Tory leader and wife

In a bid to make it easier for them to enter the UK, leader of the opposition Trevor Howard has suggested that all immigrants should learn Welsh before being allowed into the country.

Mr Howard made his suggestion at an election meeting in Birmingham, which is a stone's throw from Wales, where Welsh is regularly spoken by a huge 1% of the population.

Several Labour MPs are angry at Mr Howard, saying he stole the idea from them. Anne Gree, MP for Chilly on the Mound said: "We had an idea like this several months ago. We didn't announce it as we wanted to make sure it was feasible. The only difference between our idea and Mr Howard's is that we chose Scottish Gaelic as the language immigrants should learn."

One immigrant said he thought it would be tough to learn Welsh. Written Welsh looks suspiciously like letters randomly banged out by a maniac at a keyboard. This is partly due to the frequent use of double consonants in words such as ddefnyddiol (Ed: meaning useful), but mainly due to the fact that Welsh words look like they sound.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
