking to Covid social<br />

distancing rules and wearing<br />

face coverings to protect others<br />

from getting the virus.<br />

One resident said: “I don’t know<br />

how he gets away with it, to be honest.<br />

<strong>The</strong> vast majority of people are sticking<br />

to the covid rules, but this<br />

fella thinks he can flout those<br />

rules when he’s out and about<br />

doing what he does. It’s really<br />

terrible.”<br />

Another said: “I’m not a<br />

snitch, so I don’t want to report<br />

him, but it’s not good enough.”<br />

BEGUM TIME: Shamima<br />

Begum has been announced as<br />

presenter of the BBC’s Question<br />

Time programme. Begum, the<br />

British-born woman who left the<br />

UK to join Islamic State, will<br />

replace Fiona Bruce at the helm<br />

of the show if problems over her<br />

citizenship can be resolved. A<br />

Question Time spokesman said:<br />

“We are pleased to announce<br />

Shamima as our new presenter.<br />

<strong>The</strong> BBC has always championed<br />

diversity and inclusivity, and,<br />

apparently, she’s an absolute joy<br />

to work with. And to any critics of<br />

this decision, let’s not let a little<br />

thing like supporting a murderous<br />

group responsible for beheadings<br />

and ethnic cleansing stand in the<br />

way of inclusion and vibrancy.<br />

RIOT FOR PEACE: A riot for<br />

world peace has been planned for<br />

next month in London. Rioters are<br />

set to gather in Trafalgar Square<br />

with the intention of looting and<br />

destroying shops and screaming<br />

at anyone not joining in - pressing<br />

home the message of “kindness<br />

and caring for fellow human<br />

beings”. One organiser said: “We<br />

are rioting for love and decency.<br />

And fuck any piece of scum that<br />

doesn’t join in.”<br />

BAD APPLES<br />

CBS report: Atomic bomb on<br />

Hiroshima ‘mainly peaceful’<br />

A peaceful day,<br />

until a few bad<br />

apples did this<br />

CBS has been criticised this week after<br />

it described the day of the devastating<br />

bombing of Hiroshima as “mainly<br />

peaceful”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> American network’s evening<br />

news report - which was looking back<br />

at the deadly explosion of August 1945,<br />

which killed and seriously<br />

injured hundreds of thousands of<br />

people - stated that “the day was<br />

spoiled by a few bad apples who just<br />

happened to have an atomic bomb”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> report added: “Everyone seems<br />

to forget the peaceful few hours leading<br />

up to the bombing when there was little<br />

or no trouble.”<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

NEWS FLASH: An unexplained,<br />

cosmic, electrical flash which<br />

left humanity unable to speak or<br />

broadcast the words ‘women’,<br />

‘diversity’ and ‘Ranganathan’ has<br />

left the BBC’s output in tatters.<br />

Large swathes of BBC Radio 4’s<br />

listings were left blank this week<br />

following the galactic event, with<br />

television news and drama also<br />

feeling the hit. TV planners said<br />

they had to resort to showing old<br />

repeats of shows from the 1970s<br />

and 80s from Monty Python,<br />

Spike Milligan and Dave Allen.<br />

One viewer, who wanted to<br />

remain anonymous, said: “Thank<br />

f*ck for that.”<br />

It’s yer woke joke checker<br />

We all like to hear a good joke,<br />

that’s a given. But is the joke<br />

you’re being told woke enough?<br />

Well, we can help. Before laughing<br />

at a joke, check this list before<br />

making your chuckling sound:<br />

1. Does the joke contain a diverse<br />

mix of people? Ideally, one from<br />

each continent - a sort of United<br />

Nations of humour.<br />

2. Are there any sexual or racial<br />

stereotypes involved?<br />

3. Did the joke-teller put on a funny<br />

foreign accent for comic effect?<br />

Beware, as this may be what’s<br />

known as cultural appropriation.<br />

4. Did the joke-teller say any words<br />

or phrases that could be seen as<br />

microaggressions?<br />

Only when you have meticulously<br />

examined all the points on the list,<br />

may you then proceed to the laugh<br />

stage. And don’t forget to enjoy<br />

yourself!<br />

ZE SPAKE: Christians were<br />

given a holy blow this week after<br />

God revealed he would like to be<br />

referred to by the gender pronoun<br />

‘Ze’. <strong>The</strong> Supreme Being, who<br />

previously was always spoken<br />

of using ‘He’ or ‘His’, revealed<br />

the preference to members of a<br />

small Baptist church in Ohio on<br />

Tuesday. One churchgoer said:<br />

“Ze spake, we listened.”<br />

Fatima under Covid<br />

Death rates are falling so there’s no need<br />

for a silly face covering, says our reporter<br />

Who would have thought that in<br />

the year 2020 we’d all be walking<br />

around wearing face coverings?<br />

It’s unbelievable in this so-called<br />

modern age.<br />

Listen, I’m no Covid denier, so<br />

fair enough when the virus hit its<br />

peak, but death rates have now<br />

dramatically fallen. Why are we<br />

still having to cover our faces?<br />

<strong>The</strong>se masks are making us look<br />

ridiculous. I would say they make<br />

us look like letterboxes but that<br />

would be Covidist.<br />

But at the very least it’s turning<br />

us into subservient clones that all<br />

look the same.<br />

<strong>The</strong> government needs to see<br />

sense and put an end to all this<br />

nonsense. Stop it!<br />

We lose money on<br />

every issue, so even<br />

donating the price of a<br />

cup of coffee will buy<br />

us a cup of coffee. And<br />

that would be lovely.<br />

OUR ELDERLY PROPRIETOR SIR NORBERT<br />

BBC shovel used<br />

to dig own grave<br />

<strong>The</strong> actual spade used by the BBC to dig<br />

its own grave is coming up for auction in<br />

London this month.<br />

<strong>The</strong> stainless steel shovel, known in the<br />

corporation as ‘Old Wokey’, is expected<br />

to fetch a nice price when it goes under<br />

the hammer soon.<br />

Camilla de Twislington, head of garden<br />

tools at auctioneer Rice-Christies said:<br />

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to<br />

get your hands on this - the actual shovel<br />

used when the BBC was commissioning<br />

all the programmes that nobody wanted<br />

to watch, such as Wokefest At <strong>The</strong> Apollo<br />

and Have I Got Flogging A Dead Horse<br />

For You.<br />

“I think this item is going to be<br />

extremely popular. We’ve put a reserve<br />

price of £27 on it.”<br />

Brace yersens . . . it’s Sir Norbert’s bit<br />

Pinkos, Dr Wokealism and<br />

half a ton of Uncle Achmeds<br />

“If you want to know what is causing<br />

any given problem in Britain,” Bunty<br />

Fitch-Felchiman said to me in the<br />

saloon bar of the Thrashers Arms,<br />

Bladder (my village - as in, I own<br />

it), “it’s either some Oxbridge pinko<br />

who’s been on University Challenge<br />

or else half a ton of Uncle Achmeds.”<br />

After telling Bunty he’d committed<br />

a public order offence, I went on to<br />

say the Middle Eastern contingent<br />

had been doing rather well. At one<br />

time they were subject to many<br />

jokes and much veiled animus. Dr<br />

Wokealism - my pet name for Tony<br />

Blair - prescribed us a massive dose<br />

from all corners of the world and, in<br />

an odd way, it worked out well for<br />

some communities because the new<br />

uns seemed rather “old school”. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

went back awhile, almost traditional,<br />

and we all love an onion bhaji.<br />

Bunty baulked at this but I<br />

persisted. Nowadays it’s boats<br />

fleeing wartorn France and<br />

turning the Channel into a pikey<br />

version of Henley Regatta.<br />

Trouble was, under<br />

Blair, while everyone<br />

was getting annoyed<br />

about Eastern European immigrants,<br />

Uncle Achmed started blowing people<br />

up and growing a beard and getting<br />

very cross about things. A PR misstep.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n it turned out quite a few of<br />

them liked hanging round kebab shops<br />

and kidnapping young girls. I said to<br />

Bunty, nobody minded when I used<br />

to do that sort of thing in my Austin<br />

Healey 3000 in the Kings Road in<br />

1965, fnarr! That’s how I met Lady<br />

Winifred. Still married after 70 years.<br />

But I digress. <strong>The</strong>se characters were<br />

described in court as the Pakistani<br />

Heritage Men, which is a first class<br />

name for a trad jazz band if you ask<br />

me. <strong>The</strong> BBC tried to keep off the<br />

subject but it got out.<br />

Anyway, their countrymen are<br />

back in the news because a passion<br />

for crowds may have caused a rise<br />

in Covid in midland and northern<br />

cities. “<strong>The</strong>y can’t win, can they,”<br />

I told Bunty. “It’s because they<br />

don’t drink,’ said Bunty. “Eight<br />

pints of Old Thrasher - taken<br />

orally or rubbed on the skin -<br />

will sort out the kung flu.”<br />

And there, dear readers,<br />

the matter rests.<br />

Taliban delegation sent to UK<br />

to get tips on trashing statues<br />

A joint Taliban and Islamic State delegation<br />

have travelled to the UK to get advice on<br />

statue demolition and defilement of war<br />

memorials.<br />

A spokesman said: “It’s been almost 20<br />

years since we blew up the Buddha statues in<br />

Afghanistan. We’ve had a few successes since,<br />

such as the ancient city of Palmyra, but our<br />

desecration skills have got a bit ropey recently.<br />

“Hopefully we can learn a few things from<br />

mobs in the UK to take back with us to the<br />

Middle East.”<br />

A group of women from Afghanistan,<br />

whose husbands have threatened them<br />

with violence when they return home, have<br />

made their way to Britain to join a Western<br />

feminist protest for a female James Bond.<br />

<strong>The</strong> friends, who have to live every day<br />

in a country where abuse against women is<br />

rarely criminalised, said the campaign for a<br />

female James Bond was “just too important<br />

to ignore”.<br />

One woman, who has suffered years of<br />

abuse, said: “Coming from a country where<br />

women are treated appallingly, we felt<br />

we had to show our support to yet<br />

another instance of women being treated<br />

appallingly: namely the fact that a woman<br />

hasn’t yet been picked to play the male<br />

character of James Bond.<br />

“Even though my husband is likely to<br />

beat me very harshly when I return home,<br />

I felt I just had to make my way to the UK<br />

this week to support this worthy cause.<br />

“Rich, Western feminists suffer too you<br />

know. Imagine switching on the TV in a<br />

year’s time and nothing has changed - Bond<br />

is still a man. We can’t ignore this.”<br />

VIRUS HORSESHOE: Nailing<br />

a rusty old horseshoe to your door<br />

is to be made compulsory as it has<br />

been found to be more effective in<br />

Covid 19 protection than wearing<br />

a mask. <strong>The</strong> government brought<br />

in the rule after extensive testing<br />

showed that having the lucky<br />

charm on the outside of a house<br />

was three times more effective<br />

than a mask at blocking the virus.<br />

A spokesman said that “clutching<br />

a lucky rabbit’s foot and pinning<br />

a piece of heather to your lapel”<br />

were also under consideration.<br />

<strong>The</strong> group of women, who asked to remain<br />

anonymous, on the female Bond march<br />

Strongmen lower alt-right bar<br />

A team of champion weightlifters have<br />

been hired to move the far-right bar<br />

even lower.<br />

Although what is considered racist<br />

already includes saying ‘you want<br />

all races and religions to mix and get<br />

along with no discrimination’ and that<br />

‘all lives matter equally’, it was felt<br />

by some that the bar needed moving<br />

even more, to include things such as<br />

‘not talking about woke <strong>issues</strong> at every<br />

available opportunity’.<br />

<strong>The</strong> seven-man team are in position,<br />

and are set to move the bar tomorrow.<br />

BLACKMAN BLUNDER: <strong>The</strong><br />

Black Lives Matter group have<br />

blamed “an administrative error”<br />

after they erected a statue of the<br />

actress Honor Blackman instead<br />

of “honouring a black man”.<br />

Friends of the actress - famous<br />

for her role as Pussy Galore in the<br />

James Bond film Goldfi nger -<br />

said she would have been flattered<br />

by the memorial, had she<br />

still been alive today. A BLM<br />

spokesman said they left the<br />

statue organisation to someone<br />

known as “Dim Duggie” who<br />

“obviously couldn’t spell ‘honour’<br />

and gave the wrong information to<br />

the stonemasons”. He added: “At<br />

least it now gives us something<br />

else to pull down.”<br />

PROBLEMATIC: Readers who<br />

SLACK WIVES MATTER<br />

Aglow: A typical sex worker<br />

doing typical sex things at a<br />

typical sex parlour and lap<br />

dancing emporium for typical<br />

fans of jiggling and hookers<br />

Prostitutes’ husbands<br />

launch Slack Wives<br />

Matter campaign<br />

‘Say it loud, I’m slack and I’m proud’<br />

<strong>The</strong> partners of a bunch of Texan hookers<br />

have come together to launch a campaign<br />

following the controversial death of one<br />

of their wives - a lady known in<br />

the business as Crystal “Bag Of<br />

Chips” Bunter.<br />

Crystal’s husband claimed<br />

the giant floozy starved to<br />

death in police custody after<br />

only being given three bacon<br />

sandwiches, pictured, and two<br />

doughnuts a day, while in her cell<br />

awaiting trial for soliciting.<br />

Mr Bunter said: “You could see the<br />

difference in Crystal’s appearance over the<br />

week she was incarcerated. She went from<br />

30 stones to 29.8 stones in a very short<br />

space of time. And it showed. She was<br />

wasting away.”<br />

He said the campaign aimed<br />

not only to raise awareness<br />

of slack wives, but also to<br />

defund the police and bring<br />

down the capitalist system.<br />

“It is only through this<br />

campaign that we can end the<br />

barbaric police brutality that led to<br />

Crystal’s death,” he said.<br />

“So say it loud, I’m slack and I’m<br />

proud.”<br />

Let’s play baldness,<br />

skinhead or cancer?<br />

Which is it? Answer<br />

in our next issue<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

RACE CONFUSION: Ordinary<br />

members of the public have asked<br />

for clarity over whose lives matter<br />

the most. One commentator called<br />

for government guidelines to be<br />

published over where different<br />

races and genders stand in the<br />

current hierarchy. He said: “We<br />

all know that straight, white men<br />

are bottom of the list, that’s a<br />

given. But what about at the top?<br />

Does the life of a disabled Asian<br />

man beat that of a trans black<br />

woman? Or does a Chinese gay<br />

woman beat a Chilean non-binary<br />

homeless person. Could someone<br />

provide us with a league table.<br />

Until we know, we’re going to be<br />

in a right old pickle.”<br />

FEMINIST CONCESSION:<br />

A group of hardcore feminists<br />

have reluctantly admitted that<br />

men make better wife-beaters than<br />

women. <strong>The</strong> shock announcement<br />

came during a recent feminist<br />

debate titled Coccyx Masculinity -<br />

It’s In <strong>The</strong>ir Bones, when the main<br />

speaker Morwenna de Chetwynd<br />

conceded that men are ‘far better<br />

at domestic violence’. Despite the<br />

lifelong belief by many delegates<br />

at the event that women are equal<br />

to men in absolutely everything,<br />

the motion was carried by a margin<br />

of 271 votes to 269.<br />

TANGIBLE BENEFITS: <strong>The</strong><br />

Prime Minister’s announcement<br />

that all UK citizens over the age<br />

of 18 will be given a year’s supply<br />

of hookers and blow, to help them<br />

deal with the ups and downs of<br />

Brexit, has been met with the<br />

question, “But just give me one<br />

tangible benefit of leaving the<br />

EU”, by some Remainers.<br />

Josh Cunningham, who voted to<br />

stay in the European Union at the<br />

last referendum, told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Niggle</strong><br />

