Now boffins have discovered that criminal gangs from Eastern Europe can cause cancer as well as being, frankly, distasteful.

Docktawh Gillian Keith, speaking from her underground nutrition dome said, "Ever since Richard Littlejohn told me about it, I have been trying to cure looting and pillaging supermarkets with a powerful mix of micronutrients, goji berries and spirulina."

She added "As it turns out looting and pillaging supermarkets is almost completely identical to cancer, in how it affects the balance of our chakras. And everybody knows that looting and pillaging supermarkets is mostly caused by criminal gangs from Eastern Europe, 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 criminal gangs from Eastern Europe 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.".
