Somali Tribesman Runs for President of Former British Colony in Americas



According to grubby proletarian reporters from the Manchester Guardian, a Somali goatherder is running for President of our former colonies in the Americas. This points out a couple of failings:
  • We should have beaten them in the 1775-1783 and 1812-1815 wars
  • This is a cautionary tale about the folly of democracy . . . GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
  • We should immediately re-invade the colonies to liberate loyal tories.

  1. I think his turban clashes with his Ralph Lauren polo shirt and Dockers brand khaki pants combo.

    I'm assembling my regiment AT THIS MOMENT for use in a possible invasion.

  3. Lord Turnip,
    Why sir, that would be HRM's Royal Eppington Fusiliers.

  4. I was thinking of buying a colonelcy in this regiment but they outlawed the practice.

  5. If you join my regiment I must insist that you keep your incessant prattling about turnips to an appropriate minimum.

  6. Join your regiment? No sir! I'm a cavalry man as all noblemen should be.

  7. Well certainly if you can't affoard a regiment of your own, then the cavalry is a perfectly acceptable alternative.

  8. There is where you are wrong my good man. The incredible popularity of the turnip as a truck vegetable and our vast land holdings have made the Townshend's enormous sums of money. Of course it is so very vulgar to speak of such things.
