Cameron and Osborne plot post-Brexit careers, Off The Perch helps out
And so David Cameron and (probably) George Osborne are gone – the result of a referendum that Cameron called himself – a lengthy and undignified spectacle which unfolded like a man slow-motion punching himself in the crotch.
But what’s next for the derelict duo?
Here are some of our top suggestions:
SCARECROWS
Although their ability to scare away birds is likely to be minimal, this referendum has shown that they do repel one group, and that’s voters. As such, George and Dave could could get a cushy job as scarevoters – the idea being that politicians would prop these two up in front of their enemies’ campaigns to ward off the electorate.
You might think that this sounds like a bit of a silly notion, but remember that people have been doing it with Tony Blair for years.
JAMES BONDS
Read on...
There’s been a lot of talk about what sort of Bond we should have next – with people questioning if it’s time for a female or non-white Bond.
But how about we forget all of that and have two Bonds who are just really terrible at their jobs?
You can’t say it wouldn’t be original.
Possible storylines could involve the Bonds opposing Blofeld by covertly selling weapons to him through some sort of proxy, or branding anyone who refuses to sleep with them as ‘terrorist sympathisers’ and calling them out on Twitter.
CLOWNS
As a chancellor who failed to juggle any of his responsibilities and a PM who is primarily famous for hijinx with animals, you could argue that this pair of fools have been in the clowning game for some time.
TOWEL FOLDERS
The only other job that George has known.
David, meanwhile, had lots of jobs as a young man, but as we’ve already made one #PigGate reference, we should probably just leave that one there.
DICK DASTARDLY AND MUTTLEY
A natural fit, as one of them is a snickering side-kick, and the other is a dick.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
