The dog meat ban will also outlaw eating cat meat. "Eating pussy" could be interpreted as either the consumption of feline flesh or the act of cunnilingus. Since the law will ban the former, the poster is suggesting that, due to the double meaning, it would also ban the latter. This is a "pun;" a joke which relies on a word or phrase having multiple meanings and conflating them.

I'm sorry, I thought it was funny. And I wouldn't be human if I didn't want to share my terrible pun :(

The post you're quoting is making fun of the person who wasn't getting your joke, not you.

Please don't shoot the rabbits, the UK is losing an incredible amount of biodiversity compared to the rest of the planet already.

Not necessarily more than anywhere else, it could look that way because the UK is studied more than a lot of other countries.

Insect numbers are down massively all over the world.

But the UK is still likely to be worst-affected as we're the first country about to adopt a nationwide insect and tree bark diet.

I'm going to tuck into some gammon before hitting the bark and insects.

It's been marinading in sherry and ale for decades so it should be delicious.

This isn't even controversial. People vote Tory because they promise to scrap human rights protections. This is a positive story for the majority of Tory voters.

What sort of lovely jams do you Brits eat, jam is like the ultimate mold resistant superfood. I've had an open jar of jam in the fridge for like two years and it's still as good as new.

I humbly offer my services as forum inquisitor. There is absolutely no way I would abuse this power in any way.


i want to reassure the british people itt that they’re not alone: the unpreparedness of the british customs is rivaled by that of the french customs

we don’t have the infrastructure, the people sent to deal with the increase in traffic are only currently being recruited and have no experience of customs work, there will not be enough veterinarians for the inspections, we’re expecting that st pancras will have room to house a bunch of french customs officers on rotation, they’re supposed to create a new statute for certain administrative personnel who will have to do night shifts, and so on

so our own incompetence will compound yours!

I don't like the journalist's style (he's got that annoying Louie Theroux manner of acting like a clueless innocent all the time) but it's interesting to hear what the people on the border have to say. See if you can guess where they have to go to find someone who actually supports Brexit, and even wishes that things could "go back to the way they were 40 years ago"!

The Brits have decided to mitigate the problem by ignoring it, I doubt the French will be so accommodating.

while the rear end in a top hat does provide a delicious vanilla secretion suitable for low grade icemilk and other cheap treats, the tail of the beaver is something you’d have to be tricked into eating. from what I’m told they’re foul

There's going to be a lot of Unionist defectors after Brexit takes hold, because they'll know materially they're better off as part of the EU under reunification with Ireland.

The question is what are the Tories in London and the Protestant diehards going to do?
