Now boffins have discovered that unemployed layabouts demanding benefits with menace can cause cancer as well as being, frankly, distasteful.

Docktawh Gillian Keith, speaking from her underground nutrition dome said, "Ever since Bernard Manning told me about it, I have been trying to cure plotting the overthrow both of the British state and our way of life with a powerful mix of micronutrients, goji berries and spirulina."

She added "As it turns out plotting the overthrow both of the British state and our way of life is almost completely identical to cancer, in how it affects the balance of our chakras. And everybody knows that plotting the overthrow both of the British state and our way of life is mostly caused by unemployed layabouts demanding benefits with menace, who are known to promote a negative orgone balance in the red layer of the energy rainbow."

Of course liberal-minded multiculturalists will no doubt assume that comparing unemployed layabouts demanding benefits with menace to carcinogens is "racist", but they can’t deny the simple facts of the case. And the Mail is happy to back Gillian’s words; she gave us a fresh insight into Broken Britain by saying, "But many of the unemployeds had become static and didn’t know that if they got on a bus for an hour’s journey, they’d be in Cardiff and could look for the jobs there.".
