The
Ant and The Grasshopper
THE CLASSIC VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a
fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is
warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he
dies out in the cold.

THE BRITISH VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and
laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and
well fed.
The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the
ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate,
like him, are cold and starving.
The BBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper; with
cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable warm home with a table laden
with food.
Britons are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is
allowed to suffer so while others have plenty.
The Labour Party, Greenpeace and The Grasshopper Council of GB demonstrate in
front of the ant's
house. The BBC, interrupting a Jamaican cultural festival special from Notting
Hill with breaking
news, broadcasts them singing "We Shall Overcome"
Ken Livingstone rants in an interview with Trevor McDonald that the ant has
gotten rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike
on the ant to make him pay his "fair share".
In response to polls, the Labour Government drafts the Economic Equity and
Grasshopper Anti
Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant's taxes are reassessed, and he is also fined for failing to hire
grasshoppers as helpers.
Without enough money to pay both the fine and his newly imposed retroactive
taxes, the government
repossesses his home.
The ant moves to Spain, and starts a successful wine-exporting company.
A Panorama special later shows the now fat grasshopper finishing up the last
of the ant's food, though Spring is still months away, while the council house
he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him
because he hasn't bothered to maintain it.
Inadequate government funding is blamed, Trevor Phillips is appointed to head
a commission of
enquiry that will cost £10,000,000.
The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose, the Daily Mirror blames it on
the obvious failure
of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social
inequity.
The abandoned house is taken over by a gang of immigrant spiders, praised by
the government for
enriching Britain's multicultural diversity, who promptly set up a marijuana
plantation and terrorise the community.
Welcome to Britain divided and ruled by the dictat of the Unarguably corrupt
EU where Massively Expensive Parasites Are bribed to sell the EU’s mad
policies such as CAP Where French part time farmers who are incapable of
Raising a lettuce without subsidy receive more money For each cow than the
average wage in the third world.
The EU society that pays cows more than people!
GET BRITAIN BACK for indigenous hard working ants!
