Jeremy Corbyn has pledged to support the Conservative Party’s promise to repeal the fox hunting ban.
This appears to be the result of him mishearing “hunting” and believing they are intent on repealing a ban on “bunting”.
“Why shouldn’t a fox be accorded the honour of traditional British acclamation?” Mr Corbyn told reporters waiting outside his allotment this morning.
“Many city foxes are very tame and will eat vegetarian food if only given the opportunity. They should be rewarded by nicely made home crafts dedicated in their honour.”
Mr Corbyn seems convinced that foxes will sit nicely for photographs so long as they are certain of a plate of hummus afterwards and are positioned underneath bunting.
“It’s what Keir Hardie would have wanted. A complete repeal of the ban on bunting. And people say I don’t support British traditions? They should try listening to what I actually say now and again, such as Brexit means Brexit and just watch us keep those American imperialist dogs at bay afterwards.”
At this point Mr Corbyn resumed digging a crater sized hole in his allotment before asking Diane to fetch a nice bit of bunting to string over the entrance.
