 UK spine removal takes 72 days

After marathon surgery lasting 72 days and requiring teams of political surgeons working in shifts, many brought in from around Europe, the operation to remove the United Kingdom's spine has been successfully completed. The patient is in intensive care and her condition is described as poor. A visitor from Lithuania who was allowed to spend a few moments at the UK's bedside emerged looking pale and said the UK looked 'weak'. The conclusion of the procedure was greeted with quiet satisfaction by specialists in Russia, where the technique was inspired.

And all the Eastern Europeans seem to have gone home too.
Funny that.

So no gas or oil of our own.
No electricity generating capacity in UK hands
No East Europeans to pick the sprouts or cabbage
Chavs all refuse to work claiming incapacity benefit
Shops giving stuff away to people who haven't got any money

Merry Christmas everyone
