MI5 is recruiting vets to halt the spread of communist cats and terrorist guinea pigs
Rupert Murdoch has asked his best chums at MI5 to recruit vets as a “matter of urgency” and in the “interests of national security”. As his impartial tabloid The Times reported [paywall], suspicious cats and guinea pigs are at large in the UK:
Murdoch insists these beasts can provide evidence that will explain why Jeremy Corbyn is to blame for the Salisbury poisoning.
Piddle
Robert Brown, a vet from Lower Piddle in Dorset, spoke exclusively to Off The Perch. He said:
It’s well known by vets that cats are communists. I mean, you’ve only got to look at the way they behave. And guinea pigs were spotted at nearly every recent terrorist attack in the UK. Obviously, this isn’t common knowledge. But I think it’s fair to say that the cat is well and truly out of the bag now. Excuse the pun.
Brown added:
That’s why, on our incomes, most vets have dogs as pets.

Pause
Off The Perch contacted Corbyn, a well-known cat lover, for comment. He was not available, but a spokesperson said on his behalf:
Jeremy would like you to know that he thinks the current escalation of events needs pause for thought. He will comment further soon.
Recruitment
Murdoch promised MI5 that he’ll run a free recruitment campaign in his papers to ensure they find the best vets in the country. Off The Perch has seen a preview of copy that will appear in papers from 6 April. Questions include:
- Do you like vodka?
- Have you ever taken a cat-nap at work?
- Can you imitate a guinea pig squeak?
- List three more things that Jeremy Corbyn is responsible for.
- Have you ever voted for a winner on Britain’s Got Talent?
With this rigorous approach, Murdoch said he will “cleanse the country of communist cats”. And Jeremy Corbyn.

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.
