Good old Remainiacs: where would be without them? It is eight years now since the UK voted to quit the EU and nearly five since we actually left – but a small band of Hiroo Onoda-impressionists are still refusing to accept those basic facts. Chief among them is ‘Led by Donkeys’, the self-identifying ‘satirists’ who claim to bravely be speaking truth to power.
Now it hasn’t escaped Steerpike’s attention that the group is extremely selective in who it judges to be the powerful. The group tends to pick Tories as its targets, such as ex-MP Liz Truss, rather than, er, the actual Labour government who run this country today. Still, at least they could get the ‘truth’ part right eh?
Sadly not, it seems. For the latest Led by Donkeys campaign takes aim at the monarchy. The group released a video of the RNLI lifeboat station in Sennen Cove, Cornwall, following a Channel 4 investigation about the Royal Family’s finances.
