Quotes
edit- Your Prime Minister, your MP, Theresa May, called this election about Brexit. Have we heard from her what she plans to do about Brexit? No. This is mad. On Thursday, you are going to be faced with Prime Minister May, or Prime Minister Corbyn, against twenty-seven prime ministers from the European Union. It will be a shitshow.

Quotes about Lord Buckethead
edit- Lord Buckethead is an intergalactic space lord who ran on a platform of, among other things, "the abolition of the House of Lords (except me)" and "stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia, start buying lasers from Lord Buckethead." And he did this all while looking like Darth Vader fucked an Amazon Echo.
