A man who wiped his backside using squares cut from the Daily Mail claims he's become a ranting xenophobe as a result.


Dave Phelps from Warwick said it started when a well-intentioned dinner party joke backfired next morning after he wiped his arse with the newspaper, having forgotten to switch it back to his Waitrose triple-ply super soft.


'But by then it was too late. I’d gone and wiped me bum with the Mail and within minutes I was slagging off my longtime best friend and next door neighbour, Ahmed. I told my missus he came in illegally on one of them rubber boats, despite him having been my golf buddy for almost ten years.'


Toxicologist, Professor Craig Lennox commented. ‘I understand the squares were particularly toxic. Packed as they were with totally unfounded lies, racial slurs and unbridled hatred. I’m no expert in this particular area but perhaps as his wife, Moira, suggests, if mister Phelps begins wiping his behind with The Express it may start to reverse the condition.’

The return of Harry and Meghan to the UK is not news, but that hasn't stopped it being treated like news. But it is not news. 


Pearl clutching Daily Mail readers across the UK – especially in the Home Counties – have been furious about this non-news. However, many are also secretly relieved, with some even quietly fist pumping and Nazi saluting in celebration.


'It's just not the same when she's in America,' trilled one openly racist woman. 'When Meghan is here in the UK, I can hate her with the heat of a thousand suns, based purely on the colour of her skin. What fun! I'm not a racist – well, not a common racist, like that ghastly Nigel Farage. The newspapers are on my side.'


'I did buy some Harry and Meghan crockery, but only so I could smash it like a Greek wedding. Hooray! I mean... Booo!'

The Daily Mail has now published no fewer than seven articles decrying the inhuman assault on British drivers of a certain age.


'You will be forced to retake your driving test every three years and, due to the shortage of examiners, you will be advised to provisionally book each test at least four years ahead,' ran one social media explanation of the Daily Mail's articles.


'You will need to pass a medical previously limited to active HGV drivers, be able to demonstrate an ability to reverse an articulated trailer around a corner and know how to shout obscenities in French,' said another post, which was considered to be slightly incorrect.  'French or German, surely?' asked one knowledgeable reply.


'If you fail more than once in a two month period your vehicle will be impounded and handed over to an immigrant, who doesn't need a licence, insurance or a flat cap to drive on British roads,' argued another.  The flat cap rule has been doubted online by people under thirty.


A study looking into the actual articles identified that all of the above claims were reasonable extrapolations of the headlines and first two sentences of the articles, but confirmed that the actual change required when applying to renew the driving licence at age seventy and every three after is evidence that the driver has had an optician evaluate their corrected eyesight.


'How are pensioners expected to pay for the free eyesight tests?' screamed a Daily Mail article.  'And how can they pass the test when they clearly can't read past the first paragraph?  We demand a General Election now!' it said - in paragraph three, so unseen by by most readers.
