British Parliament Forms July 4 Commission To Investigate Colonial Insurrection
The Babylon Bee ^ | July 4, 2022

The British parliament has convened for an emergency session to investigate the events of July 4th, 1776 in the colonies across the Atlantic. Sources indicate an illegal insurrection took place there that cost many lives.

"Blimey! These cheeky colonists are quite literally — and I'm LITERALLY not exaggerating here — an existential threat to democracy!" said MP Peasley Peckinposh III to a chorus of "hear hears."

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has directed the House of Commons and the House of Lords to form a committee that will hold televised hearings on the matter every night for at least 100 fortnights. "We have to get to the bottom of this, and find out what these dodgy Americans are up to," he said.

The commission is already prepared to read the 250-year-old testimony of an American defector who claims George Washington grabbed the reigns of his horse and assaulted him on his way to Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

Nonsense. Washington joined the British army twice. He’s not the sort of fellow to just join some ragtag rebellion. And Benjamin Franklin’s son is the Crown Governor of New Jersey so you know he’s loyal too. Fake news.

Well, you know what they say, every third member of the Continental Army is a federal agent of the British Crown!

Liz Cheney should move to Essex, she might be able to get elected to parliament from there.

I’m astounded by the vast number of people who don’t know the difference between “reign” and “rein.”

Autocorrect is as useless as the “transpose” button on an electronic keyboard.
