Headline of the year (so far)

Today is 20200202, a very special date for Chinese and other numerologists. Why? Because it's a palindrome. Geddit? We will not see another one until... errr... we won't see another one.

32 days have passed into history. The funniest "news" headline I've seen so far this year is this one, from the Babylon Bee:

Boris Johnson Blows Conch Shell,

England Carried Away By Herd Of Manatees

And here's the illustration that goes with it.

Guess it has something to do with Brexit! Please keep in mind, dear readers, that the Babylon Bee is a purveyor of "fake news you can trust".

Breaking news: The latest real news from Old Blighty is that "a man" was fatally shot by armed police officers in south London, after a "terrorist-related", according to the Metropolitan Police. In a tweet Sunday morning, Inspector Knacker of the Yard said a "number of people" had been stabbed at Streatham High Road, but that the attacker had been killed. Nothing, of course, about the attacker's nationality, ethnicity or religion. "Allahu akbar!"?

Further reading: "London terrorist identified as Muslim. Sorry, suckers!", WWW 30/11/19... just over two months ago. That's why I'm not even going to bother reporting these "incidents" any more.