<strong>Magazine</strong> during an online chat<br />

that he could see absolutely no<br />

advantages to leaving the EU.<br />

Sticking his head out from under<br />

a pile of prostitutes, while puffing<br />

from a crack pipe, he said: “Just<br />

give me one tangible benefit of<br />

leaving. Go on. You can’t.”<br />

Thawing the Sleet Generation<br />

Welcome to our Winter edition. This<br />

quite Snowflakes but are halfway there.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re only partly offended by things.<br />

yourselves! It’s OK to laugh at things<br />

Jokes and satire don’t come from hate,<br />

just from a sense of fun and not taking<br />

life too seriously. And to be honest, we<br />

need you. We need you on board. Half<br />

the World has currently gone insane.<br />

Further crackdowns on freedom of<br />

speech are inevitable. So, come on you<br />

Sleets. Thaw out a bit more, let your hair<br />

down and enjoy life. And – apart from<br />

the real Nazis – it’s OK to be friends<br />

with people who have a different political<br />

opinion to you. It’s fine. Laugh, debate,<br />

take the piss, and laugh again.<br />

THE NIGGLE MAGAZINE<br />

Two men died after blowing<br />

themselves up as they<br />

drove this car into revellers<br />

along a crowded street.<br />

It’s an outrage, say health<br />

and safety campaigners.<br />

Campaigners push for<br />

suicide bombers union<br />

Large number of workplace deaths<br />

is scandalous, says safety group<br />

Calls for the suicide bombing industry to<br />

be unionised have gathered pace after a<br />

new study showed there were far<br />

too many people dying while<br />

carrying out their duties.<br />

Safety group Save Our<br />

Jihadis said it was scandalous<br />

that the profession was still<br />

doing very little to ensure the<br />

safety of its members.<br />

Group president Camilla De<br />

Walli De Miller said: “It’s an accident<br />

waiting to happen, to be quite honest.<br />

“We’re urging all these zealots and<br />

maniacs to come together and<br />

unionise. Only a strong union<br />

can work towards creating<br />

better conditions and a more<br />

pleasant working environment<br />

for those who want to blow<br />

themselves up; and if we can<br />

save just one life then all our<br />

campaigning will have been worth<br />

it. Our motto is, ‘Explode, but save lives.’<br />

Bread not a virgin<br />

A man who claimed he could see the face of<br />

the Virgin Mary in a piece of bread has<br />

admitted he just poked two eyes and a<br />

smiley mouth in one side.<br />

Simon Peters, from North Yorkshire,<br />

said: “I had thousands of Catholics turning<br />

up to see it. Someone even claimed they saw<br />

angels above it. I mean, come on! It looks<br />

nothing like the Virgin Mary.”<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

VIOLENT KILLER: A criminal<br />

who identified as a law-abiding<br />

citizen as he viciously stabbed<br />

someone to death was allowed to<br />

walk free from court yesterday.<br />

Denzil Dinsdale plunged a knife<br />

into his victim 37 times but the<br />

judge accepted his claim that he<br />

identified as a good, decent person<br />

while committing his horrific<br />

attack. Lord Justice Antimacassar<br />

said: “We let people self identify<br />

their gender, so why not whether<br />

you’re a good person or not?”<br />

2020 REFUND: A man who tried<br />

to take 2020 back for a refund<br />

was not allowed to enter the shop<br />

because he was not wearing a<br />

mask. Maskless Jeff Hathersage<br />

said he’d had enough of 2020 and<br />

simply wanted his money back.<br />

He said: “I’d left my mask at<br />

home and they wouldn’t let me in.<br />

I’ll go back tomorrow.”<br />

GENERATION COVID: <strong>The</strong><br />

Covid-19 “lost generation” are to<br />

be honoured with a monument on<br />

Flanders Fields. <strong>The</strong> memorial will<br />

recognise the sacrifice of many<br />

young people who had to spend 9<br />

the Coronavirus lockdown.<br />

NON CRIME HATE: A police<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

A MYSTERY: A rich Western<br />

feminist who has spent the last 15<br />

years telling men how terrible they<br />

are says she has no idea why she is<br />

still single. Jessica Twillington,<br />

from the Womeeeeeen’s Equality<br />

Womankind Women’s Network for<br />

Women said: “No man seems to<br />

want to hang around for more than<br />

a few weeks. <strong>The</strong>y only want one<br />

thing: endless lectures from me on<br />

their toxic masculinity. And then<br />

they’re off. It’s really, really sad.”<br />

LITTLE OLD LADIES: A new<br />

progressive non-discriminatory<br />

policy to crack down on radical<br />

terrorists has seen an increase in<br />

police targeting little old ladies.<br />

About 3,000 little old ladies have<br />

been arrested and questioned in<br />

the UK over the past month. One<br />

little old lady, who did not want<br />

to be named, said: “I had just left<br />

the supermarket and I was about<br />

to nip to the post office when 11<br />

armed policemen turned up and<br />

bundled me into the back of a<br />

van. <strong>The</strong>y grilled me for hours.<br />

I’m an 89-year-old pensioner.<br />

BUILD BACK SHITTER: <strong>The</strong><br />

catchphrase used by a woman<br />

from Yorkshire has been adopted<br />

by World leaders rebuilding their<br />

countries after Covid. “Build<br />

Back Shitter” has been used by<br />

Mrs Doris Otheringshaw for years<br />

as she tried to get her husband<br />

Frank to build a shitter [toilet]<br />

in their back yard. Doris said: “I<br />

kept telling Frank, go on - build<br />

back shitter. Get it built! I never<br />

expected it to be adopted by the<br />

World Economic Forum.”<br />

Scientists: <strong>The</strong>re is only ONE gender<br />

Everyone in the World was left<br />

shocked this week following the<br />

discovery that gender is not a<br />

spectrum, nor is it binary.<br />

Researchers at Sneethsboro<br />

University, Wisconsin, said<br />

they realised the findings<br />

would be controversial and<br />

called for calm so people had<br />

time to digest and reflect.<br />

THE NIGGLE MAGAZINE<br />

Covid proves to be<br />

Wokest virus ever<br />

Corona only targets Trump rallies<br />

and lockdown protests - not Antifa<br />

Reports in the mainstream media seem to<br />

suggest that Covid 19 is the Wokest virus<br />

known to man - seemingly only spreading<br />

at lockdown marches and Donald Trump<br />

rallies, and not at Extinction Rebellion,<br />

BLM or Antifa protests.<br />

<strong>The</strong> coronavirus, lovingly known as “the<br />

Rona”, was thought to be passed on when<br />

people of all political persuasions crowded<br />

together, but apparently this is not the case,<br />

according to newspaper and TV reports.<br />

A report by one US newspaper on a<br />

Covid: It knows<br />

who’s marching<br />

Trump rally back in November stated:<br />

“Supporters ignored social distancing - and<br />

many of them WERE NOT WEARING<br />

MASKS!”<br />

But a story in the same newspaper,<br />

however, on an Antifa riot in Portland,<br />

said: “Protesters came together to push for<br />

progressive politics and justice. Despite a<br />

few bad apples torching large areas of the<br />

city, it was a generally peaceful day and<br />

everyone went home happy and healthy.”<br />

So there you go. Choose wisely.<br />

Head of the research unit, Franklin<br />

T Snooglespanner III, said: “<strong>The</strong>re<br />

are fewer genders than we all<br />

thought. For most people that<br />

means one fewer. And for the<br />

rainbow flag lot that means<br />

about 3,245 fewer. No one’s<br />

going to be happy.”<br />

He added that the one gender<br />

would be named ‘Leslie’.<br />

Hello<br />

I am emailing a number of people<br />

(politicians, etc) to get their answer to<br />

one simple question, which is:<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a view that people who support,<br />

or have supported, a ‘multicultural<br />

Britain’ should actually live in those<br />

areas/streets where multiculturalism<br />

has impacted the most (eg, areas of<br />

Bradford, Burnley, Luton, etc) to get a<br />

real sense of day-to-day life there.<br />

What does Mr Blair think about this<br />

view, and has he ever considered living<br />

in some of these areas himself?<br />

Many thanks<br />

Oldest virtue signalman<br />

hangs up his pronouns<br />

Morally-superior social justice warrior<br />

calls it a day after half-century career<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

Britain’s oldest virtue signalman Jeffrey<br />

Tibbs has called it a day after 50 years on<br />

the front line.<br />

Jeffrey first started signalling his virtue as<br />

an apprentice in 1970, gradually working<br />

his way up the career ladder to a fully<br />

qualified social justice warrior after only<br />

three years in the job.<br />

He said: “It was tough back in the early<br />

days. I mean, I was adopting the correct<br />

pronouns before anyone even knew there<br />

were 3,781 genders. And many of my work<br />

mates still thought the word ‘gay’ meant<br />

‘happy’. So I had a lot of educating to do.<br />

I did the work.”<br />

Jeffrey said that his work colleagues<br />

gradually came round to his way of thinking.<br />

He said: “Before long they were coming<br />

up with slogans such as ‘Refugees<br />

Welcome’. Well, welcome as long as the<br />

refugees didn’t move in next door of<br />

course!”<br />

COVID MASKS: <strong>The</strong> majority of<br />

people pushing for the wearing of<br />

face masks to be made law were<br />

found to be “extremely ugly” with<br />

a deep hatred of their own noses<br />

and mouths, a survey has found.<br />

Just over 99 per cent of those who<br />

said masks should be mandatory<br />

were described by pollsters as<br />

“vile, slimy, wretched, frightful,<br />

horrifying, alarming, disfigured,<br />

evil-looking, grotesque, hideous,<br />

monstrous, unlovely, unnatural,<br />

unpicturesque, unsightly and<br />

repulsive. Essentially a walking<br />

gargoyle.”<br />

Virtue signalman Jeffrey Tibbs at his old workplace<br />

It’s the homophobic Homophone<br />

A ‘homophobic’ musical instrument<br />

has provoked outrage after it came on<br />

to the market this month.<br />

Newspaper adverts for the<br />

Homophone - a keyboard<br />

instrument similar to the 16th<br />

century Harpsichord - state:<br />

“Express your dislike for the<br />

rainbow flag lot through the<br />

medium of music. Our new<br />

Homophone comes with a large<br />

collection of sheet music for many well<br />

known songs, including classics such as<br />

He’ll Be Bumming Round <strong>The</strong> Mountain,<br />

and Sitting On <strong>The</strong> Dock Of <strong>The</strong><br />

Gay.<br />

A spokesman for gay rights<br />

group Gay, Gay and Gay<br />

Again said: “How they can<br />

get away with it I don’t know.<br />

Although the song Another Gay<br />

In Paradise is actually quite good.”<br />

THEY COMBUSTED: A group<br />

of social justice warriors, who<br />

passionately believed that the<br />

actor Laurence Fox is a Nazi,<br />

spontaneously combusted earlier<br />

today after coming across a real<br />

Nazi. <strong>The</strong> group of university<br />

students - prone to shouting<br />

slogans at anyone with a different<br />

political opinion - were knocking<br />

on doors trying to sell Wokeism<br />

Today magazine, but things took<br />

a turn for the worse when they<br />

knocked on the door of one Jeff<br />

Hitler. One eyewitness said: “This<br />

fella opened the door dressed in a<br />

Nazi uniform quoting from Mein<br />

Kampf. And they all exploded.<br />

Couldn’t cope. Simple as that.”<br />

TANGIBLE BENEFITS: EU<br />

Remainers were left shocked and<br />

stunned this week after the UK<br />

government banned the phrase<br />

“one tangible benefit”. Remainer<br />

Emily Adonis-Blair said: “How<br />

on Earth are we able to have an<br />

argument with a Brexiteer, from<br />

now on? This new law is going to<br />

make it impossible. All I’m asking<br />

for is a level playing field.”<br />

Cartooning ‘has nothing<br />

to do with Cartoonism’<br />

Artists stand firm amid calls to close<br />

down radical felt-tipped pen shops<br />

Calls have grown for France to crack down<br />

on radical cartoonists following a spate of<br />

horrific beheadings and knife attacks across<br />

the country.<br />

‘Progressive’ commentators said current<br />

measures were not working and called on<br />

the French government to come down hard<br />

on cartoonists and doodlers whose work<br />

“was stuck in the Middle Ages”.<br />

One said: “It’s time for tough action.<br />

Close down radical felt-tipped pen shops.<br />

Confiscate drawing boards of hate. Outlaw<br />

speech bubbles and caricatures.”<br />

But one cartoonist, who did not want to<br />

be named, said: “Cartooning has nothing to<br />

do with Cartoonism. We shouldn’t blame<br />

all cartoonists for the sketches and jottings<br />

of a barbaric minority.”<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

REVOLUTION OFF: A planned<br />

revolution to overthrow the UK’s<br />

“useless” government has been<br />

postponed because Britain’s Got<br />

Talent is on television tonight.<br />

Organisers of the insurrection told<br />

protesters not to gather outside<br />

the Houses of Parliament and that<br />

a new date would be agreed on<br />

soon. A spokesman said: “It’s the<br />

Britain’s Got Talent final tonight<br />

featuring the dance group Diversity<br />

- who are set to perform a routine<br />

based on the 2017 Westminster<br />

Bridge terrorist attack - so it’s<br />

unmissable to be perfectly honest.<br />

We couldn’t take part in a coup<br />

when this is on TV. It wouldn’t be<br />

fair on people.”<br />

A few things you can do to<br />

show you’re a good person<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are many ways to signal that<br />

