Grinch accuses May of stealing his plan to cancel Christmas

Theresa May is threatening to cancel Christmas if her deal isn’t voted through parliament:

Parliament isn’t likely to agree to May’s Brexit plan, because it isn’t the Christmas cracker they want – more of an undercooked turkey. Despite that, May’s plan to ruin the holiday is already taking a stuffing. Largely because the Grinch has issued a cease and desist letter.

Not very merry

The Grinch has been plotting to ruin Christmas for several decades. He’s never actually managed it, but he has made a great deal of money selling merchandise. With that in mind, he copyrighted the concept of ‘ruining Christmas’.

Speaking to Off The Perch, the Grinch told us why May poses a threat to him:

“I’ve worried she’s ripping me off for a while,

Just look at that frown! Clearly my style!

Read on...

And observe her hatred of humanity,

None would deny that she took that from me.

But too far she took it, and went after Christmas!

That shall not stand, as Santa’s my witness!

I called up my lawyers and set them upon her.

Now I can’t say more about this legal matter.”

No, no, no

May has denied that she stole the idea from the Grinch. Her nose grew as she said it though, which landed her in further legal trouble – this time with the puppet Pinocchio.

‘Tis the season to be a wally, it seems.

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.
