Night of the living mink
Zombie-mink are rising from the dead in Denmark and threatening to spread a new and mysterious mutant coronavirus. Some months ago, the Danish government discovered that a new strain of COVID-19 was running rampant in the country’s mink population, whose silky pelts make up the bulk of Europe’s fur trade. The Danish response? Minkocide. Some 17 million mink were culled and [...]

As it turns out, the British government appears to still be living in 1998, working on thicc laptops and phones with buttons on them [...]

Borat’s lost all the magic

About
onthefence is an independent satirical news platform for the 21st century. Through satire and critical articles, we give a commentary that is both left and right. Right where necessary, left where necessary – depending on what side is underrepresented in society and politics. We will never adapt our commentary to become a solely left or right wing outlet. Hence our motto; “satirical news not for the meek, from the fence we speak”. We welcome comments on all of our articles, however outrageous they may be. Where possible we will engage in debate with those who think differently. If you want to write for us, please contact: contributions@onthefence.news and join us onthefence.
