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 Amanda Platell told me about it, I have been trying to cure plotting to kidnap a senior royal with a powerful mix of micronutrients, goji berries and spirulina."

She added "As it turns out plotting to kidnap a senior royal is almost completely identical to cancer, in how it affects the balance of our chakras. And everybody knows that plotting to kidnap a senior royal 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, "Things got out of hand and we’d had a few drinks. We smashed the place up and Boris set fire to the toilets.".
