Front Page news on the Bloviating Bigots Corporation website. The "great" British public have chosen this year's storm names "Wubbo" 🙄😒 At least the "wits" didn't come up with Stormy McStormface Although at least Stormy is a name of sorts

Oh Jesus Christ! Unless that’s a nickname he should have been taken from his parents.

Okay it’s real. Apparently a Dutch variation on Wulfbald. It’s still mad though

Technically. No. Met Office, the UK's national meteorological service, in partnership with Ireland's meteorological service, Met Éireann 😱 and Dutch national weather forecasting service KNMI. 😱😱 The three make up the western storm naming group and have been naming storms since 2015. 🤪

Fair enough. The Bloviating Bigots Corporation appeared to claim otherwise. But the fact remains … WUBBO?

We are not allowed more than 21 storms, and they are not allowed to start with “Q” or “U” as these are reserved for imported typhoons, nor X, Y or Z as they are reserved for US air force bases.

Bloody selfish if you ask me! What happens if we have more than 21 storms? Does Nigel Farage stand at the shore and demand they turn around and return from where they came?
