    A bit outdated but nearly relevant...

    LORDS PUT THEIR CLAUSE INTO HOMOSEXUALS
    ---------------------------------------
    The Lords has voted by 109 sets of false teeth to 81 hearing aids that
    'heterosexuality should be positively promoted'. Many members were
    almost conscious throughout a debate which lasted at least three minutes
    and during which copies of 'Jenny Lives With Three Abseiling Lesbians'
    were distributed. The major speeches were as follows:
    Lord Girlie-Mag of Porn Empire: My noble lords, I propose this bill as
    someone who has sought unceasingly to promote heterosexual values
    through my publications Wankhouse, Wankfair and Playwank. It is only
    natural that young children should be exposed to such educational
    material at as early an age as possible. (Sound of hear-hears and
    rustle of glossy magazines.)
    Lord Child-Molester of Incest: Quite so! Quite so! Heterosexual values
    have made this country what it is today, one in which a woman armed with
    a Kalashnikov and an air-raid siren can walk the streets at night in
    complete safety.
    Bishop Gummer of Condom Culture: (rising into the air to the accompan-
    iment of heavenly choirs) It is time that the Church of England
    re-established its moral leadership and restored traditional values -
    such as those of the family. Let us once more follow in the Christian
    way...er, well I know Christ came from a broken home. I mean, ok, so
    his mother was made pregnant by a deity who then deserted he...er,
    alright, so she was made homeless and eventually shacked up with a
    sugar-daddy carpenter. I realise that Christ did go round picking
    up a series of men and that he lived with twelve men under one roof,
    and that he took part in rituals in which he offered up his 'body'
    to all those present...er, but really my Lords, were any of the
    disciples called Barry of Colin? Did they appear in seamy pinko soaps
    during peak family viewing? Did they set up a helpline on the rates?
    Did they choose to wear check shirts and grow handlebar moustaches?
    Did they insist on playing Communards records? I think not. Praise
    the Lord and pass the bill!
    The debate was ended by Baroness Suffragette City who swung through
    the chamber chained to a rope and yelling, "vote's for women! Vote's
    for women!" She was led away, but then tried to throw herself beneath
    a passing tea trolley.
    Late result: Civil Liberties 0, Forces of Reaction 1 (Goerring)

    POLL TAX 'SECRETS' REVEALED
    ---------------------------

    A top secret government document leaked to us has revealed the poll tax
    was the invention of a crack team of civil servants. Instructed by Mrs.
    Thatcher that they were to produce a tax that was regressive, divisive,
    and totally unjust, they were then locked in a padded cell with liberal
    quantities of magic mushrooms, neat tequila and several copies of Mein
    Kampf. One week later they emerged, having written several songs for
    Rick Astley and the Pet Shop Boys and bearing the legislation for
    "poll-tax".
    The leaked document also reveals how the poll-tax will be administered:
    * Everyone over 18 will have to wear a beacon strapped to their heads.
    * When the beacon begins to flash, there will be four minutes to pay
    the poll-tax.
    * If the tax is not paid within the specified time, a small thermo-
    nuclear device will be detonated beneath the non-payer.
    * There will be seven days to lodge an appeal if anyone feels they
    have been unfairly 'nuked'.

    NHS SEIZED
    ----------

    Mrs.Thatcher was forced to seize personal control of the NHS today
    when everyone in the country moved to Sweden for their health care.
    "I beat the miners, now I'll beat the sick", she said at a news
    conference in an abandoned hospital somewhere near you this afternoon.
    She later tried unsuccessfully to teach herself liver transplantation
    in a vain attempt to save her husband.