you’re one of the nice guys - a real<br />

good egg! And in a world of nasty<br />

people it’s becoming more and<br />

more important to be on the caring<br />

and compassionate side. Here are<br />

some of the ways you can signal<br />

your virtue:<br />

1. Sneer and then vocally wish<br />

someone you don’t like dies.<br />

2. Cause racial division in the<br />

name of anti-racism.<br />

3. Call yourself an ‘anti fascist’<br />

so you can go out and smash up<br />

shops, loot businesses and attack<br />

people with different political<br />

opinions to you. Riot for peace!<br />

4. Support freedom of speech as<br />

long as it fits your own narrative,<br />

and brand everything else ‘hate’.<br />

5. Laugh at someone’s jokes but<br />

then get straight on the phone to<br />

report them to the police for using<br />

outdated racial stereotypes.<br />

INCLUSNOOPERS: A rebrand<br />

of the government’s intelligence<br />

headquarters GCHQ is on the<br />

cards following calls by gay rights<br />

groups to make its initials more<br />

inclusive. A spokesman said: “We<br />

will be known as GCHLGBTQ+<br />

from now on to signal that we’ve<br />

no problem with yer lesbians, yer<br />

gays, yer bisexuals, yer trannies,<br />

yer queers, and whatever the +<br />

sign means. We’re not sure yet<br />

whether we’ll paint rainbows<br />

everywhere. We’ll let you know.”<br />

vigorous kicking of the legs,<br />

Fisherpeople<br />

Fisherpeople face<br />

cold, harsh Winter<br />

Fisherpeople are bracing themselves for<br />

a tough Winter after weather forecasters<br />

predicted sub-zero temperatures for much<br />

of the season.<br />

<strong>The</strong> harsh weather is likely to hit a lot<br />

of fisherpeople hard, many of whom are<br />

already struggling to make ends meet due<br />

to a tough trading year for fisherpeople.<br />

Fisherpeople across the UK have said<br />

that fisherpeople need to come together<br />

to help each other out - possibly forming<br />

some sort of fisherpeople’s co-operative<br />

society during this time of need.<br />

Dave Chubb, one of the fisherpeople<br />

worried about the cold season ahead,<br />

said: “It’s a tough time for fisherpeople,<br />

make no mistake. But former generations<br />

of fisherpeople endured much worse. <strong>The</strong><br />

fisherpeople of today can learn a lot from<br />

fisherpeople in the past.”<br />

I, Sir Norbert, CEO of <strong>Niggle</strong> Corps<br />

and publisher of this esteemed organ,<br />

wish to address my employees.<br />

After many decades in Fleet Street<br />

of pointing out the destructive sides of<br />

socialism, including how much it lifts<br />

out of my greedy right-wing pocket in<br />

taxes, I wish you all to know that we<br />

are now to embrace Marxism.<br />

Many of you will have noticed that<br />

you are getting more work emails and<br />

pamphlets about diversity and trans<br />

<strong>issues</strong>. Now I don’t want to hear any<br />

moaning Minnies about this. You<br />

might have thought that an old, greedy<br />

press baron like myself would take<br />

a sceptical view of diversity diktats.<br />

Not a bit of it! And there’s a very good<br />

reason for that. It’s cheap! And when<br />

I resume going out to parties with my<br />

decades-younger mistress I can show<br />

off to pop stars in liberal salons<br />

about how right-on and with-it<br />

morally erect raddled old Sir<br />

Norbert is!<br />

Yes, it costs me nothing and all<br />

the ball-ache is absorbed by<br />

you <strong>Niggle</strong> employees.<br />

So, what will diversity<br />

mean in practice? If it’s<br />

OUR ELDERLY PROPRIETOR SIR NORBERT<br />

Sir Norbert’s message to our employees<br />

From right-wing press baron<br />

to champion of social justice<br />

anything like its ideological older<br />

brother ‘positive discrimination’ it will<br />

probably mean quite a few people<br />

being given a job for reasons other<br />

than competence. So if your new boss<br />

is a tranny who can’t do their (notice<br />

the gender pronoun) job properly,<br />

don’t come crying to me, because I’ll<br />

tell you straight: you’re a fascist who<br />

needs to clear out of our company.<br />

How I love the sound of social<br />

justice (which costs me nothing).<br />

Soon we will have new columnists,<br />

I may even hire Shamima Begum to<br />

write a column - if she’s allowed back<br />

from Syria and if Bake Off don’t get<br />

her first.<br />

As you may have heard, I have<br />

taken to wearing a burka in solidarity<br />

with oppressed minorities. I intend to<br />

wear it at the Reform Club when the<br />

pandemic is over. I don’t know what<br />

Fatty, Biffy and Lord Squiffy will<br />

say, and it will also make taking<br />

certain billiard shots a bit more<br />

difficult, but damn it, you have to<br />

do your bit for diversity.<br />

Onwards and upwards<br />

to the glorious wokeist of<br />

the woke future!<br />

Three-week-old baby asks<br />

could become a girl only three weeks after<br />

had initially hoped their son Pythagoras would<br />

be non-binary, but they were now content to go<br />

along with his wishes.<br />

Emily said: “It was obvious after about two<br />

weeks that Pythagoras was uncomfortable in<br />

a male body, so we’re happy to let him decide.<br />

We’ve booked surgery for next week.”<br />

Real serial killer cast in<br />

Jack <strong>The</strong> Ripper drama<br />

In wake of the disabled actors/roles<br />

controversy, Netflix ‘takes it too far’<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

Netflix has been accused of “going a bit<br />

over the top” after it announced today that<br />

a genuine serial killer will play Jack <strong>The</strong><br />

Ripper in a new film about the Victorian<br />

psychopath.<br />

Ted ‘Nutjob’ Vorhees, an inmate of the<br />

notorious San Quentin jail in California,<br />

has a prison degree in drama and applied<br />

for the role after reading about it in Serial<br />

Killer Monthly magazine.<br />

Critics have accused Netflix of covering<br />

their backs following criticism of the film<br />

and television industry that disabled actors<br />

were being overlooked for disabled parts.<br />

Vorhees, who has been in prison for 25<br />

years after slicing up seven random women,<br />

said he was looking forward to attacking<br />

the role “with gusto”.<br />

He said: “It’s a dream come true, to be<br />

perfectly honest. Jack has always been a<br />

hero of mine, but many actors in the past<br />

haven’t managed to capture his full range<br />

of psychotic tendencies.<br />

“I’m hoping to rectify that.”<br />

Pole leg<br />

KNEE JERKS: A man who was<br />

born without knees has said he<br />

is offended by sportsmen taking<br />

the knee. Simon ‘De’ Montford, a<br />

plumber from Liverpool, suffers<br />

from a rare medical condition<br />

known as ‘pole leg’, meaning he<br />

is not able to bend his pins in the<br />

middle like most people. He said:<br />

“Watching all these racing drivers<br />

and footballers taking the knee is<br />

sickening. It’s like they’re rubbing<br />

it in. Maybe they could show<br />

some compassion towards my<br />

condition and come onto the pitch<br />

walking on stilts or something?<br />

Taking the knee? Taking the piss<br />

more like!”<br />

Maniacs: Mr Vorhees and Jack <strong>The</strong> Ripper, inset<br />

‘Stand 120m apart - save lives’<br />

<strong>The</strong> UK government has released a<br />

new list of instructions aiming to “save<br />

lives” during the Covid pandemic.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Department of Health pamphlet,<br />

which will be delivered to everyone’s<br />

home, states: “Stand 120 metres apart<br />

from each other, stay outdoors if at all<br />

possible, wear a hazardous materials<br />

(hazmat) suit - offering at least Level B<br />

protection - and breathing equipment<br />

when meeting relatives, try not to meet<br />

up with friends, avoid going to the<br />

hospital even if you feel ill, protect the<br />

NHS, save lives.”<br />

ONLINE TRIBUTES: A website<br />

has been set up in opposition to<br />

the many ‘gone too soon’ style<br />

bereavement sites available online<br />

where loved ones leave tributes<br />

to the recently deceased. Can’tgo-soon-enough.com<br />

lets you<br />

post details of someone who isn’t<br />

dead, but you wish they were. <strong>The</strong><br />

only rule is that the named person<br />

must be regarded by most people<br />

in their local community as a total<br />

cockwomble.<br />

Global pandemic of stupidity<br />

As the World goes to Hell in a handcart<br />

I’d like to welcome you to our Spring<br />

edition, aiming to cheer you up a little bit<br />

while we’re all caught in the middle of a<br />

global pandemic of stupidity.<br />

Here at the <strong>Niggle</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> we’ve<br />

been following UK government advice<br />

to “act like you’ve got the virus” and,<br />

despite being fit and healthy, we’ve all<br />

hooked ourselves up to ventilators and<br />

have been lying around on hospital beds<br />

eating bad food. We’ll keep you posted<br />

on our progress.<br />

So what’s in this issue? Well, we’ve got<br />

the usual nonsense, but, unfortunately, no<br />

Crazy Mullahs this month. <strong>The</strong>y’ve taken a<br />

short break to attend terrorist training camp<br />

in the Middle East. Luckily, because they<br />

were very young (38) when they flew<br />

out there, they’ll have lots of people<br />

defending their right to return to the UK.<br />

So don’t worry, they’ll be back!<br />

THE NIGGLE MAGAZINE<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

Mercury: An unforgiving<br />

atmosphere of hydrogen<br />

and helium, but ‘better<br />

than staying here’.<br />

END AWAY: Men who go on<br />

feminist marches and join in<br />

chants of ‘Crush the Patriarchy’<br />

and ‘<strong>The</strong> Future is Female’ have<br />

admitted this week that they still<br />

haven’t been able to get their ends<br />

away. One said: “I’ve been going<br />

on these bloody marches and<br />

demonstrations for what seems<br />

like years and I still haven’t got<br />

laid. I’ve said all the right things,<br />

such as: ‘My favourite sitcom is<br />

Fleabag’ and ‘Climate change<br />

adversely affects women’, that<br />

sort of thing, but these feminists<br />

just don’t seem to find me attractive.<br />

Honestly I’ve had enough. F*ck<br />

it. I’m going to ask them to make<br />

me a cup of tea instead. That<br />

might work.”<br />

3,000-year waiting list<br />

to get the f*ck off Earth<br />

‘Long wait will be well worth it to go<br />

anywhere but here,’ say travellers<br />

Applicants face a 3,000-year wait for a spare<br />

seat on a spacecraft to take them well away<br />

from Earth, space tech companies have<br />

announced.<br />

And as 2021 looks as if it could be even<br />

worse than 2020, many experts think the<br />

long wait could grow to almost 4,000 years<br />

by September.<br />

One potential traveller, who did<br />

not want to be named, said<br />

she was prepared to live<br />

“anywhere but this place” and<br />

the long wait would be worth<br />

it. She said: “To be honest, I’m<br />

happy to wait 3,000 years.<br />

“After the year we’ve just<br />

had, and the year we’ve got coming<br />

along, it’s a small price to pay to get off this<br />

planet.<br />

“I realise that most places in our solar<br />

system are pretty inhospitable – especially<br />

the gas planets – but they’ve got to be better<br />

than here. And Mercury is an option. OK, it<br />

may have a highly variable atmosphere full<br />

of hydrogen and helium, but surely that’s<br />

fine as long as you don’t strike a match.<br />

4<br />

And I gave up smoking last year anyway.”<br />

Some of the reasons given for “getting the<br />

hell out of here” included Covid, economies<br />

crashing, and freedom of speech crackdowns,<br />

as well as more prosaic fears that “society is<br />

actually run by a bunch of lizard people who<br />

haven’t got our best interests at heart”.<br />

Another said: “As we all know, things<br />

are pretty terrible at the moment so<br />

I’m hoping to pull a few strings<br />

and jump the queue so I don’t<br />

have to wait so long. A 500-year<br />

wait would be acceptable.”<br />

Asked how he would fill his<br />

time before eventually getting a<br />

space flight, he said: “Oh, I dunno.<br />

A bunker somewhere. Netflix. Lots of<br />

options.”<br />

A spokesman for NASA said: “We’ve<br />

enlisted the help of lots of private companies<br />

such as Musky’s SpaceX, but unfortunately<br />

we haven’t got enough room for everyone<br />

who wants to leave Earth.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> strange thing is, we haven’t even<br />

