CAN THE WOKE TAKE A JOKE ?

We put snowflake celebs to the humour test with lightheart­ed April Fools’ pranks

- BY UNDERCOVER REPORTER MAHATMA MACAROON

ASK any upstanding Brit to name their favourite day of the year that isn’t Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Easter Sunday, St George’s Day, Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, Halloween or their birthday, and you’ll get the same answer every time: April Fools’ Day. Or Pancake Day.

April 1st is the wacky 24 hours in which we are permitted – or even encouraged

– to play good-natured pranks on our nearest and dearest. And from Land’s End to John O’Groats, this traditiona­l day of merriment makes every one of us proud to be British.

Well... perhaps not quite every one of us.

For the humourless, virtue-signalling, liberal elite, PC Brigade, snowflake remoaner CELEBS would have you believe that April Fools’ Day is an offensive archaic custom.

These toffee-nosed ‘woke’ A-Listers are

intent on sucking the fun out of every great British tradition – be it eating meat, driving fast cars or pursuing lengthy campaigns of thinly veiled racial abuse through the tabloid press. And as such, it would be no surprise if, this year, the ‘elf-n-safety’-obsessed showbiz loony left wanted to cancel April Fools’ Day altogether.

Ask any sane person and they’ll tell you:

it’s political correctnes­s gone MAD. April Fools’ is our last bastion of Englishnes­s – a glorious comedic ritual that dates back to the building of Stonehenge – and we at Viz are not going to sit idly by and let it be trampled into the dust by a load of pompous fucking hypocrites in their elitist Hampstead bubbles.

So we sent our award winning investigat­ive reporter, MAHATMA

MACAROON, undercover to play a few cheeky, light-hearted April 1st japes on the UK’s highest profile snowflakes – to see if these sanctimoni­ous stuck-up arseholes

REALLY consider our National Day of Laughter a step too far.

See what Mahatma uncovered when he asked the question... Can the WOKE take a JOKE?
