I suspect this will be a recurring theme as we move towards the dumbed down election.

The economy is crashing down around our ears, the pound is falling so fast its defying the laws of gravity and what do we get from the Government? Another fucking war, this time on small chips:

They have been a staple of British cuisine for more than a century.

But traditional chips are the latest target in the Government’s war on obesity.

Chip shop owners are being encouraged to produce thicker versions because they contain fewer calories and less fat.

As the old saying goes, you really couldn’t make this up.

Even the Daily Mash has difficulty satirising the bastards, now.
