Change UK vetting process fails to spot Nazi crocodile

A Nazi crocodile saying 'Vote CHUK in the European Elections"

Change UK (CHUK) is having a bit of a shitemare when it comes to picking candidates for the European elections:

 

Somehow, this crisis has worsened. It turns out its latest pick is a paid-up member of the British Nazi Party. He’s also – somewhat inexplicably – a crocodile.

Oh, snap

A spokesperson from CHUK said:

We have a very serious vetting process, actually. First we ask people if they’re available at the end of May. Then we ask how highly they rate capitalism on a scale of ‘chill’ to ‘super chill’. In the future, we’ll also be asking candidates if they’re crocodiles.

A journalist wondered if there’d also be some sort of screening for bigotry. The spokesperson huffed:

Look, we stand against bigotry in all its forms. However, if people want to indulge in racism in the privacy of a 2016 Twitter message, who are we to criticise?

CHUK swapped this gentleman out for a new spokesperson at this point. His replacement said:

Having discussed his past comments, my predecessor has agreed to step down. Change UK completely opposes bigots. In fact, that’s all we’re doing right now. They seem to have joined our party en masse for some reason.

Jokes

Look – obviously this story is a big joke. The idea that the media would give serious coverage to these scandalous candidates is laughable. Ha ha ha.

And by the way, that crocodile ate Mike Gapes. Tragic. Especially for CHUK, as it means the Marxists got it right – capitalism really will eat itself.

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.
