The news in brief 21st February 2016

Today's news in brief:

Passionate about politics? So are we. Care about the future of the United Kingdom? So do we. Bothered about impartiality in your journalism? Us too. So here’s our completely impartial guide to the upcoming referendum:

Reasons to stay in the European Union:

If you didn’t know any better, it could be pronounced European Onion

We can go back to our traditional eight day week, and drive on the right hand side of the road again

France

We won’t have to find a new Currywurst dealer

We won’t have to come up with a new name for the Eurostar when it goes in the other direction

Unrestricted access to Berlin’s marmalade fountains

It’ll keep the undead spirit of zombie Napoleon down for another thousand years

We’d have to hold another referendum afterwards to see if we should go back to a flat-earth belief system

We’d have to start hiring privateers again  


Reasons to leave the European Union:  

We can stop pretending that pancakes are called ‘crepes’

We can abandon reason and logic and return to ass-backwards imperial measurements  

France  

Snickers, Cif and Star Burst can change back to Marathon, Jif and Opal Fruits

We can totally start hiring privateers again

Without Berlin’s marmalade fountains, Wale’s jam mines will reopen

Winston Churchill will return from Avalon and lead us to a new golden age

Knobbly pint glasses

Reading the news so you don’t have to...
