EAST RENFREWSHIRE —In a stunning new and wacky twist to recent events Blair McDougall who ‘ran the winning campaign to keep the UK together’ has revealed that Brexit is all just a massively elaborate practical joke.
In 2014 McDougall’s BetterTogether had told people in Scotland that the way to stay in the EU was to vote No to independence.
That claim had looked increasingly suspect when, despite voting No to independence as instructed and then No to the Tories and No to their Brexit, it seemed Scotland would be taken out of the EU anyway. However today’s made up news has allayed those fears.
“It’s just a prank. The whole thing. A few of us in the office had the idea of Brexit as this funny gag to play on people and it kinda just snowballed from there. But don’t worry, we said ‘vote No to stay in the EU’ and we meant it.” McDougall said the decision to call an end to the joke came when Boris Johnson became Prime Minister. Especially after he’d also “said that would never happen”. “What started out as genuine, lighthearted, fun started to feel a bit cruel. We were like ‘Okay, that’s enough now. Let’s leave Scotland alone’. ”
