"TERROR ALERT MUSTARD YELLOW IN LONDON!"
Failing to support "The War on McDonald's" in the UK is tantamount to scoffing at "The War on Terror" in the USA. Unnoticed by most viewers was the lapel pin worn by Prince Charles, opposite the one depicting a tiny Union Jack. The other lapel was pinned with a tiny Big Mac pin with a red circle and diagonal line across it signifying the "War on McDonald's." The Prince is expected to name American film maker Sir Roger Moore as the first Director of Home Island Security, Office of Caloric Counter Insurgency.
A measure before Parliament would combine 17 agencies under control of Sir Roger, including "The Burger King Abdication Department" and "The French Fried Potatoes anti-proliferation unit of the Fish and Chips Department" to name just two.
The feisty Prince is expected to appear before the United Nations Security Committee with detailed photos and lots of red circles and arrows giving an indisputable account of the enemies intent to produce "Weapons of Mass Calories." WMCs being illegal in all but the most starving nations will be used as the excuse for sending Buckingham Palace Guards through the Golden Arches to topple the dictatorship of Ronald McDonald who has committed unspeakable atrocities including scalding old ladies with hot coffee and burning the lips of children with his torture device, the "HOT apple pie."
The UK is only moving under the authority of the UN and with an international Coalition of the Whining to include the USA and the Commonwealth of Licktenlips.
A draft copy of the legislation authorizing the Prince to take control of the government, the military and both houses of Parliament, the media, and establish the Monarchy once again is before the House Of Lords for debate but it is widely regarded that the "Patriot Menu" will pass without much debate as all those speaking for it are wearing their Lapel Union Jack Pins and Lapel War on McDonald's Burger Pins.
What critics there are charge that The Prince is fabricating this war to seize power and the although he has a plan for getting the Palace Guards into McDonlad's, the exits are not clearly marked. Brushing aside his critics, the Prince pointed fingers at Burger King and Taco Bell as providing trans-fats to McDonalds and indicated that he will deal with them next.
