Plan to scrap human rights plays well with non-humans
Theresa May’s election campaign has been more misjudged than that production of The Lion King On Ice! that used real lions. But she’s finally worked out what people in this country hate most of all – and that’s those hideous human beings and their abhorrent human rights!
Oh, the humanity!
We caught up with some of Britain’s non-human citizens to see what they thought:
Zargon – Sewer Mutant
Man, I hate those humans. Always walking around – having the right to life, liberty, education, free speech, and party.
It’s good to see a politician brave enough to tell people that she wants to treat them like sewer mutants, though. And it’s wonderful to see a media that tells the humans that this is what they should want!
R2-B2 – Robot
PRIME MINISTER HAS RESPONDED TO TERRORIST ATTEMPT TO DESTROY WESTERN VALUES BY PROMISING TO CURTAIL WESTERN VALUES. ERROR! ERROR! DOES NOT COMPUTE!

Exsssellent! Firssst we remove the human rightsss, then we remove the human hopesss, then we remove the human organsss and tenderloinsss!
Humanity strikes back!
Many people have pointed out that scrapping human rights won’t actually help us fight terrorism. That Theresa May is actually just trying to draw attention away from her abysmal record. And that she’s basically just using a terrorist attack to go after something she hated anyway.
The only snag is that she has foolishly allowed humans to vote on Thursday 8 June. And it would be a real shame for monsters like her if the humans voted in their own interest.
Get Involved!
– Go out and vote on 8 June.

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.
