Queen Accepts Scotland’s Apology

[GBCW 397]

LONDON (The Borowitz Report) – In the aftermath of Scotland’s “no” vote in the referendum on becoming an independent country, Queen Elizabeth II, of Great Britain, took to the airwaves on Friday morning to inform the people of Scotland that she “graciously and wholeheartedly” accepted their apology.

“Although the matter of independence has been settled, one question remains very much open,” she said in an address televised across Scotland. “And my answer to that question is this: yes, I forgive you.”

The Queen made only scant reference to her obscenity-laden tirade on Thursday, in which she reamed the Scots for even considering breaking away from the United Kingdom.

“Like any parent with a naughty child, I became a little cross,” she said. “I forgive you for provoking me.”

The Queen ended Friday’s address to the Scottish people on a conciliatory note. “Let us all, each and every one of us, move forward now as one great nation, enjoying the benefits and the history of our glorious and historic union,” she said. “Even the forty-five percent of you who are wankers.”

Satire people........ satire

That makes no difference to some. Reports indicate that the queen said that. That's good enough for a certain population. And there is a report that indates that - the Borowitz Report.

This recent thread comes to mind - outrage based on satire picked up from "The National Report": http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/514826-three-of-five-detainees-swapped-are-now-isis-leaders/

It's how the far right fringe rolls...

Rumour has it the Queen has a temper on her. Supposedly she hates Camilla and was reportedly overheard referring to her as a "Horseface M##########R"

England, my England, the home of the free

When people find out I'm British, the next question is invariably a form of "well, which part are you from?" And this website doesn't have the Portsmouth city crest as an option, so the cross of St George will just have to do.