named where we’re going yet. Most people<br />

don’t seem to care.”<br />

VIRTUE SIGNAL: Coronavirus<br />

masks are to be replaced with a<br />

“virtue signal” as part of a UK<br />

government scheme being rolled<br />

out next week. <strong>The</strong> signals consist<br />

of a bright light which is held in<br />

a person’s clenched fist to show<br />

what a fantastic, caring human<br />

being they are. <strong>The</strong> lamps will<br />

provide the same amount of virus<br />

protection as cloth masks.<br />

‘I’m brilliant’<br />

WOKE REMAKE: Snow White<br />

and the Seven Dwarfs – the first<br />

ever animated feature film – is<br />

to be remade so it doesn’t offend<br />

anyone. Snow White Privilege and<br />

the Seven Persons of Restricted<br />

Growth is currently in production<br />

and will see the lead character<br />

reflect on her entitlement, despite<br />

being penniless and working<br />

class. Each short character will be<br />

a different race; and two will be<br />

gay, one trans, three bisexual and<br />

the seventh non-binary. <strong>The</strong> name<br />

Dopey will be dropped in favour<br />

of Special Needs.<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

THE NIGGLE MAGAZINE<br />

LGBT-PEE-PEE: A whole month<br />

to celebrate gay people’s ability<br />

to pass urine has been organised<br />

for later this year. LGBT-Pee-Pee<br />

Month will give participants the<br />

chance to make merry over the<br />

lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans<br />

community’s capacity to do weewees.<br />

A spokesgay said: “We often<br />

forget that the LGBT crowd also<br />

needs to widdle – and that has<br />

never been celebrated. A massive<br />

oversight, and also discrimination<br />

to be perfectly honest.” <strong>The</strong> month<br />

will end with a parade through<br />

Brighton featuring a lesbian sitting<br />

on a rainbow toilet doing a Jimmy<br />

riddle.<br />

NOT TOO BRIGHT: A skinhead<br />

racist who converted to diversity<br />

has been jailed for racial abuse.<br />

Darren Poohead, 32, had for years<br />

paraded around Bradford shouting,<br />

“P*kis Out! P*kis Out!” until<br />

he was jailed by magistrates two<br />

years ago. Poohead then underwent<br />

a conversion to multiculturalism<br />

while in jail and came out a<br />

reformed man. <strong>The</strong> court was told<br />

that only a few days after he was<br />

released, Poohead again paraded<br />

through Bradford shouting, “P*kis<br />

In! P*kis In!” Jailing him for nine<br />

weeks, Judge De Walli-de-Honk<br />

said: “You’re not very bright, are<br />

you?”<br />

Burning and lynching<br />

to help tackle racism<br />

Anti-racist campaigners adopt KKK’s<br />

methods to further progressive cause<br />

Cross-burning and lynching have made<br />

a comeback in the name of combating<br />

racism.<br />

Campaigners looked at some of the<br />

practices taking place on college campuses<br />

and in the public sector – such as separate<br />

courses/areas for black and white people –<br />

and decided on the next steps forward.<br />

Those steps include setting fire to<br />

burning crosses outside black people’s<br />

homes, and also lynching – a form of mob<br />

justice that ends in hanging.<br />

Antifa member Josh Twerpington said:<br />

“Burning a crucifix outside the home of a<br />

black person while dressed in pointy hats<br />

will show them that we haven’t forgotten<br />

the sins of white people in the past. And if<br />

we can sing a few racist songs and carry<br />

out a lynching then even better.<br />

“It is only by remembering the atrocities<br />

carried out by our forefathers that we can<br />

atone for those sins and create a better<br />

world moving forward. We should never<br />

forget. So get lynching!”<br />

Wear four masks, keep<br />

378m apart - save lives<br />

Future regulations also include sitting<br />

alone in a bunker, 48m below ground<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

Governments across the globe have already<br />

issued their Covid regulations for the year<br />

2024 - the biggest indication yet that strict<br />

pandemic measures are not going away any<br />

time soon.<br />

<strong>The</strong> regulations state that citizens must<br />

wear at least four masks when they leave<br />

home, stay 378 metres away from other<br />

people at all times, and, if entering a shop<br />

or public building, a Hazmat (harzardous<br />

materials) suit is recommended.<br />

People are also advised not to speak to<br />

anyone, thus reducing the risk of passing<br />

on the virus through water droplets, and to<br />

try other forms of communication such as<br />

using Semaphore flags or tapping on the<br />

ground in Morse Code.<br />

A World Health Organisation spokesman<br />

said: “<strong>The</strong>se measures may sound tough<br />

but we can beat this. By doing very simple<br />

things such as wearing a Hazmat suit we<br />

can flatten the curve and stop the spread of<br />

the virus.”<br />

Covid advice while at home included<br />

building a number of individual lead-lined<br />

bunkers for family members , 48 metres<br />

below ground level.<br />

<strong>The</strong> spokesman added: “Even when<br />

people are in their bunkers we ask that they<br />

still wear their masks. It’s important not to<br />

get complacent.<br />

“Remember the motto: Sit alone in a<br />

bunker 48 metres below ground level. Save<br />

lives.”<br />

KNIGHTS EXEMPLAR: <strong>The</strong><br />

remains of a group of social<br />

justice warrior knights have been<br />

found by archaeologists working<br />

in Jerusalem. Skeletons of the<br />

Knights Exemplar – an elite<br />

medieval unit which protected<br />

Christians travelling to the Holy<br />

Land while lecturing them about<br />

gender <strong>issues</strong>, homophobia,<br />

racism, and trans rights – are now<br />

being examined by scientists.<br />

Clues that the bones are those of<br />

the Knights Exemplar include one<br />

of the skeletons clutching a copy<br />

of the book White Fragility, while<br />

another appears to be wearing<br />

a remarkably preserved tunic<br />

adorned with the words, ‘Trans<br />

Women Are Real Women.’<br />

Sensible attire if you’re leaving the house<br />

Racism still exists after taking the knee<br />

Footballers and other sportsmen have<br />

admitted to being baffled that racism<br />

still exists after months of “taking the<br />

knee”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> habit of going down<br />

on one knee before football<br />

matches and other sporting<br />

events to “demonstrate how<br />

passionate one is to racial<br />

justice” has been going on for<br />

many months now, but,<br />

A knee<br />

unbelievably, racism hasn’t gone away.<br />

One footballer, who didn’t want to<br />

be named, said: “I’m confused, quite<br />

frankly. Maybe we need more<br />

knees? Maybe we should strap<br />

on some false knees?<br />

“If more knees are touching<br />

the ground then maybe<br />

racism will finally ‘do one’.<br />

“Yes, that’s it, more knees.<br />

More knees please!”<br />

WHITING UP: Anti racists have<br />

been told to “pull their fingers<br />

out” for letting Goths off the hook<br />

for painting their faces white.<br />

Goths, also known as “dead<br />

people in orthopaedic shoes”,<br />

enjoy looking extremely pale,<br />

and often use cosmetics to make<br />

themselves look even more white.<br />

And in a time when whiteys are<br />

under fire for their “privilege”,<br />

some say the whitening of the face<br />

is “rubbing it in” to those who are<br />

oppressed. One commentator said:<br />

Vlad the Impaler now<br />

branded ‘good bloke’<br />

He used the correct gender pronouns<br />

when chopping o heads of victims<br />

A history student has claimed that Vlad the<br />

Impaler was actually a decent fella who<br />

stood for LGBTQ rights – even when he<br />

was chopping up his victims and impaling<br />

them on spikes.<br />

Morwenna Tweddlington, a second-year<br />

undergraduate at Wokely University in<br />

Greater Manchester, said that although<br />

Mr Impaler was said to be a “demented<br />

psychopath, sadist, gruesome murderer and<br />

masochist who carried out unspeakable acts<br />

of cruelty”, his championing of gay rights<br />

and use of anti-fascist slogans meant he<br />

was actually “on the side of decency”.<br />

Ms Tweddlington said: “Vlad had a<br />

good heart, as well as a collection of other<br />

people’s hearts. Forget the impaling for a<br />

minute, he was a decent bloke. Period.”<br />

Impaler - ‘decent chap’<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

INNOCENTS ERROR: <strong>The</strong><br />

atrocities that took place under<br />

Herod’s Massacre of the Innocents<br />

have been reclassified as Covid<br />

deaths following new research.<br />

<strong>The</strong> notorious Biblical event,<br />

which saw the slaughter of all<br />

male children, two years old and<br />

under, close to Bethlehem, has<br />

recently been studied by scientists<br />

working for the UK and US<br />

governments. A spokesman said:<br />

“It’s clear from looking at written<br />

records that many of the children<br />

had high temperatures and dry<br />

coughs before they were hacked<br />

to bits. And some complained they<br />

had lost their sense of taste. So,<br />

for the sake of accuracy, it’s better<br />

to rebrand them as deaths from<br />

Covid-19.”<br />

Firearms for kids – a guide<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are some fantastic real guns<br />

on the market for your kids. And<br />

in an ever more dangerous world,<br />

there’s never been a better time to<br />

equip your toddler with a decent<br />

firearm.<br />

Our top tip for tots is the AK47,<br />

pictured below with baby Zak.<br />

Kalashnikov has brought out a<br />

special lightweight model for<br />

youngsters featuring an easy<br />

action trigger, no cumbersome<br />

safety catch and a vastly reduced<br />

magazine capacity of 8 bullets.<br />

If a rifle is not within your budget<br />

then why not treat your newborn<br />

to a pistol?<br />

A Walther PPK is small enough<br />

to accommodate tiny hands,<br />

and, because it is James Bond’s<br />

weapon of choice, it will give your<br />

little one the perfect opportunity to<br />

have a bit of fun and pretend to be<br />

the fictional secret agent.<br />

But be careful, the traditional<br />

double-action trigger mechanism<br />

makes it<br />

a weapon not<br />

to be<br />

messed with.<br />

Treat<br />

it with care!<br />

ME TOO: A man who replied to<br />

the words: “Most women don’t<br />

want trans-women using women’s<br />

changing rooms” with the remark:<br />

“Men don’t want them in their<br />

changing rooms either” appeared<br />

in court yesterday. He was ordered<br />

to be tarred and feathered, to have<br />

a rainbow flag draped around his<br />

shoulders, and to walk through the<br />

centre of his home town chanting:<br />

“Trans women are real women.”<br />

Fatima undercover<br />

Our reporter spent two tough weeks at a school<br />

for the deaf, teaching young pupils to lip read<br />

After spending most of last year<br />

learning how to lip read it was<br />

finally time to put my teaching<br />

skills into practice with a bunch<br />

of school children in south<br />

London.<br />

Learning to lip read is no<br />

simple task and pupils must pay<br />

proper attention to the shape<br />

of the mouth and lips, and also<br />

facial expressions.<br />

In my case, because of my<br />

religious garb, the youngsters<br />

had to use guesswork to deduce<br />

what I was saying through my<br />

body language and eyes. Yes, it<br />

was an uphill struggle for a lot<br />

of them – especially the fouryear-olds<br />

– but accepting my<br />

choice to cover myself with a<br />

giant bag has made them much<br />

more inclusive and tolerant.<br />

Let’s just hope that this counts<br />

in their favour when exams<br />

come around. Byeeeeee!<br />

Assistant Ms Farooq<br />

also demonstrated<br />

many lip movements<br />

Read my lips: Fatima in action<br />

<strong>The</strong> best<br />

bin juice<br />

cocktails<br />

1. Bin Juice Punch<br />

You can make this repugnant<br />

punch well before your guests<br />

have arrived. A real showstopper.<br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

85ml bin juice<br />

45ml grenadine<br />

35ml orange juice<br />

mint and grapefruit<br />

Add the ingredients to a shaker<br />

and fill with ice, then strain into a<br />

punchbowl and serve. Sprigs of<br />

mint and grapefruit slices will make<br />

a very nice garnish. Gruesome.<br />

2. Bin Caipirinha<br />

A classic Brazilian cocktail, but this<br />

time with a twist!<br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

half a lime<br />

3 tsp brown sugar<br />

40ml bin juice<br />

Mint sprig to garnish<br />

Quarter the lime and put the pieces<br />

in a shaker with three teaspoons of<br />

brown sugar. Add the bin juice and<br />

shake vigorously. Pour into a large<br />

ice-filled glass, garnish with the<br />

mint sprig and drink. Vile.<br />

3. Bina Colada<br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

35ml bin juice<br />

one banana, sliced<br />

coconut cream<br />

35ml pineapple juice<br />

Whack all your ingredients into a<br />

blender and blitz. Totally disgusting.<br />

But remember, by drinking this slop<br />

you are changing the temperature<br />

of the Earth for the better!<br />

OUR ELDERLY PROPRIETOR SIR NORBERT<br />

Techy thump<br />

Treat yourself to a<br />

Tangible Benefitbit<br />

A new gadget has hit the tech market this<br />

week that measures the number of Brexit<br />

moans in a 24-hour period.<br />

Targeted at Remainers, the Tangible<br />

Benefitbit is meant to be worn around the<br />

wrist and will log the sighs, whines and<br />

gripes about leaving the EU during an<br />

average day.<br />

If the wearer has forgotten to say the<br />

words, “Give me one tangible benefit” in<br />

any particular hour, the device will then<br />

flash and vibrate to remind them they<br />

need to say it.<br />

If, after asking for a list of advantages,<br />

some genuine benefits are forthcoming,<br />

the Benefitbit will show a message telling<br />

the Remainer to cover his ears, and walk<br />

away from the danger zone – the real<br />

life equivalent of blocking someone on<br />

Twitter. Cost: £79.99. Out now.<br />

Jump aboard, brace yersens, it’s Sir Norbert<br />

You join a regatta and you’re<br />

nicked for people trafficking<br />

Wiffy Babcock – a stalwart bibber<br />

at my gentlemen’s club – said to me<br />

recently, “<strong>The</strong> last time I was on your<br />

yacht it was when we got rat-arsed and<br />

sailed off to find Robert Maxwell’s<br />

body, but by the time we got there<br />

they’d found the old porker.” Upshot of<br />

that little reminiscence was that Wiffy<br />

wanted another ride on my yacht.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Greta is a rather splendid vessel<br />

and many an establishment luminary<br />

has enjoyed themselves aboard, even<br />

old Ted Heath, our bachelor PM in<br />

1973, enjoyed trilling “hello sailor” at<br />

the crew back in the days when I was<br />

trying to stop him taking us into Europe.<br />

Nowadays of course I spend all my<br />

time thinking how I can get us back into<br />

the EU. Norbert’s Labour Corps (NLC),<br />

my new employment agency for<br />

exploiting foreign workers – sorry, I<br />

mean helping the British economy<br />

recover by using non-domestic<br />

migrant workers – needs a bit of<br />

the old free movement.<br />

But I digress. So I make some<br />

phone calls and me and<br />

Wiffy head to Dover and<br />

its out into the Channel<br />

we go. A life on the ocean<br />

waves; <strong>The</strong> Greta going great guns.<br />

Quadruple gin and tonics on the bridge<br />

and all that lark. Splendidly, some way<br />

off dear old Folkestone we saw lots of<br />

little boats. “What’s this?” says Wiffy.<br />

“Dunno,” says I. “Some charming<br />

regatta, probably by the fisherfolk.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> boats got closer and we’re all<br />

waving and doing manoeuvres. I invited<br />

some of them aboard – heck of a lot of<br />

them. Swarthy types mostly. We kept<br />

them entertained by teaching them how<br />

to tie sailors’ knots. I said: “I say, are<br />

you lot Spaniards?” But all I got was a<br />

load of dago gabble back.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y seemed happy to lash their boats<br />

to mine and the next thing we’re all<br />

having a bit of a knees-up; but pulling<br />

into Dover a dozen rozzers pop up in a<br />

boat with a flashing blue light.<br />

“I’m arresting you, Sir Norbert, on<br />

suspicion of people trafficking,” one<br />

rozzer said.<br />

It’s not the end of the world. I<br />

shall tell the judge that I tutored<br />

the swarthy fellows in English<br />

culture. For a start there’ll be<br />

plenty of Deliveroo cyclists<br />

in London who can tie a<br />

sheep shank. Toodle pip!<br />

Midwife who shouted ‘It’s a<br />

boy’ sued for misgendering<br />

A midwife has found herself in hot water this week<br />

after shouting, “You’ve got a boy” shortly before<br />

both parents had a chance to decide on the tot’s<br />

gender.<br />

Beauty Adeeebyoo said she was sorry for her<br />

“outburst” and would plead guilty to misgendering at<br />

the forthcoming court case.<br />

Parents Ben and Emily Partingeton said they were<br />

extremely upset by Ms Adeeebyoo’s utterances and<br />

were keen to move on following legal proceedings.<br />

Progressive refuses to<br />

block racist who’s ‘hot’<br />

‘Have you seen her baps?’ asks woke<br />

man still following far-right nutcase<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

