Seeking things to ban, Priti Patel has outlawed the Yorkshire people from London.

“You can’t have these people coming down from the North, invading our cities and mixing with posh people. It’s not right. Think of the damage it will do to our children! Have you heard how these people speak? It’s like they don’t have teeth. I caught my niece saying ‘get ‘t foot o our stairs’ it’s out of control.”

The Yorkie Gang are responsible for the illegal supply of tripe, lard and pudding into the city. Our young people are gorging themselves to an early death on high-fat foods, washed down with a strong cup of Yorkshire Tea*. We have a duty to protect the public from this heartless trade.

Police have erected a cordon around North London, and reinforced the Watford Gap Checkpoint. Any cars from t’North carrying, whippets, flat caps and pictures of Geoffrey Boycott are stopped and sent back up the A1.

A public information film warns Londoners to watch out for Yorkies. If a member of the public spots a Yorkie, they should not approach them, but report the sighting to their local police station. It is easy to identify a Yorkshirian, they are characterised by their pasty white skin, glum expressions and a ginger tinge.

One prominent Northerner, Brian Napton, said “It’s God’s own country, we are the chosen people. Quite frankly no self-respecting Yorkshireman would go t’that festering cesspit in’t South, unless it was for t’ cricket”

Meanwhile, the government continues.
