April Fool 2016

It's hard getting one past you these days but I was half-way through this piece before it clicked. The Daimlers gave it away: 

Exclusive: royal family considering dramatic Brexit intervention

Probably incomprehensible outside Europe.

Just posted it in Pics thread. Thought it particularly appropriate after cartoon posted by Erwbol.

One that wasn't an April Fool but sounds like it was.

The other day a petition to have Parliament recalled to discuss the steel crisis got enough signatures for it to be raised in Parliament. But Parliament is in Easter recess so it can't be raised until they return. 

I also liked the one today about Olivia Coleman being chosen as the next James Bond:

(Her character in the recent 'The Night Manager' was adapted from a male part in the original novel)

Though maybe the funniest thing there is the Daily Mail making a joke instead of screaming at its readers about some 'politically correct' outrage!
