The Merkrons
Reuters reports that Europe’s happiest couple, Emmanuel and Angela Merkron, have renewed their vows at a ceremony in Aachen.
For much of the previous century, the respective French and German branches of the family were locked in a bitter feud that occasionally erupted into outbreaks of extreme violence. The ceremony was aimed at reinforcing the reconciliation between them which has existed since their kiss and make up accord of 1963.
Speaking after the happy event, Mrs Merkron stated that the declaration ‘reinforces the cooperation between us. It will act as the first step towards the creation of a pan-European security organisation across the twenty odd sub-divisions of our multi-national business empire’.
It is fair to say however that joy across the continent has not been unconfined. Opponents argue that the Merkrons aim to create a European monopoly through the operations of their ‘ UnionEuropa’ mega company, thus establishing a choking stranglehold by which to dominate smaller competitors. Estranged family friend Marine Le Pen accused Mr Merkron of anti-competitive practices, claiming that he’d committed ‘an act that borders on treason’, and vowed never to speak to him again.
Small businessman and anti-corporate campaigner Nigel Farage also fumed ‘I didn’t get an invitation to the ceremony, but if I had, I’d have used it to wipe my arse after a shit this morning. The Merkrons want nothing less than to own the whole fucking continent, lock, stock and barrel. I wouldn’t be seen dead with the cunts’. Jacob Rees-Moggster, Managing Director Of GreatBrits Ltd, was just as scathing. ‘This is a marriage of convenience, little more than a sham’, The Moggster stated. ‘Mr Merkron is a puffed up peacock, and this gives him the opportunity to strut about and act like a player, but we all know who really wears the trousers in this relationship’.
The ceremony itself was marred by the appearance outside the town hall of a number of well-wishers clad in bright yellow jackets, who grew boisterous when refused admission to offer best wishes to the happy couple. Best man Jean-Claude Juncker was unavailable for photos of the ceremony, having last been seen in a comatose condition beneath the refreshments table.
