In a move that Chancellor Berdryn described as ‘a step closer to perfect democracy’, the Rump Party’s three senators yesterday announced their intention to open talks about a ‘face and hands’ deal with the ruling coalition.

To be honest, I’m not even very sure what a bobbin is. Presumably it was important at the time. Over 200 people died in the Yarnwinder Riots, after all.
