What a Carry On as Twitter challenge leads to more embarrassment for the Tories

Last Updated: October 18, 2020By Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

Dream casting: a Carry On Film about the current government (Carry On Cocking Up?) would feature Charles Hawtrey (right) as Jacob Rees-Mogg and Hattie Jacques as Boris Johnson.

A humorous challenge on Twitter has led to embarrassment for the Johnson government as users lined up to mock ministers’ efforts to contain Covid-19, control migrants and continue with Brexit.

Some entries just took potshots at the Tories, their cronies, and other politicians:

And, in fairness, some focused on our own behaviour in the face of the crises into which the Tories have pitched us:

Does anybody else suddenly want to watch a real Carry On film now? Those were simpler times – if only in terms of what passed as entertainment…

    Thank you for a much needed smile. It’s great that even in these dire times so many people can think up clever quips like these to cheer us up a bit. The Carry On films were indeed cringe making, but not as much as this bloody government!
