Lord Mesmo’s EU installation has members in an air’Fix’.


An art piece commissioned by Lord Mesmo to celebrate European unity and the Czech Presidency of the EU was unveiled today at the European headquarters of the AMC.

The art installation, resembling a giant model kit and by controversial artist Alf Mockney (of Shoreditch & Belgravia) caused heated debate as it depicted the members of the EU getting on with each other in a harmonious way and working toward the common good of all people.

Following complaints from the foreign ministers of all the major EU members, the piece was temporarily removed and Lord Mesmo’s office apologised immediately for what was such an obvious & terrible mistake.

A spokesperson said later “Mr Mockney was entrusted with a sacred commission and betrayed that trust by replacing his original sketches and concepts of flagrant distrust and petty back-biting with this disgusting piece of saccharine clap-trap”, he further added however that in this approach alone he had shown himself worthy of a seat at the EU.

The British minister was unavailable for comment, as he has no idea where the EU building is.
