Our asylum policy is Nigel Farage's testicles, says Labour, holding them up

THE government has confirmed its new policy on asylum is a little bit vicious, a little bit Denmark and a little bit Nigel Farage’s gonads taken right out of his red trousers. 

Under new rules asylum seekers will not be given permanent residence, appeals will be limited, housing and financial support restricted, and a sad little pair of wizened danglers will be removed from their prison and nailed firmly to Britain’s mast.

Home secretary Shabana Mahmood said: “I understand many of you will find the Y-front-aged nutsack of this bigoted man offensive. I do myself. I know what they’d call me.

“But as it’s either the knackers or the whole Farage, and as he’s leading in the polls with a plan to deport British citizens born here, we thought we’d better come up with an asylum policy rather than not but pretending to like all previous governments.

“It’s based on Denmark’s, which seemed an ideal compromise because it’s got a socialist veneer for our left-wing voters while being all-white for the righties. And compromises that please nobody are what this government’s all about.

“Nigel won’t miss his testicles. He’ll be more docile and roam less without them. All the rest of us have to do is pretend we like having them up there for all to see.”

Farage said: “The Conservative party thought they’d deftly removed my scrotum in 2016. For a while they had. But I grew another one.”

Nothing more embarrassing than fancying someone

THERE is no experience available to humanity more shameful than finding another person attractive, research has found. 

Although depicted in literature and music as a feeling that lifts the soul, actual sufferers of crushes report symptoms including anxiety, blushing, overheating and hyperawareness of their own face.

Tom Logan, who desperately fancies his colleague Grace Wood-Morris, said: “Oh God, it’s mortifying. Every evening is a catalogue of painful regrets. And this is meant to be good?

“When I’m scrolling her Instagram, listening to Dusty Springfield and imagining our life together it seems alright. None of that survives even fleeting contact with Grace. All I do is overthink and say idiot things and wish to sink painlessly into the earth forever.

“I’m 32 with a mortgage and moles. Do you know how humiliating it is to plan outfits? To change my email signature from ‘best wishes’ to ‘kind regards’ lest it betray my fluttering lovelorn heart? There should be a cut off of 18 for this sort of thing, like with acne.

“Today she offered me a cup of tea and I reacted like it was a marriage proposal. To be fair she was giving out blatant sexual signals such as wearing a nice jumper.”

Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute of Studies said: “A crush creates anxiety by raising levels of stress hormone cortisol. It’s the body’s fight-or-flight response. And the answer is ‘flight’.”
