Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Simple economics have changed drastically since I went to school

'John takes an apple to school, he decides to share it with his 3 friends . . each gets half an apple'


nowadays:

John takes an apple to school, his new 56 friends want a share . . he tells them to bugger off and eats it himself. There is no waste bin in the school yard so he drops the apple onto the floor. Immediately his parents are hit with a £2400 fine for littering. Word gets out onto social media, John's father loses his job, his mother is excluded from the nagging wives cult. They have to sell their house and live in a broken down caravan on a derelict car park. As there is now no money coming into the household, John no longer takes an apple to school.

The End
