By some traditions, yes. Volcanic sacrifice was particularly popular in the Victorian Era, for example. Unfortunately for fans of the method (and fortunately for those who live in these areas) most of the best volcanoes were in the outer territories of the former British Empire, which are now independent.

I’m sure Ben Nevis is due another pop any time now, but until then “1, 2, 3, into the sea!” :)

That’s a very good question. I think in that case we have to assume “drowned: apply to join the EU”. If he turns up mysteriously alive at a later date, we can set fire to him etc “in arrears”.

These are very sensible and fair plans - though you have to be careful not to make it too much fun, else people might be inclined to say “delay the EU application another month, next week they’re throwing Farage in with some bears! I must see that!”.

Referendums don’t always work, so instead we should throw Nigel Farage into the sea.

If he drowns, we apply to join the EU.
If he floats, we fish him out of the sea and try and set him on fire. If he burns, we apply to join the EU. If he doesn’t burn, we “nexit” him with a guillotine and apply to join the EU.

Burtle zed.

This is a good and thorough answer, and it is likely entirely correct.

I still think traitorous cunts made a ton of money off it though :)

Because some people stood to become personally very rich off the back of it, and were willing to damage a whole nation for their own benefit, because they’re traitorous cunts.

I wonder what percentage of these were made up by Boris Johnson writing for the Daily Telegraph in the mid-90s?
