Motor Mouths

The Caudillo of the Farage Falange has expressed concern that the robust British sense of humour is being eaten away by battalions of laughter-challenged wogs, chinks, ting-tongs, gippos, pakis and poofters. The Caudillo was having a bit of a blather on LBC radio, about one of the latest candidates to resign from the party after using racist language. The Farage Falange is a non-racist party where racists are not allowed, and the Caudillo pointed out that this particular candidate was raised on a council estate: the kind of place where, in the Caudilo's experience, most people talk like that, though entirely without the sort of malice that invariably characterises the politically-correct brigade.

The Caudillo also claimed that he was joking when he blamed immigrants for the motorway congestion that supposedly prevented his attending a recent rally. "No one's got a sense of humour any more," lamented the Caudillo, whose standard mode of discourse is, of course, a perpetual model of well-considered sobriety. Regrettably, the Caudillo does not appear to have offered similar clarification for any of his other public statements, many of which are almost as sensible as the motorway joke or the Falange's 2010 manifesto.