A man with a twitter bio full of Antifa<br />

slogans and Martin Luther King quotes now<br />

has “questions to answer” after his friends<br />

discovered he was following a vile, racist<br />

woman “just because she’s hot”.<br />

Derek De-Guyler from Wisconsin, USA,<br />

has been following a Miss Jennifer Hitler<br />

on Twitter for about a year – despite her<br />

extreme views.<br />

Ms Hitler has on many occasions tweeted<br />

Jennifer Hitler. ‘Ignore<br />

the swastika on her<br />

front – she’s hot’<br />

offensive posts about foreigners and Jews<br />

– but this didn’t stop Mr De-Guyler from<br />

following her and, sometimes, replying to<br />

her posts with smiley face emojis.<br />

He said: “I regret it now, to be honest.<br />

But come on, have you seen her Charlies?<br />

And when she’s wearing a tight-fitting<br />

top – Phwwooooorrrrr!<br />

“I just have to ignore the swastikas on the<br />

front though.”<br />

Anti fascist Mr De-Guyler<br />

VIRUS WORSHIP: A football<br />

stadium has been put aside for<br />

people who want to continue<br />

worshipping the Covid-19 virus<br />

long after things have got back to<br />

normal. Fans of the ’rona will be<br />

able to congregate and cheer on<br />

the coronavirus in a <strong>10</strong>0,000 seat<br />

venue in Washington for at least<br />

the next <strong>10</strong> years. Masks will be<br />

supplied at the door and social<br />

distancing will be adhered to at<br />

all times. Organisers said a typical<br />

event will feature a few support<br />

acts before the virus makes a<br />

headline appearance at the end of<br />

the evening.<br />

EMPTY PAP: A three-monthold<br />

child who was seen nipping<br />

out for a kebab has said he was<br />

“absolutely starving” after being<br />

chest-fed by his trans-woman<br />

dad. <strong>The</strong> tot said: “I was sucking<br />

on me dad’s, sorry mum’s, titty<br />

for an entire evening – and food<br />

there was none. So I headed out<br />

for a doner. Don’t judge me, I was<br />

famished.”<br />

Looting – but social distancing<br />

Antifa have been praised for wearing<br />

masks and standing 2m apart while<br />

smashing up shops and businesses in<br />

Portland, Oregon.<br />

A witness said: “<strong>The</strong>y were extremely<br />

conscientious. One of the protesters<br />

used a 2m pole to smash the windows<br />

14<br />

of a local government building. He<br />

obviously cared about spreading the<br />

’rona and wanted to keep the required<br />

distance away from others.<br />

“And I spotted another ‘double<br />

masking’ as he ran off with a big telly<br />

from Walmart. Top marks all round.”<br />

ASYMPTOMATIC: <strong>The</strong>re is now<br />

evidence that stupidity spreads<br />

asymptomatically, according to a<br />

new report. That’s it. That’s the<br />

story. What more do you want<br />

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME<br />

DOUBLE CLICK TO QUICKLY ZOOM IN AND OUT<br />

Trump Derangement Syndrome<br />

was falsely labelled as the ’rona<br />

An increase in Covid-19 cases across the<br />

World may have been due to traces of<br />

Trump Derangement Syndrome being<br />

falsely labelled as the virus.<br />

<strong>The</strong> widely-used PCR test may have<br />

produced a large number of false positives,<br />

branding thousands of otherwise<br />

healthy Donald Trump-haters as having<br />

Covid.<br />

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)<br />

is a common disease among the “woke”<br />

and privileged classes, with symptoms<br />

including shouting, “Not my president,<br />

not my president!” and “Orange man bad,<br />

orange man bad” at dinner parties and<br />

other social events until one’s face turns<br />

puce.<br />

Other pointers that someone<br />

may have TDS include screams of,<br />

“Noooooooooooo, nooooooooooooo,<br />

noooooooooooo!!!!!!” after reading<br />

something on social media, followed by<br />

“Racist, racist, racist, racist” after hearing<br />

Trump call Covid “the China virus”.<br />

This is often followed by sufferers<br />

rocking back and forward with their hands<br />

over their faces while spluttering and<br />

dribbling.<br />

<strong>The</strong> World Health Organisation (WHO),<br />

which said it was looking into the matter,<br />

issued a statement blaming a junior lab<br />

technician for issuing advice to set the<br />

so-called PCR cycles to “TDS”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> statement said: “Even if someone<br />

has had TDS in the past, there are still<br />

traces in the body which can be picked up<br />

by the PCR test. It is these traces that have<br />

been falsely labelled as Covid.<br />

“A junior lab technician was responsible<br />

for dishing out rubbish advice. It is<br />

unfair to name him but his name is David<br />

Smith.”<br />

One critic said: “<strong>The</strong> WHO should up<br />

their game and crack down on this. To be<br />

honest, <strong>The</strong> WHO were a lot better when<br />

Keith Moon was on drums.”<br />

FluAnon<br />

Happy birthday to us! Yes, it’s two years<br />

since our very first issue. Two years of<br />

ripping the p*ss out of the woke and they<br />

still keep coming up with the goods by<br />

getting more and more nutty every day.<br />

So, to celebrate, we’ve got a brand new<br />

cartoon character: Jeremy Smee – He’s<br />

Taking <strong>The</strong> Knee. Yep, that’s right, he’s<br />

always dropping down onto his knee to<br />

apologise for things that happened many<br />

years before he was born.<br />

Our regular characters <strong>The</strong> Crazy<br />

Mullahs are back from attending terrorist<br />

training camp, and Smug Remain Face<br />

gets married and has a very special<br />

honeymoon in Brussels. Exciting eh!<br />

So, besides saying a massive thank you<br />

to all our readers, there’s just one last<br />

Van Gogh’s painting of Kim Jong-Un<br />

is ‘<strong>10</strong>0 per cent genuine’, say experts<br />

That’s right! Listen to<br />

the science, follow the<br />

science, the science, the<br />

science. Experts have<br />

used the latest top notch<br />

scientific methods to<br />

prove “with absolute<br />

certainty” that Vincent<br />

Van Gogh’s painting<br />

of the North Korean<br />

dictator is not a fake.<br />

One of the experts,<br />

who did not want to<br />

be named, said it was<br />

painted in 1888 during<br />

a particularly prolific<br />

year for the artist.<br />

When asked how it<br />

was possible for Van<br />

Gogh (who died in<br />

1890) to paint Supreme<br />

Leader Kim, who was<br />

not born until 1982, he<br />

would only say: “<strong>The</strong><br />

Aromatherapists sent<br />

in to calm gun maniac<br />

Defund <strong>The</strong> Police supporters turn to<br />

holistic methods to tackle criminal<br />

Supporters of the Defund <strong>The</strong> Police<br />

movement were claiming success this week<br />

after a gun-toting maniac was pacified<br />

using Jasmine and Tea Tree oils.<br />

<strong>The</strong> deranged gunman was holed up in a<br />

Californian supermarket holding three staff<br />

members hostage and threatening to shoot<br />

one of them if various demands weren’t<br />

met.<br />

Defunding of the police had left the<br />

service short staffed, so a team of three<br />

aromatherapists were quickly assembled<br />

and sent in to do their thing.<br />

One said: “We very quickly used the<br />

Jasmine and Tea Tree scents to create a<br />

calming atmosphere.<br />

“Once we’d got him interested we<br />

brought out the big hitters – Marjoram and<br />

Bergamot (a citrus scented oil) – and he put<br />

down his weapon straight away.”<br />

Who needs a police<br />

force when you have<br />

essential oils?<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

MIGHTY WIND: Activists have<br />

been pulling down their pants and<br />

breaking wind for racial justice.<br />

Antifart have been pushing their<br />

anti-fascist message, as well as<br />

pushing noxious gases from their<br />

bottoms, across towns such as<br />

Portland, every day since they<br />

were formed three weeks ago. In<br />

fact the smell has become so bad<br />

that Portland’s mayor has said<br />

they should be designated a<br />

“terrorist group”. Founder Barry<br />

‘<strong>The</strong> Blurt’ Blundell said: “We<br />

wanted to do something to get<br />

attention, and it’s certainly done<br />

that. <strong>The</strong> smell can be a bit much<br />

sometimes but if you can stick to<br />

smelling your own then it’s not too<br />

bad.”<br />

PAY GAP: ISIS will look at<br />

pay disparities between men and<br />

women in their terror group after<br />

pressure from the international<br />

community. A spokesman said:<br />

“It’s true that statistically ISIS<br />

men get paid more than ISIS<br />

women but if you look at what the<br />

women do every day: Exist with<br />

no human rights, slavery, lack of<br />

equal protection under the law, no<br />

freedom of movement, and forced<br />

marriages; then why on earth<br />

should they get paid the same as<br />

the men, who are busy chopping<br />

people’s heads off. But it’s certainly<br />

something we can look into.”<br />

Twitter fact checkers replace doctors<br />

Doctors who have not been following<br />

the government’s Covid narrative have<br />

been replaced with fact checkers from<br />

Twitter, it has been revealed.<br />

One woman in east London said she<br />

paid a visit to her GP’s surgery because<br />

of a suspected broken rib and was<br />

surprised to be seen – not by her usual<br />

doctor – but by a bearded millennial in<br />

sandals.<br />

She said: “I asked him about his<br />

medical qualifications and he showed<br />

me a certificate for a three-month course<br />

in fact checking. He said my broken rib<br />

was a conspiracy theory and prescribed<br />

a three-month Twitter ban.”<br />

BANANA BUFFOON: A man<br />

close to suicide after his business<br />

and marriage collapsed during the<br />

Covid lockdowns says he has<br />

been comforted by watching BBC<br />

presenters on daytime TV saying,<br />

“Hey, why not bake some<br />

lockdown banana bread!!!” Jeff<br />

Timms said: “I’ve lost everything.<br />

But it was only after watching one<br />

of these buffoons that I realised<br />

we’re actually all in this together.”<br />

Rappers Eggs Easy and Iced Bun<br />

keep an eye on their neighbours<br />

Snitchers with attitude<br />

Rappers famous for songs such as Fuck the Government<br />

call police because neighbours are not wearing masks<br />

A member of the controversial 1990s rap<br />

group Rebels With Attitude – famous for<br />

their anti-establishment songs attacking<br />

politicians, the police, and government<br />

rules and regulations – was spotted this<br />

week reporting his neighbours for holding<br />

a barbecue in breach of Covid lockdown<br />

restrictions.<br />

Rapper Eggs Easy (real name Eric<br />

Wright) was filmed phoning a police officer<br />

by a startled fan of the band who happened<br />

to be passing by.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fan said: “He was adamant that he’d<br />

spotted a small breach of Covid restrictions<br />

and wanted something done about it.<br />

“Something about one too many people<br />

being in his neighbours’ garden.<br />

“He even told the police that he’d seen a<br />

child not wearing a mask. Can you believe<br />

it?”<br />

<strong>The</strong> fan also said that Iced Bun, another<br />

member of the band, was standing next<br />

to Eggs reminding him of further rule<br />

breaches.<br />

He said: “Iced Bun was standing there<br />

saying, ‘Don’t forget the kid not wearing<br />

a mask, don’t forget the kid not wearing a<br />

mask’ and Eggs was telling him to be quiet<br />

because he’d already reported it.<br />

“It was like two old women gossiping.<br />

Rebels With Attitude, huh! Snitchers With<br />

Attitude more like!”<br />

When we contacted Eggs Easy for a<br />

statement he refused to speak to us, but<br />

released a statement through his lawyers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> statement said: “People who breach<br />

government rules are spoiling it for the rest<br />

of us. I wear my mask, I social distance, I<br />

stick to the rules. Covid cases surged to six<br />

in my local area last week. <strong>The</strong> quicker we<br />

all follow the regulations, the quicker we all<br />

get out of this. And fuck the pol-eeeese!”<br />

Hello officer ...<br />

<strong>The</strong> full transcript of Eggs<br />

Easy’s phone call to the San<br />

Francisco police department:<br />

“I’d like to report a breach<br />

of lockdown restrictions<br />

please. It’s my neighbours.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re holding a barbecue<br />

