Andrew Tate’s new ‘political party’, BRUV, has ushered in April Fools’ Day nearly three months early – 21 resounding facepalms
We were under the impression that it was January. The Christmas decorations have just come down, the Easter chocolate is in the shops – yes, really – and half of the UK and Ireland is experiencing snow.
But it can’t be January, because this is clearly an April Fools trick.
Not to go all John McEnroe, but he cannot be serious. We’re half convinced the character of Andrew Tate is just a long-running bit and he’s about to drop the hottest spoof documentary of the decade.
There’s a lot in his charter. It’s almost as though he has nothing but time on his hands, as he remains under house arrest in Romania on a number of charges – which he strenuously denies – including assault and sex trafficking.
If you want to read the full thing for a laugh or to be appalled (or both), you can do that here, but in the meantime, here are a few choice snippets.
He’ll be unapologetic and relentless for Britain, it says here.
There’ll be a ‘let them drown’ policy, he doesn’t understand that illegal immigration isn’t all about boats, and he’s already calling himself the prime minister.
In an effort to make the BBC ‘more factual’, it will get its topics from X.
“Britain needs warriors-not worriers.”
Our irony meters exploded when we pointed them at the image of a teacher writing ‘entreprenulsoip’ on the board during a literacy lesson.
All this – and more – will be implemented within 45 days. Okay, bruv.
Naturally, the internet had thoughts on the matter.

Britain Restoring Underlying Values lmao. This shit would be too trite and hackneyed for Sacha Baron Cohen to use in an Ali G sketch. This dude has to be the biggest loser on the planet https://t.co/mpDztgWkjl

I guess he was having a nonce-a-thon, rather than coming up with a name for his political movement. https://t.co/dGD6VmsxRW pic.twitter.com/9eViKY96ld

There’s literally dozens of reasons why this won’t happen, not least of them being that you don’t ’run for Prime Minister’ in the UK. But don’t let that stop you posting it for clicks, you fucking idiots. pic.twitter.com/Nk9UH5xNzF

Okay, this is it, the very worst idea in the history of British politics. We have finally hit rock bottom, at long last. https://t.co/VltCWjMqPx

Tate has "written" a charter for his BRUV party. He wants more wrestling and more guns, The Royal Navy to patrol our shores, no modern art, no LGBTQ and patriotic signage on streets.
It's an interesting mix of North Korea & homoeroticism. pic.twitter.com/SbieHTSzN8
