I think you'll find...

..that there there is no agreement that the lightbulb needs changing at all, y'all are photo-fascists and light-tards for forcing this opinion down our throats and actually darkness is a natural cyclical state that happens every 600 years so we should stop worrying and get used it.

Q. How many Polacks does it take to change a light bulb?
A. Three—one to hold the light bulb and two to turn the ladder.

Although lightbulb jokes tend to be derogatory in tone, the people targeted by them may take pride in the stereotypes expressed and are often themselves the jokes' originators. Lightbulb jokes applied to subgroups can be used to ease tensions between them.

*your home is at risk etc...

How many Tory MPs?

It would appear that the Right Honourable Member was in the process of changing a light bulb when, tragically, he became entangled in the flex.