and I’ve counted seven<br />

people in the garden when<br />

rules specify that only six<br />

people are allowed. And<br />

one of the children is not<br />

wearing a mask. yes, yes,<br />

it’s terrible, a total breach<br />

of regulations. My name?<br />

Yes, it’s Eric Wright, spelt<br />

W.R.I.G.H.T. That’s it. Thank<br />

you o cer, thank you.”<br />

Man identifies as every<br />

History was made this week after<br />

a ‘man’ identified as all 3,782<br />

genders all at once.<br />

Robin Chuzzlewhacket, known<br />

to ‘his’ friends as ‘Mental Illness’,<br />

made the groundbreaking<br />

announcement on Tuesday after<br />

he couldn’t decide which gender<br />

to be – and so went for all of<br />

them.<br />

‘He’ said: “<strong>The</strong> best thing about<br />

identifying as all 3,782 genders<br />

is that no one can misgender me.<br />

Whichever pronoun they use it<br />

will be correct. Although I would<br />

BOARDROOM EQUALITY:<br />

<strong>The</strong> UK took one step closer to full<br />

gender equality this week after a<br />

law was passed forcing all large<br />

companies to have a 50/50 men/<br />

transwomen split on their boards.<br />

voted through by MPs keen to have<br />

equality in company boardrooms<br />

across the land. Dave ‘David’<br />

Davison, managing director of the<br />

building industry giant Scaffolders<br />

UK, said: “Traditionally very few<br />

women go into the scaffolding<br />

trade, so this new law is perfect.<br />

We can just get some of the fellas<br />

to stick on a dress and identify<br />

as female, and Bob’s your aunt.<br />

Literally. Because, as you well<br />

know, Trans. Women. Are. Real.<br />

Organic compounds told to pay<br />

reparations for discrimination<br />

in dawn-of-time primordial soup<br />

‘Bullying’ chemicals have been told<br />

to pay up over their behaviour four<br />

billion years ago when life itself was<br />

being formed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> so-called primordial soup,<br />

which contained simple organic<br />

compounds formed by<br />

ultra-violet light acting on<br />

water, carbon dioxide<br />

and ammonia, was not<br />

a harmonious place,<br />

according to people<br />

a lot cleverer than us<br />

who know about this<br />

sort of thing.<br />

A vast variety of<br />

organic substances were<br />

produced at that time –<br />

however, the amino acids’<br />

aggressive actions towards the<br />

primitive sugars have been a cause<br />

for concern for many years.<br />

One scientist said: “<strong>The</strong><br />

behaviour of these amino acids is<br />

a stain on our history and has led<br />

directly to the kind of racism and<br />

A typical<br />

straight<br />

white man,<br />

but with<br />

no eyes<br />

discrimination we can see today.<br />

If the amino acids had been a little<br />

more inclusive at the dawn of time<br />

then maybe things would be better<br />

now.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y should pay up for the<br />

damage they caused back then,<br />

and also for the inequality<br />

we still experience today.”<br />

A spokesman for the<br />

amino acids said: “<strong>The</strong><br />

son should not be<br />

punished for the sins<br />

of the father. It’s a<br />

principle we’ve always<br />

followed. Why<br />

A bowl of primordial soup<br />

should today’s<br />

with a parsley garnish<br />

amino acids be<br />

under fire for something that<br />

happened four billion years ago in a<br />

sea of prebiotic broth?<br />

“It was like the Wild West back<br />

in those days. Every molecule for<br />

himself. Kill or be killed.<br />

“Reparations, huh! Primordial<br />

Correctness gone mad, more like!”<br />

Fatima underwater<br />

Our reporter spent an afternoon in the deep blue<br />

with a team of divers o the Australian coast<br />

Goggles. Check. Snorkel. Check. Oxygen tank.<br />

Check. Full veil and assorted gubbins. Check.<br />

Listen, I may have been 200m below the<br />

ocean’s surface but that’s absolutely no excuse<br />

for a drop in dress standards. If I’d worn a<br />

wetsuit then my neck would have been showing,<br />

as well as the top of my head. And let’s be honest<br />

about this, I was down there with two men. And<br />

we all know how men react when they see the<br />

top of a woman’s head. <strong>The</strong>y say, “Ooh look,<br />

there’s the top of a woman’s head.” <strong>The</strong> very<br />

definition of toxic masculinity.<br />

As far as the flora and fauna were concerned I<br />

didn’t really see much. I was too busy worrying<br />

that I was exposing too much flesh where my<br />

feet entered my flippers. <strong>The</strong> men didn’t seem<br />

to bother though. <strong>The</strong>y were too busy collecting<br />

coral samples and taking photographs of fish.<br />

Typical men!<br />

‘We’re just playing nonsense’<br />

Ethnic band admit they’re ‘singing any old crap’ just to<br />

please woke Westerners who think it’s ‘fnnntarrrstic’<br />

A street band in Morocco that has<br />

been entertaining rich Westerners for<br />

many years revealed this week they<br />

have been singing “complete nonsense<br />

just to please middle-class grinning<br />

buffoons”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two-man group, known as Led<br />

Bedouin, said they had now decided to<br />

retire so were happy to spill the beans<br />

over what they’ve been singing about<br />

all these years.<br />

Vocalist and drummer Amsu<br />

Chatuluka said: “We were performing<br />

in a street market in Rabat and had a<br />

bunch of rich, dewy-eyed smirkers<br />

around us so we decided to start coming<br />

out with bollocks.<br />

I started singing: “Habbah habbith<br />

haa yaa yee, hibboth, babbaeret, haa<br />

jorr jee”, which means, “Your noses<br />

are made of guacamole and you wear<br />

cheese underpants.’ I then followed it<br />

up with, ‘theerebarh charrduth ying<br />

tong thur’, which means, ‘Your odour is<br />

one of poo poos.’<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y all thought it was a traditional<br />

folk ballad and just kept mouthing the<br />

words ‘absolutely fnnntarrrstuck’.”<br />

Led Bedouin<br />

Stabbed man sends one final gif to his murderer<br />

YAWN<br />

A murder victim died a happy<br />

man last week after he managed<br />

to send a gif to the phone of his<br />

attacker “just to get the last<br />

word in”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> gif, which featured a<br />

cat yawning, was a particular<br />

favourite of Dave Smeeton, who<br />

loved to spend his days having<br />

arguments with people on social<br />

media – often ending in gifs<br />

being sent back and forth.<br />

Dave’s brother, Big Jeff, said,<br />

“When he was having a Twitter<br />

argument with someone he just<br />

had to get the last word in. Even<br />

if he was in the wrong he’d keep<br />

sending shit gifs of animals<br />

rolling their eyes, that sort of<br />

thing. It was what he was like.<br />

“In real life he’d got into an<br />

argument with someone about<br />

Covid or Brexit or something.<br />

<strong>The</strong> guy turned out to be a<br />

maniac who had a knife and it<br />

cost Dave his life.<br />

“But he was still clutching his<br />

phone during his final breaths<br />

and managed to send his killer a<br />

gif of a cat yawning. And by the<br />

time his killer saw it, Dave was<br />

dead. <strong>The</strong> ultimate last word!”<br />

Paradise: <strong>The</strong> world will look<br />

like this if you pay more taxes<br />

Government greed<br />

is key to tackling<br />

climate change<br />

Paying governments lots more money<br />

in green taxes stops the temperature of<br />

the Earth increasing, according to a new<br />

study.<br />

Research by scientists at <strong>The</strong> Biden<br />

Institute, Washington, said they had been<br />

“following the science” and discovered<br />

that if every US citizen paid another<br />

$1,000 dollars a year in green taxes, then<br />

global warming would be put on hold for<br />

about a month.<br />

Department head B.O. Risjohn-Son<br />

said: “<strong>The</strong> science is clear on this. Listen<br />

to the science, follow the science, the<br />

science, the science, the science. And<br />

give the government a shit load more<br />

money. It’s the only way to save the<br />

planet. <strong>The</strong> only way.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Niggle</strong> Corporation embraces<br />

green <strong>issues</strong> when we can make a quick<br />

buck – er, I mean when we can help<br />

build back better for a more sustainable<br />

world. For this reason I am excited to<br />

unveil our new clothing range. Now,<br />

give me a well cut overcoat and a<br />

decent suit from (Jimmy) Savile Row<br />

any day – but I do not expect the youth<br />

of today to share my tastes.<br />

This is why I have invested millions<br />

in the next big thing: cardboard clothes.<br />

Unwieldy yes, somewhat chafesome<br />

around the crotch yes, but when you<br />

wear cardboard trousers and cardboard<br />

underpants, a brown paper shirt and a<br />

compressed recycled toilet paper jacket<br />

(even though it is a bit wiffy) you are<br />

doing your bit to save the world!<br />

Where’s the cardboard coming from,<br />

you cry. It’s recycled of course.<br />

Bunty Funty-Farqunt (pronounced<br />

‘c***’) was up in arms when I<br />

turned up at Squiffy Babcock’s<br />

90th with my cardboard suit on<br />

(plus cardboard loafers); said I’d<br />

let the side down but he was<br />

just professionally jealous:<br />

his nephew – a man-bun,<br />

conchie woofter type – is<br />

OUR ELDERLY PROPRIETOR SIR NORBERT<br />

Brace yersens, Sir Norbert’s gone green<br />

Clothes, homes and Sunday<br />

roasts all made of cardboard<br />

trying to start a clothing range made<br />

from recycled sewage. I said to Bunty,<br />

I said: pants that come pre-skidmarked<br />

eh? But he didn’t like that.<br />

I beamed at him. “<strong>The</strong> hippies love it!<br />

And why stop at clothes? I see recycled<br />

cardboard as the wonder substance of<br />

the future: cardboard houses, cardboard<br />

blow-up dolls, cardboard roast dinners,<br />

cardboard heroin, cardboard sharks,<br />

cardboard missiles, cardboard warships<br />

and cardboard hospitals, cardboard<br />

humans and, drum roll, cardboard<br />

cardboard. Think how cheap everything<br />

will be! Think how green!”<br />

Bunty said: “What happens when it<br />

all blows away or the Chinese invade?”<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s a clever one from Bunty. I<br />

didn’t miss a beat though: “We cannot<br />

accept responsibility for any errors in<br />

usage of recycled cardboard. We cannot<br />

guarantee longevity in products<br />

which are designed to help save the<br />

world and make irritating<br />

middle-class arseholes, in places<br />

like Godalming, feel smug.”<br />

THE NIGGLE MAGAZINE<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

‘One Fuhrer better than<br />

a bunch of little Hitlers’<br />

Adolf’s return would be slightly more<br />

bearable than Covid Tyrant World<br />

<strong>The</strong>re have been calls for the return of<br />

Adolf Hitler by tired populations across the<br />

World currently coping with thousands of<br />

‘little Hitlers’ every single day.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ‘little Hitlers’ have spent the past<br />

year snitching on their neighbours for<br />

having a barbecue, telling people to pull<br />

their masks up over their noses,<br />

bawling at those getting within<br />

their 2 metre safe zone, and<br />

shouting, “DO YOU WANT<br />

GRANDMA TO DIE!!!!” at<br />

regular intervals.<br />

One London resident, who<br />

did not want to be named, but<br />

we can tell you that his name is<br />

Frederick Smith of 378 Acacia Road,<br />

Chiswick, said: “Bring back the fella who<br />

looks like Charlie Chaplin with the funny<br />

moustache, that’s what I say. At least we’d<br />

know where he was and we could avoid<br />

him.<br />

“You’d know, for instance, that you<br />

wouldn’t bump into him in the supermarket<br />

shouting, ‘HANDS, FACE, SPACE!!!’ at<br />

you over and over again.<br />

14<br />

“OK the Fuhrer had his faults but come<br />

on. Surely life under his tyrannical rule<br />

couldn’t be much worse than putting up<br />

with these goons?”<br />

Another resident who did want to be<br />

named, so we’re not going to name her,<br />

said: “People always concentrate on the<br />

bad things that Hitler did. But he was<br />

very kind to his mum and he was<br />

always very well turned out.<br />

Uniform, waxed moustache<br />

and all that.<br />

“If I had to choose between<br />

him and all these mini Hitlers<br />

trying to control my life I’d<br />

choose the evil dictator every<br />

time.<br />

“He made the trains run on time – but<br />

didn’t insist that everyone wore a mask and<br />

sat in a double seat by themselves.”<br />

A spokesman for the Bringing Hitler<br />

Back From <strong>The</strong> Dead society said: “We’re<br />

a bunch of racists who have been trying to<br />

bring Hitler back for different reasons. But<br />

it’s great to have some fresh support from<br />

non-racists as well. Every little helps!”<br />

BOMB IRE: Terrorist bombers<br />

say they are tired of working from<br />

home during Covid lockdowns<br />

and can’t wait to get back to<br />

the office. Head of the bombing<br />

and commercial terrorism union<br />

Save Our Jihadis, Ali bin bin Ali<br />

bin Mohammed, said: “Blowing<br />

things up in our own homes is no<br />

fun, to be perfectly honest. We<br />

need to be out there, around other<br />

people. I can obviously see there<br />

are advantages to working from<br />

home – no time wasted on a long<br />

commute, etc – but I think we<br />

need to get back to the old normal<br />

of blowing people up far away<br />

from our own homes.”<br />

WOKE TRAIN: A fairground<br />

ghost train aimed at white woke<br />

people has opened in London. <strong>The</strong><br />

so-called Woke Train sees a series<br />

of carriages wind its way down<br />

a track past exhibits designed to<br />

scare middle-class progressives.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se include moving/talking<br />

models of black people reciting<br />

conservative views and also of<br />

intelligent women destroying the<br />

idea of a “tyrannical patriarchy”.<br />

One punter said she was “very<br />

shaken” by the experience and<br />

would be doing her best to ignore<br />

what she had seen.<br />

RACIST NORM: People who<br />

have been branded “Nazis”<br />

across the world are now a<br />

sizeable majority, according to<br />

new research. A scientific study<br />

at LA’s Everyone’s A Racist<br />

Institute showed that 6.5 billion<br />

people were now “racist” from a<br />

world population of 7.9 billion.<br />

A spokesman said: “Now that the<br />

majority of people are ‘Nazis’<br />

then I suppose the next logical<br />

step is to round up the non Nazis<br />

and lock them up. <strong>The</strong>re is no<br />

place for dissenters in a modern<br />

society.”<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

THE NIGGLE MAGAZINE<br />

KILLING GRANDMA: A man<br />

holding a gun to his grandma’s<br />

head has accused a woman who<br />

forgot to put her Covid mask on<br />

of “wanting grandma to die!”<br />

Talking later about her experience<br />

the woman said: “I walked into my<br />

local food store and had forgotten<br />

to put my mask on. <strong>The</strong>n I saw this<br />

maniac who, for some reason, had<br />

taken his grandmother hostage and<br />

was brandishing a gun. He saw I<br />

was maskless and started shouting:<br />

“Put your mask on, do you want<br />

grandma to die! Do you want<br />

selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish!”<br />

COVID LOVE: A brothel has<br />

opened in Wisconsin, USA, for<br />

people who want to have sex with<br />

Covid-19. Specifically targeted<br />

at Covid lovers the premises<br />

intend to remain open long after<br />

the pandemic is over so that the<br />

fanatics can still get turned on over<br />

the virus. Owner Chip Pendleberry<br />

said: “We’ve dressed Covid-19 up<br />

in a few different garments: sexy<br />

lingerie, fetish wear, even cosplay.<br />

And for those who don’t want<br />

intimate contact, we’ve also got<br />

the virus dancing provocatively<br />

behind glass. It should appeal to<br />

99% of Covid lovers everywhere.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s something for all tastes.”<br />

