British Embassy In Washington To Erect Statue Of George III

Thank you, America

On the day when a tragically deluded USA foists yet another statue of Ronald Reagan on a strangely unimpressed world, Britain’s ambassador in Washington unveiled plans to erect a giant monument to America’s last monarch, George III, slap bang in the middle of the Washington Mall’s reflecting pool, which will undoubtedly amuse its hosts greatly with a huge fountain of water spraying endlessly from its private parts towards the Capitol.

“To be honest, we’d have clean forgotten barmy old George by now, but for the sterling efforts of FilmFour,” announced Sir Nigel Elton Sheinwald, “If millions of comments on YouTube are to be believed, however, it seems you chaps think of little else. So, to demonstrate the British people’s gratitude for the unsought gift of a statue of your greatest loony – which we hope to complement with the addition of his talented co-star, Bonzo - we’d like to return the favour by presenting you with one of ours.”
