Jeremy Corbyn’s guide to a progressive socialist Christmas

From The Daily Mash 


'WITH shopping to do and parties to go to, it's easy to forget the true meaning of Christmas – international socialism. Here's how to have a left-wing festive season.

Avoid militarist films

Reject capitalist war profiteering by not watching militarist propaganda like The Great Escape. I will also be avoiding superhero films due to their sickening elitism.


Have a marrow-based dinner

I love having people over for a sumptuous Christmas dinner, so I'll be making my famous boiled marrow. Make sure your guests definitely get the invitation or there's a danger no one will turn up, like last year.


Buy left-wing presents

Everyone loves socialist Christmas presents. This year I'm getting my wife a fascinating book I discovered called From Nye Bevan to Neoliberalism: Changing Economic Challenges Facing the Modern Welfare State. At 804 pages it'll last a lot longer than a bottle of Chanel No. 5!

... 

Don't forget the young socialists!

This year all my young relatives will be getting action figures from a wonderful non-profit socialist toy shop I found in Islington. I can't wait to see them having adventures with Bearded 1980s CND Man and Earnest Middle Class Activist Woman.

Leave something out for Santa

On Christmas Eve I leave out 10 carrots and 10 mince pies to encourage Santa to share profits equally among his reindeer workforce.'