‘What do we want?<br />

Another lockdown!’<br />

Covid fanatics take to the streets in<br />

protective gear wanting more rules<br />

Protesters in full Hazmat suits and sealed<br />

helmets have taken to the streets to call for<br />

another full lockdown.<br />

Despite the number of UK Covid deaths<br />

hitting zero recently, the campaigners said<br />

it was important not to get complacent and<br />

indicated that another full lockdown was<br />

the only sensible way forward.<br />

One protester said: “So, yes, we flattened<br />

the curve but I’m not sure it looks flattened<br />

enough. If we could only flatten it a bit<br />

more.<br />

“All we are asking is that the government<br />

forces people to stay indoors for another 17<br />

weeks.”<br />

Another said: “Yes we’ve now got zero<br />

deaths from Covid but another lockdown<br />

could push that zero to a minus figure.<br />

Imagine that! Having, say, minus seven<br />

deaths from Covid. It would be a fantastic<br />

achievement.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> group was heard chanting: “What do<br />

we want? More lockdowns! When do we<br />

want them? After my furlough cheque!”<br />

Covid dances provocatively<br />

behind a glass screen<br />

MUSIC NEWS FROM THE FUTURE:<br />

21 Years to Flatten the Curve is a hit<br />

A man who claims he can see into the<br />

future has said that the big hit of 2041<br />

will be a folk song about Covid.<br />

Harvey Tommyrot, who is known in<br />

his local area as the Oracle of Penge,<br />

said the song 21 Years to Flatten the<br />

Curve celebrates the ongoing Covid<br />

restrictions which many people are<br />

still seemingly quite happy with.<br />

Mr Tommyrot said: “It’s a lovely<br />

little ditty celebrating all that is great<br />

about never-ending Covid restrictions.<br />

It goes something like this:<br />

“21 years, to flatten the curve,<br />

Hurrah Hancock and the Tories,<br />

21 years, to flatten the curve,<br />

Hurrah Hancock and the Tories.”<br />

Asked why the Tories were still in<br />

power in 2041, he said: “Christ, you<br />

should see the other lot!”<br />

Fighting it all with humour<br />

Welcome once again to the magazine for<br />

free thinkers, libertarians and people who<br />

find jokes funny and just treat them as<br />

that – jokes. It’s a tough time for us all<br />

at the moment as we watch governments<br />

across the World – cheered on by some<br />

of the population – become more and<br />

more authoritarian, and also more woke.<br />

Which, for all its good intentions, in<br />

reality just divides us all. Because, well,<br />

that’s humanity.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are many ways to fight the<br />

THE NIGGLE MAGAZINE<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

MAD MASK TWO: A man was<br />

spotted wearing two Covid masks<br />

earlier this week in an isolation<br />

floatation tank. When asked why<br />

he was masking up to enter an<br />

environment where no other<br />

human beings could possibly be,<br />

he said: “Science”.<br />

Drag queen firefighters<br />

an asset to the service<br />

Fire chiefs herald ‘fellas in dresses’<br />

joining team, despite some criticism<br />

A pair of drag queens have said they’re<br />

looking forward to tackling blazes and<br />

rescuing trapped residents after they joined<br />

a North London fire crew, following an<br />

inclusion drive.<br />

Trixie Bunn and Faye Luscious joined<br />

Rainbow Watch in Islington last week,<br />

working as full members of the team<br />

carrying out normal fire crew<br />

duties.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pair were spotted a year<br />

ago at a Drag Queen Story<br />

Hour after firefighters also<br />

visited the same school to talk<br />

to children about fire safety.<br />

<strong>The</strong> appointment has drawn<br />

criticism from some members of<br />

the public who said they felt that the drag<br />

queens had no place in a professional fire<br />

crew. Concerns included the potential for<br />

dresses, gowns and feather boas to get<br />

caught in ladders and broken windows; and<br />

the two queens’ penchant for high-heeled<br />

shoes – which some critics branded “totally<br />

inappropriate footwear for rescuing people<br />

from high-storey tower blocks.”<br />

Replying to the criticism, Trixie Bunn<br />

said: “<strong>The</strong>y’re bigots. We’ve worked as<br />

hard as anyone to pass the rigorous training<br />

that firefighters have to go through.<br />

“OK, I’ll admit that when the alarm goes<br />

off we spend a little more time than<br />

the others getting ready: we have<br />

to choose the right foundation,<br />

mascara, lip gloss, and suchlike,<br />

as well as our outfits for<br />

that particular job.<br />

“And resisting the temptation<br />

to dance suggestively after<br />

sliding down the firemen’s pole is<br />

tough, but otherwise we are<br />

absolutely the same as the other members<br />

of the crew.”<br />

Commander of Rainbow Watch Jeff<br />

Jeffson said he was looking forward to<br />

working alongside Faye and Trixie.<br />

He said: “I’m looking forward to working<br />

alongside Faye and Trixie.”<br />

MORE SCIENCE: An increase<br />

in the use of solar panels could<br />

see a drain on the Sun’s energy<br />

supply and could eventually lead<br />

to the sun running out, according<br />

to scientists. One said: “People<br />

think they’re saving the planet<br />

by using solar energy but what<br />

they’re actually doing is contributing<br />

to making the Sun run out.<br />

And when it finally runs out, what<br />

then? I’ll tell you ‘what then’. It’ll<br />

be dark and cold and people will<br />

have to do things such as burn<br />

large piles of stinky old car tyres<br />

to keep warm. So think on!”<br />

‘SEXIST’ SHOW: A magician’s<br />

show was branded “sexist” this<br />

week after critics complained<br />

about the treatment of female<br />

assistants in his act. Illusionist<br />

Paul Daniels [not the dead one,<br />

and no relation] was blasted on<br />

social media after film footage<br />

was posted from one of his shows.<br />

<strong>The</strong> clips showed him sawing a<br />

woman in half but not bothering<br />

to put her back together; and also<br />

causing a woman to levitate, but<br />

then to float over towards a pile of<br />

dirty dishes at a kitchen sink. Other<br />

tricks included the disappearing<br />

bikini, and a theatrical routine<br />

called, ‘Get that ironing done!’<br />

Mr Daniels said he couldn’t see<br />

anything wrong with his act and<br />

urged all female critics to come<br />

and see the show and make up<br />

their own minds; and to also make<br />

him a cup of tea afterwards.<br />

Halved and just left there. An<br />

artist’s impression of the act<br />

Man About the House<br />

of Two Asian Lesbians<br />

Remake of classic sitcom that nobody<br />

watches is branded ‘big hit’ by TV chiefs<br />

<strong>The</strong> two Asian lesbians<br />

find a man on their<br />

sofa. Hilarity ensues<br />

A remake of the British sitcom Man About<br />

the House (or Three’s Company in the US)<br />

has been heralded “a success” despite the<br />

fact no one wants to watch it.<br />

Man About the House of Two Asian<br />

Lesbians aired on British television last<br />

night, but viewing figures were said by<br />

one source to be “the worst ever; in fact<br />

absolute toilet”.<br />

Despite the numbers being at an all time<br />

low for a prime-time sitcom (3), television<br />

bosses were still insisting it was a success<br />

because it “reflects our diverse society of<br />

reflecting diversity and a diverse reflection<br />

of a diverse society reflection”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> show features ladies man Robin<br />

Hipp, who lives with Asian lesbians Fatima<br />

and Aisha in a North London flat.<br />

Terror bombing is a ‘microaggression’<br />

It was good news for jihadi maniacs<br />

this week after governments across<br />

the World downgraded terror<br />

bombings from “murderous,<br />

evil atrocities” to merely<br />

“microaggressions”.<br />

Islamist militants reacted<br />

with delight at the news, which,<br />

in practice, will mean that blowing<br />

up innocent people will not result in<br />

jail time – instead, the bombers are<br />

likely to be looked down on by some of<br />

the more sensitive members of society<br />

for not being progressive enough.<br />

Punishment could see them<br />

sitting a course in Critical<br />

Race <strong>The</strong>ory or taking classes<br />

to examine how language<br />

tone and making assumptions<br />

based on someone’s gender or<br />

sexual preference – especially<br />

when they are carrying out their<br />

bombings – could be extremely hurtful<br />

to some.<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

BEDWETTER OILS: A new<br />

range of aromatherapy scents has<br />

been released aimed at calming<br />

down people who want lockdowns<br />

to go on forever and are scared<br />

of being less than two metres<br />

away from fit, healthy people who<br />

haven’t got Covid. <strong>The</strong> collection<br />

of oils, which has the name Stench<br />

of Bedwetter, will go on sale<br />

tomorrow via mail order.<br />

FAR RIGHT: A spate of antiracist<br />

graffiti smothered across<br />

buildings spanning the whole<br />

of London has been blamed<br />

on “the far right”. Much of the<br />

spray-painted vandalism consists<br />

of slogans such as: “Racists out!”,<br />

“We don’t want racists in our<br />

city!” and “<strong>The</strong> only good racist<br />

is a dead racist!” A spokesman for<br />

the London Mayor said: “<strong>The</strong>se<br />

slogans have all the hallmarks of<br />

the far right. <strong>The</strong> style of brush<br />

stroke, the paint used, etc. London<br />

is a very diverse city and there is<br />

no place for far-right lunatics. If<br />

someone out there knows which<br />

right-wingers are writing these<br />

slogans then we urge you to get in<br />

touch.”<br />

STILL RUBBISH: Wokesters in<br />

the USA are blaming old episodes<br />

of South Park and reruns of <strong>The</strong><br />

Benny Hill Show for the fact the<br />

country is still in a right old state<br />

now that Donald Trump is no<br />

longer in office. One said: “Some<br />

of the language used by Cartman<br />

and his friends is clearly dragging<br />

the country into the doldrums. I<br />

can think of no other reason. And<br />

the same with Benny Hill. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

really should stop running repeats<br />

of this old show as it’s having a<br />

detrimental effect on society.”<br />

Just a thought ...<br />

When you occasionally<br />

read a horrible news story<br />

about someone who’s<br />

been convicted of having<br />

sex with an animal, is it<br />

strange to think, ‘I wonder<br />

if they’re still together?’<br />

Fatima undercover<br />

Our reporter spent a week working as a stripper<br />

in New York club Bing Tiddle Tiddle Poop Poop<br />

My week at Bing Tiddle Tiddle Poop<br />

Poop began with just hanging out<br />

with the other girls and getting<br />

comfortable with the environment.<br />

Learning to dance provocatively<br />

around a shiny pole is something<br />

I took to like a duck to water. <strong>The</strong><br />

subsequent stripping was a little<br />

alien to me but I soon got the hang<br />

of it, and, by the time of my first<br />

striptease, I was on fire.<br />

Of course the audience didn’t<br />

like the fact that I was passing my<br />

knickers, stockings and bra out<br />

through the slot in my face veil, and<br />

I was greeted with lots of boos and<br />

jeers from the punters – many of<br />

whom complained to the management<br />

that they’d paid good money<br />

but couldn’t see any titties. But<br />

they couldn’t sack me because that<br />

would be racist. Toodle pip!<br />

Abortion: <strong>The</strong> third way<br />

‘Look at both parents-to-be and then decide’<br />

A controversial new abortion law has<br />

angered people on both sides of the<br />

debate, whether pro-life or pro-choice.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new rules, set to come into force<br />

