Will this be the best April Fools joke ever?

[#1]

Comedian Eddie Izzard is going to replace Ms Shawcroft on Labours NEC!

Will this be the best April Fools joke ever in the national press.

Anti-Semitism does matter of course it does, but is the row is getting out of hand. One journalist described it as akin to putting a canary in a coal mine.

But Eddie Izzard, Really?

[#2]

Well, according to the rules Eddie is next in line and I am happy with that.

Why do you have a problem with it?

This made me smile:

Are you sure about that being an April fools joke or are you [-Censored-]ed off at the prices 

I'm open to offers for my Asus ROG Strix RX580 T8G

Why do I have a problem, well apart from having a history of backing lost causes, and despite his opposition to Brexit, I see him as nothing less than an opportunist for minority groups to have a voice not because they are any good, but because they challenge others to object to them.

Nothing worse than a bandwagon jumping 'celebrity' trying to get on a high political horse and y'know what, I cannot think of one that has made a success of it. I don't even find him funny, and he's supposed to be good at that. 

So there you go.

Really? Nothing? War? Famine? Nothing?

April Fool's Day. A day when people pause to think if that thing they read on the internet is true or not. A skill sorely lacking during the other 364 days of the year.

War, famine..... or just more of those squirrels.

Eddie Izzard joining the Labour NEC.

They'll be OK then when they need a shadow transgender minister . . .

Eddie, the automatic remote "off switch" for the Radio 4 Today programme.

Despite the media, cross-dresser surely? 

But who knows anything anymore.

I came out as transgender 30 years ago

Well there you go, but given that he does not dress as a female all the time I'm confused, but then so is he I guess.

Just so long as it does not frighten the horses.

Here's another good one I read somewhere - the EU is changing it's passports to dark blue!
