0 Have your say “What do you think about Brexit?” was the probing question asked by the chair of a televised round table discussion involving some of the most prominent individuals in the UK today. “What’s that?” was the response of a blissfully ignorant participant for whom the agonies of EU withdrawal had somehow passed by.“We’re leaving the European Union,” Dani, the chair of the Love Island reality show’s impromptu panel on Brexit, patiently explained to her fellow contestant. “I seriously don’t have a clue,” was the admirably frank reaction of the blissfully ignorant individual - a 21-year-old model called Hayley who with her second contribution to the debate had managed to sum up how many others, including politicians, must feel about Brexit.“So...it was to leave the EU, so we wouldn’t be part of Europe,” explained one of the better-briefed panel members.“Which would mean, … [Read more...] about Tom Peterkin: Love Island Brexit chat almost as bad as real thing

If Brexit is about cutting down trees then all the planks are on Love Island
YOU cannot fail to have noticed the television theme, or irony, last week. Having force-fed the Suffragettes, back in the last century, it’s now the Suffragettes’ turn to force-feed us, in 2018. An endless, choking diet of documentaries, live events, lectures, news items and outright bollockings, from the BBC, all to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women getting the vote. Not one of which had as much impact as Love Island’s “Girl Power” task on ITV2, involving super-hero capes, bikinis, large items of fruit and narrator Iain Stirling explaining: “The girls will squish melons with their bums. Slowest girl to crush her melon is out of the contest.” Just part of the reason I adore a show which pricks pomposity and political correctness like nothing else on British television and is dedicated to no other purpose than entertaining its viewers. That’s the ideal, anyway. The reality’s been a bit more disappointing, so far, … [Read more...] about If Brexit is about cutting down trees then all the planks are on Love Island
For Love Island star Hayley and anyone else who’s never heard of Brexit – here’s why it’s all about to get messy again
BREXIT is a total headache for the Prime Minister, but Love Island's Hayley hasn't even heard of it. Last week the blonde model looked dazed and confused when her fellow villa mates chatted about politics around the pool. She was utterly baffled as her pals told the 21-year old that Britain was leaving the European Union, and even thought this meant we might have fewer trees. Viewers at home were left scratching their heads as to how she could have missed the biggest political event of the century. But to be honest, we know it's a complicated subject Hayley - and we don't blame you girls for having no idea what's going on. The whole thing is keeping Theresa May so busy that she hasn't even had time to check in to this year's Love Island at all. As the EU Withdrawal Bill returns to the House of Commons for a series of knife-edge votes this week, we've got some help for the Love Island ladies to understand what's really going on in our fight to quit the EU... What is Brexit? In … [Read more...] about For Love Island star Hayley and anyone else who’s never heard of Brexit – here’s why it’s all about to get messy again
Theresa May reveals she’s never seen Love Island after star Hayley Hughes was unaware what Brexit was
THERESA May has revealed she has never watched hit TV show Love Island - just as its stars snubbed her priority, Brexit. The PM came clean about her failure to understand the reality show craze sweeping Britain as she flew to the G7 summit in Canada. Mrs May was quizzed on her views on how more than twice the number of people applied to go on the ITV2 programme this year as tried to get into Oxbridge. The PM admitted: “I have a confession to make to you, I have never seen Love Island. “I’m probably not best placed to comment on the interests people have in Love Island.” Asked by The Sun if she would like a description of what happens on the sex-filled show to help her, the PM joked: “With actions?” In what served as a tit for tat response, one Love Island contestant has revealed that she knows nothing of Mrs May’s biggest political mission while in No10. When asked about Brexit, blonde model Hayley Hughes stunned viewers on Friday night by … [Read more...] about Theresa May reveals she’s never seen Love Island after star Hayley Hughes was unaware what Brexit was
Ayesha Hazarika: Brexit Britain – a bit like Love Island on Doomsday
0 Have your say It’s finally back. After all the waiting. The anticipating. Who knows what’s going to happen this time? The slightly mad characters. All the weird hook-ups and drama that lies ahead. I cannot wait. No ... this not the return of Love Island – but the EU Withdrawal Bill, back to the House of Commons. Just when you thought it was safe, Brexit is back. The Prime Minister has a habit of ruining my life. Last year, she announced a snap general election on the first day of my stand-up tour all about politics, “State of the Nation”, which I had spent months carefully crafting and honing and then had to rip up and re-write in a mad panic. Now, she’s ruined the party to launch my new book (Punch and Judy Politics – An Insiders’ Guide to Prime Minister’s Questions) by deciding to bring back this pesky Brexit Bill to the House of Commons on the very same day – Tuesday, 12th June. What have I ever done to this … [Read more...] about Ayesha Hazarika: Brexit Britain – a bit like Love Island on Doomsday