across some US states next week, says<br />

that abortion should be allowed, but<br />

only after looking at both parents-to-be<br />

and calculating that there’s a reasonable<br />

chance that the child could grow up to<br />

be a complete cunt.<br />

Debate over what constitutes a<br />

“reasonable chance” has spread across<br />

social media with many on the right<br />

saying, “Democrat parents” and many<br />

on the left saying, “Republicans”.<br />

But the statute guidelines state that<br />

people should look out for things such<br />

as whether the parents wear novelty<br />

socks; or if the proposed name of the<br />

child contains a symbol, eg, Na–a<br />

[pronounced Nadasha]; saying the<br />

word ‘like’ every three words; talking<br />

in upspeak [like everything’s a<br />

question?]; pronouns in Twitter bios;<br />

regularly using a child’s scooter<br />

despite being an adult; Che Guevara<br />

posters; and banging on about diversity<br />

but making sure they live nowhere<br />

near any ethnic minorities.<br />

After looking at the guidelines, one<br />

commentator said: “Seems reasonable.”<br />

Our Bring Back Slavery campaign is not going well<br />

Empty shackle:<br />

It seems no one<br />

wants to be a<br />

slave any more<br />

Parental red flags: Novelty socks;<br />

Che Guevara posters; and using a<br />

child’s scooter when you’re an adult<br />

We’re sad to announce that our<br />

Bring Back Slavery campaign,<br />

which has been running for<br />

almost a year now, has hit a<br />

major roadblock: A complete<br />

lack of interest from members<br />

of the public.<br />

When we started the campaign<br />

11 months ago we knew it was<br />

going to be a bit of an uphill<br />

struggle, but, to be honest, we<br />

weren’t quite prepared for the<br />

backlash on social media to our<br />

proposals.<br />

Much abuse came our way,<br />

even after we listed a whole<br />

host of advantages to having<br />

our towns and cities filled with<br />

slaves. One major advantage is a<br />

never-ending supply of free<br />

labour – with minimal costs<br />

involved (shackles, soup and a<br />

roof) – thus giving slave owners<br />

a lot more spare time to pursue<br />

leisure activities.<br />

Another plus point would be<br />

that slavery falls outside the<br />

remit of health & safety laws – so<br />

there’s only a minimal amount of<br />

tiresome red tape to deal with.<br />

As we went to press, no one<br />

had volunteered to be a slave.<br />

’EEE’S WORSE THAN ’ITLER ’EEE IS<br />

Six reasons<br />

why Trump<br />

is literally<br />

Adolf Hitler<br />

DOUBLE CLICK TO QUICKLY ZOOM IN AND OUT<br />

We all know that former US president Donald Trump is<br />

literally Hitler. That’s a given. But how many of us know<br />

the reasons why? Well, here are a few pointers:<br />

1. On November <strong>10</strong>, 1938,<br />

Donald Trump ordered<br />

the desecration of Jewish<br />

places of worship and the<br />

burning of Jewish shops. It<br />

was an infamous night now<br />

known as KristallTrump.<br />

More than 7,000 Jewish<br />

businesses were damaged<br />

or destroyed and 30,000<br />

Jewish men were arrested<br />

and incarcerated. Many<br />

Jews lost their lives.<br />

2. On September 1, 1939,<br />

Donald Trump ordered<br />

German tanks to roll into<br />

Poland – called Operation<br />

Orange Man – thus plunging<br />

the whole of Europe into a<br />

long, bloody war.<br />

3. Donald Trump cordoned<br />

o areas in certain parts<br />

of big cities and forced the<br />

Jews to reside there. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

‘Orange ghettos’ could hold<br />

about <strong>10</strong>,000 people but<br />

Trump shoved half a million<br />

people in there.<br />

4. Donald Trump ordered<br />

German bombing missions<br />

over London and other UK<br />

Donald Trump’s house, 1939<br />

cities during 1940 and 1941<br />

– a campaign known as <strong>The</strong><br />

Blitz. It began with raids<br />

on London towards the end<br />

of the Battle of Britain in<br />

1940 (a battle for daylight<br />

air superiority between the<br />

Trumpwa e and the Royal<br />

Air Force<br />

5. Donald Trump ordered<br />

the setting up of more than<br />

1,000 concentration camps<br />

during the Nazi regime.<br />

<strong>The</strong> camps – including<br />

AuschTrumptz, Trumpenwald,<br />

Trumpen-Belsen and<br />

Trumpau – were liberated<br />

by Allied forces towards the<br />

end of the war.<br />

6. Trump masterminded<br />

‘<strong>The</strong> Final Solution’ – the<br />

deliberate, planned mass<br />

murder of European Jews –<br />

<strong>The</strong> Donaldcaust (between<br />

1941 and 1945).<br />

Pale, male and<br />

stale: An alien<br />

Look for racism<br />

on other planets<br />

<strong>The</strong> US government has said it will<br />

pump billions of dollars over the next <strong>10</strong><br />

years searching other worlds for signs of<br />

racism.<br />

A spokesman said: “Now that we’ve<br />

branded everything on Earth ‘racist’, it’s<br />

really important that we look for life on<br />

other planets so that we can brand that<br />

‘racist’ as well.<br />

“It’s a sad, sad time at the moment that<br />

we’ve run out of things to call ‘racist’. If<br />

we could only find signs of life in other<br />

parts of our galaxy – and, even better,<br />

some evidence that these alien societies<br />

are not inclusive enough – then we can<br />

start making their lives a living hell, just<br />

like we’ve done on Earth.<br />

“Imagine, for instance, if we found<br />

little green men on Mars, but no<br />

disabled brown women? Horrendous.”<br />

Bunty Fumilow-Chumilough rushed<br />

into the club a few days ago and yelled:<br />

‘Now they’re changing the name of the<br />

bloody Royal Navy!’<br />

Total uproar caused, drinks trolley<br />

went over, Old Biles the tea boy pooped<br />

himself [he’s got a bum condition, you<br />

know. Someone said he was an active<br />

bummer in his youth and what happens<br />

with bummers is they bum so bloody<br />

much that their bums go wrong. For<br />

example when Biles farts he gets a sort<br />

of squelch that sounds like the trumpet<br />

melody from Coronation Street but<br />

slowed right down; bum worn out, you<br />

see.], and some old sea lord choked on<br />

a bit of beef Wellington. I put me back<br />

out giving him the Heimlich manoeuvre<br />

and when the morsel of beef welly shot<br />

out it landed on Bunty’s upper lip and<br />

made him look like Adolf Hitler.<br />

Anyway, Bunty had it all wrong of<br />

course. It’s not the Navy that’s getting<br />

a name change but British Sea Power,<br />

some pop group chappies. <strong>The</strong>y’ve<br />

dropped ‘British’ from their name.<br />

It’s all a lot of woke guff. As I<br />

understand it, when they started<br />

the band, the title was meant<br />

as ironic. Nowadays people<br />

can not only not take a<br />

joke, they can’t recognise<br />

one either, even if<br />

OUR ELDERLY PROPRIETOR SIR NORBERT<br />

Brace yersens for Sir Norbert’s bit<br />

It’s British woke power<br />

it comes towards them in a clown suit<br />

screaming ‘this is a joke’.<br />

So that’s it for British Sea Power. I<br />

was just saying what a pathetic bunch<br />

of middle-class PC creeps, typical<br />

toggle-coat-wearing nose-pickers, when<br />

my financial adviser came in and told<br />

me that I’ve got some money in the<br />

record company that owns the company<br />

that owns the company that owns them.<br />

He said it was clever of them to future<br />

proof the band for the ongoing cultural<br />

revolution, when anything that smacks<br />

of imperialism will be unacceptable to<br />

the ruling diktats of soft communism.<br />

I had a look at the figures and said,<br />

Jolly well right! Good on Sea Power.<br />

Sensible young chappies with an eye to<br />

market forces: they won’t sell too many<br />

records to man-bun types in Brighton<br />

with British in their name! Everyone<br />

in the club got cross, and even crosser<br />

when I suggested the band should rename<br />

themselves Pakistani Sea Power<br />

to make them even more playable<br />

on the BBC. Old Bunty physically<br />

attacked me and then Biles had to<br />

separate us – poor sod was walking<br />

extremely carefully as well<br />

(he’d just put a pessary up<br />

his bum. He’s got a bum<br />

condition, you know. His<br />

bum’s gone wrong).<br />

Terrorists get a bombing wall<br />

Terror bombers have been given a special<br />

area where they are allowed by law to set off<br />

bombs or blow themselves up.<br />

<strong>The</strong> so-called Bombing Wall follows the<br />

same principle as a ‘graffiti wall’ where<br />

paint-vandals are free to spray messages and<br />

pictures without landing themselves a fine or<br />

ending up in jail.<br />

Terrorist Ali bin-Ali Ali Mohammed bin<br />

Ali Mohammed said he was looking forward<br />

to using the new wall.<br />

He said: “I think it’s a good idea. We can<br />

now set our bombs off, and make our point,<br />

knowing that we won’t be prosecuted.<br />

“Let’s just hope the bombing wall becomes<br />

a popular tourist attraction.”<br />

Boom! But within the law<br />

You can get Covid from<br />

air fairies, says science<br />

So wear a mask – even if you’re alone<br />

in the countryside or in a large park<br />

People who wear Covid masks while walking<br />

alone in the middle of parks, fields and<br />

rural areas were vindicated yesterday after<br />

new science showed that it is possible to<br />

catch the virus from the “air fairies”.<br />

Until now these “ultra maskers” were<br />

seen by most thinking people as a little<br />

deranged but it now seems they were right<br />

all along.<br />

Doctor Terry Strangelove, from Flim<br />

Flam University, Wisconsin, said: “It’s<br />

Coughing air fairy<br />

Cough,<br />

cough<br />

important to follow the science. We carried<br />

out Covid tests on more than 1,000 air<br />

fairies and found 99 per cent of them were<br />

passing on Covid to ramblers and dog<br />

walkers.<br />

“It’s extremely difficult to get hold of<br />

these ‘sprite spreaders’ as they are always<br />

darting about, so we’re urging people to<br />

keep their masks on – even when walking<br />

alone in the countryside. <strong>The</strong> science, the<br />

science, follow the science, the science.”<br />

Pandemic grasses: A real snitch spirit<br />

People have been sharing stories of how<br />

everyone “really pulled together” and<br />

snitched on their neighbours during the<br />

Covid-19 crisis.<br />

Social media has been buzzing with<br />

stories of how much of the population<br />

bonded over a shared love of grassing<br />

up people down their street for not<br />

wearing masks and having one too<br />

many people in their homes.<br />

One said: “It was a really lovely<br />

atmosphere and we all pulled together<br />

to phone the police about anyone who<br />

wasn’t complying with the government’s<br />

made-up rules. It gives me a warm glow<br />

thinking about it. A real snitch spirit.”<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

GOING BENT: Straight, white<br />

men have been pretending to<br />

be gay to recoup a few woke<br />

points in today’s identity-politicscharged<br />

society, it has emerged.<br />

One straight, white man, known<br />

as Big Keith, said he was “really,<br />

really, really trying to be gay” but<br />

was finding it difficult. He said:<br />

“I’ve been buying Abba and Rufus<br />

Wainwright CDs, and telling all<br />

my friends that I’m a big fan of<br />

RuPaul’s Drag Race, but they’re<br />

not having it. I’ve even taken to<br />

wearing a feather boa down the<br />

King’s Arms. Maybe there’s more<br />

to being gay than this?”<br />

TERROR TRIALS: Incubating<br />

Jihadis is to become a new<br />

Olympic event, sports chiefs have<br />

said. Judges will look at which<br />

Western country can produce the<br />

most terrorists over a set period of<br />

time and award medals accordingly.<br />

Some nations have said the<br />

event is unfair because the UK,<br />

France and Germany will have<br />

an obvious advantage. A spokesman<br />

for the Olympic committee<br />

said: “Instead of moaning, these<br />

countries should create ghettos<br />

themselves that allow terrorism to<br />

breed. Don’t just sit there whining,<br />

do something about it.”<br />

WOKE HELP: A counselling<br />

service has been set up which will<br />

give much-needed psychological<br />

help to people who have been<br />

scarred and emotionally wounded<br />

after seeing a St George’s Flag.<br />

A spokesman said: “We decided<br />

to set this up when we saw more<br />

and more people who were visibly<br />

shaken and not coping very well<br />

after seeing these flags, especially<br />

around the time of the football<br />

World Cup and Euros when people<br />

were flying them more. Our methods<br />

involve shouting: “GROW UP<br />

FOR GOD’S SAKE!”<br />

Help! Flag!<br />

IN BRIEF<br />

THE NIGGLE MAGAZINE<br />

LONG SPAT: An argument about<br />

the UK’s relationship with Europe<br />

lasting 30 years finally came to<br />

an end this week. Brexiteer Dave<br />

Smith and Remainer Jeremy<br />

Huggins started their arguments<br />

long ago in a London pub and then<br />

continued on early online forums<br />

when the internet was invented.<br />

In the social media age they used<br />

MySpace, then Facebook, and,<br />

until recently, Twitter. Looking<br />

back, Dave said: “Neither of us<br />

gave an inch. It was completely<br />

pointless. In fact the only reason<br />

the argument finished is because<br />

Jeremy died. But I’m putting it<br />

down as a win.”<br />

KNEE WORKS: Critics of<br />

“taking the knee” who claim it is<br />

a meaningless gesture that does<br />

nothing to stop racism or do any<br />

real good in the World were left<br />

with egg on their faces this week<br />

after some astonishing news. <strong>The</strong><br />

FA has revealed that the act of<br />

placing a knee onto the surface<br />

of a pitch sets off an electrical<br />

impulse which causes a chain<br />

reaction of events that eventually<br />

leads to a Nigerian orphan being<br />

fed and housed in Lagos. A<br />

Football Association spokesman<br />

said: “So suck it up, haters!”<br />

BEEB NEWS: BBC reporters<br />

are to identify as journalists for<br />

one week, the corporation has<br />

announced. Instead of employees<br />

sitting in the newsroom trawling<br />

social media for the latest piece of<br />

outrage, the week-long journalists<br />

will be out and about, talking to<br />

real people – as well as looking at<br />

raw data and getting to the truth,<br />

rather than just rewriting press<br />

releases. A spokesman said: “It’s<br />

just a bit of fun for a week.”<br />

Just a thought ...<br />

You know it’s been a bad<br />

year when you hear an<br />

Extinction Rebellion crank<br />

say that the World’s going<br />

to end soon and you’re<br />

praying they’re right.<br />

It’s the Coronavirus<br />

Excuses Generator<br />

Simply pull down a lever to hear a<br />

panicky voice spew bogus science<br />

A Covid Excuses Generator has been<br />

developed allowing users to quickly come<br />

up with an excuse for any scenario.<br />

Created by scientist and engineer Heinz<br />

Klunky, the retro-looking machine –<br />

complete with a row of rusty old levers –<br />

has a handy excuse for anyone who dares<br />

to “question the science”.<br />

Simply pulling down a lever will activate<br />

a synthetic voice and broadcast one of the<br />

excuses through a loudspeaker.<br />

Prof Klunky said: “We’re very pleased<br />

SPORTS NEWS:<br />

Cheetahs can identify as <strong>10</strong>0m runners<br />

Cheetahs, the fastest land animals,<br />

will be able to compete in men’s <strong>10</strong>0m<br />

races if they choose to identify as<br />

‘human’, an Olympic spokesman said.<br />

Some athletes expressed concerns<br />

over the proposals saying this could<br />

mean the end of men’s sports.<br />

As we went to press, no cheetahs<br />

had yet come forward to compete in<br />

the next Olympics.<br />

with this. For instance, if someone dares to<br />

ask how the flu miraculously disappeared<br />

in 2020, a virus that has been with us for<br />

thousands of years, simply pull down this<br />

lever and the voice will say, ‘Err, err, it’s<br />

because everyone stayed indoors, it’s<br />

because everyone stayed indoors!’<br />

“And even if someone presses you on<br />

this and tells you you’re talking nonsense,<br />

simply pull this lever and it will say, ‘I’d<br />

rather listen to scientists than Dave off the<br />

internet. <strong>The</strong> science, the science, science.”<br />
