One of Bucks Fizz has joined the Brexit Party – the only 9 catchy comebacks you need
The Brexit Party announced a load of intended parliamentary candidates a couple of weeks ago; the lucky gang having duly paid their £50 supporters’ fee, plus a non-refundable £100 to cover the cost of their application. That’s a hefty hourly rate for a lacky giving their form the once-over and saying “They’ll do.” However, they announced one candidate just yesterday, and it was a familiar face.

Eurovision winners – the irony – Bucks Fizz were known for a short string of hits and their two male, two female, all-blonde line-up, as well as the gimmick of tearing off the women’s skirts for their first hit, “Making Your Mind Up”. There followed a flurry of – mostly lyrically inspired – reactions.
These nine comebacks are better than any Jay Aston Colquhounis ever managed to pull off.

Who, in 1981, could have predicted that getting her skirt ripped off in front of 100s of millions of TV viewers wouldn't be the most embarrassing event in Jay's life. https://t.co/1B4xRzN2kX

Sweary fave, Malcolm Tucker Esq. thought she might have been trying to save her own skin.
It won’t save you Jay, your crimes against music will be tried in the ICC, not the EEC. https://t.co/GvujTh7RTs

That’s her motives exposed, then.
