I love the Southend news network!

3littlebadgers · 22/04/2017 00:37

No! Surely that can't be real!

SoloDance · 22/04/2017 00:37

Is it a spoof?

DownWithThisSortaThing · 22/04/2017 00:38

This is a joke surely? No one is this crazy Confused

newdaddie · 22/04/2017 00:39

YANBU it's hilarious. I suspect that the cowboy's Grin mum did know and was being a bit cheeky but it's far from a hate crime lol they need to get a grip

'My lawyer has already told me that it could constitute a hate crime.’

I don't care if it's real or not.

It's brightened my night Grin Grin

VoodooPeople · 22/04/2017 00:55

Yes it's a spoof website but can be very funny Smile

AnathemaPulsifer · 22/04/2017 00:55

Southend news network = spoof Grin

chastenedButStillSmiling · 22/04/2017 00:59

It must be a spoof.

Disturbingly, there was an advert for a trainer that there was a thread about earlier this week in AIBU... a poster was torn between two types of (vile) trainers and there was an ad for one of them on this page.

chitofftheshovel · 22/04/2017 01:00

That's brilliant, and actually very clever.

Jux · 22/04/2017 01:05

That cheered me up nicely. Thanks GrinGrin

ThreeLeggedHaggis · 22/04/2017 01:05

It's one of my favourite spoof sites. Nearly all of their articles hit the mark Grin

Ceto · 22/04/2017 01:21

I love the way they take the piss out of the tabloid practice of putting RANDOM WORDS in capitals.

Chloe84 · 22/04/2017 01:37

I think 'she text me' gives it away!

MangosAndPapayas · 22/04/2017 02:03

Er... yes... it's a spoof site.

Kind of a couple of clues here in the side bar:

southendnewsnetwork.com/news/lego-launches-united-airlines-playset/

southendnewsnetwork.com/actualnews/english-defence-league-falls/

plus the name Soy- [blah]

Still funny though.

Dixiestamp · 22/04/2017 03:13

I'm pretty sure that some people who share their articles don't realise that it's a spoof site, though, which is quite amusing in itself!

NinjaLeprechaun · 22/04/2017 03:41

The best little gem in this story is that the baby is called Tanya Hyde. Grin

WildKiwi · 22/04/2017 03:59

Fantastic. The Lego story has just made my day (DS is teething, so I needed a good laugh Grin)

Andrewofgg · 22/04/2017 07:53

Thank you OP - this site is a gem!

RestlessTraveller · 22/04/2017 07:59

you wouldn't take a child to a Muslim party dressed as a side of gammon

Fantastic. I laughed so much a little bit of wee came out.

DoctorDonnaNoble · 22/04/2017 08:01

The EDL actually fell for the police raid on job stealing immigrants one!
Love Southend News Network

BikeRunSki · 22/04/2017 08:02

Spoof surely!! The onesie mum is called Mrs Hyde and the vegan mum is called Mrs Soy!! That's got to be a spoof.
