by Benelux News, posted in Europe

Police forces across Europe today started a Europe wide round up of Brexit Brits and sending them home.

Police forces in Amsterdam, Ibiza, Prague and many others began the raids at around 5am this morning in preparation for the UK’s official exit from the EU at midnight tonight.

Countries who had experienced particular troubles with “Brits Abroad” including football hooligans, stag nights and English yobs were particularly eager to get rid of the idiots who creep onto the continent due to lax laws on immigration into the Schengen zone.

Starting on 1st Feb 2020, there will be a visa system in place to keep the idiots out, with France even considering bricking up the entrance to the Channel Tunnel towards the end of the year.

“Certain measures will be in place to keep out the idiots”, said a Police spokesman. “We fully intend to keep out Barry and the lads from Clacton-On-Sea, as well as Kev and Darren and their 20 pints challenge.”

Crowds of local residents gathered in various cities to applaud the work of the Police.

 

Luxembourg to host world’s first drink driving championships

by Benelux News, posted in Daily Life

Luxembourg has been selected to host the world’s first drink driving championships as part of its national branding campaign.

Thousands of competitors have been waiting for years for the opportunity to compete in the event and finally their dreams are coming true.

Drink driving has been an unofficial sport in the grand duchy for years thanks to phenomenally high taxi prices and lack of long distance late night transport.

Regional heats will be organised between the city and Grevenmacher as well as Echternach and Diekirch.

Drivers are expected to tackle tight corners while overtaking cars at high speeds.

Extensive training regimes will be in place to assure drivers that because they own a new BMW, it means they are invincible on the roads.

Plastic gold star badges will be awarded to the winners as well as social recognition from their well connected local commune friends.

Losers will probably get a small fine.

Police stop international terrorist search to arrest teenager for small bag of weed

by Benelux News, posted in Daily Life

Luxembourg Police on Friday decided that they no longer can be bothered to seek out a possible international terrorist threat and instead pick on some local teenagers smoking a joint.

After some discussion between senior officers, it was decided that because nothing really terrorist related had happened, they would give some basic training to the Palace guards who could then “jump in to save the day if some shit went down”.

This in turn has freed up so much Police time, that teenagers seen to be smoking a joint are seen as as big a threat as a terrorist.

“Because of the use of cigarette lighters, we see this as a potentially explosive situation.” said a Police spokesman. “We cannot risk a joint attack.”

“We have trained the Palace guards to handle a terrorist attack so we can start bullying teenagers for their weed and lunch money.”

Luxembourg Police reveal 2017 Halloween party costumes 

by Benelux News, posted in Daily Life

Luxembourg Police announced earlier this morning their new design for their annual Halloween party. 

The chief of Police was said to be extremely happy with the new design and said that they may even decide to wear the costumes permanently in the future because he described them as “really comfy”. 

The design, based on a Peugeot lion that had gone crazy and prowled the streets of Luxembourg looking for callef (baby cow) victims, had apparently caused a big laugh in the offices and the Police cells alike, is sure to be a big success. 

Expect to see a fresh fashion parade walking the streets near you soon!
