Autistic people who generally dislike hugging strangers have announced that they will make an exception today for a massive group hug because we all bloody need it.
The Hug, which is open to anyone who isn’t a fascist-supporting cunt, won’t fix the bin fire that is everything, but it will reportedly be “quite nice.”
Autistic spokesperson, Paige Thomas, 37, said: “Bring it in, folks. We’ve got you.”
In addition to The Hug, Thomas announced that a massive kettle will be boiled to make millions of cups of tea, which most of the autistics will politely pretend to drink because tea is disgusting – but apparently that’s just what you drink at times like this.
Thomas added: “Don’t worry, we have biscuits. All the biscuits.”
