The problem with the right wing - they have no sense of humour!

Remember this:



Oh how we chortled and heard the chortles from others around the world at the wonder that was the Trump blimp
Now obviously those on the right were deeply offended on behalf of the Orange One and have plotted their revenge for quite literally months. Look at what they have come up with:



That's right a bikini clad Mayor of London blimp will fly in Parliament Square on the 1st of September, thus proving once and for all that the right have literally no sense of humour. Firstly, they are copy cats. Secondly - what the fuck is with the bikini?? What does that mean - I am assuming it is because on the funny blimp Trump is in a nappy - but that is funny because he is a big baby. But a bikini - there is no reference point that links the mayor and bikinis - it is just weird. Weird and slightly disturbing, but certainly not funny

The right wing of England - unfunny wankers the lot!

Peruse RW political cartoons sometime; little wit.

Peruse RW forums; jokes are weak and stink.

Peruse RW protest signs; insipid and often have spelling errors.

but they are nearly devoid of anyone or anything funny. Intentionally funny, that is.

Just watch the side-splitting laughter at his rallies. Especially when he does his signature impression of someone being "presidential", or the old "lock her up" standby, or the "Pocahantas" line.
He's like another Dennis Miller!

and with ridicule, rather than joyous fun. They're big on laughing AT, rather than with.
