WESTMINSTER — Britain's political class has descended into a full-blown 'orientation emergency' after a BBC report revealed record numbers of asylum seekers allegedly posing as gay to secure residency. The story, instantly dubbed 'clickbait crack cocaine' by commentators, has sent every party scrambling to outdo the others with ever more deranged solutions.
Labour: The Double-Pivot
Labour initially promised a 'Mandatory Gay Test' by Monday morning. After internal consultation they added a 'Baseline Straight Test' for fairness, before settling on a 'National Conversation About Whether Testing Is Even Appropriate.' The policy has now been paused pending a full environmental impact assessment of the rainbow ink required for the forms.
The Conservatives: The 'Camaraderie' Clause
The Conservatives defended their 'Traditional Values Audit,' insisting the tests would be 'physically rigorous' but would include a 'Boarding School Exemption.'
'One must distinguish between orientation and heritage,' a spokesperson explained from a wood-panelled library. 'A bit of high-spirited fun with one's roommates at Eton or Harrow does not a sailor make. It is simply a form of 'Advanced Camaraderie' entirely compatible with a heterosexual voting record. We are looking for irregular migrants, not recreational alumni.
The Liberal Democrats: The Orange Fleece Approach
The Liberal Democrats dismissed the audits as redundant. A spokesperson in a bright orange fleece and clutching a reusable coffee cup declared that formal testing was a waste of taxpayers' money because 'everyone is a bit gay really, aren't they?' They are instead proposing a National Hug Registry and a mandatory 10% discount on quiche for anyone willing to sign a 'Vibe Agreement.'
Reform UK: The 'Gayland' Protocol
Reform UK took the most radical stance, announcing an immediate 'repatriation' system for anyone failing their audit.
'We plan to send them all back to Gayland,' said a candidate standing in front of a Union Jack. When asked to locate Gayland on an official map, he pointed first at Brighton, then at a small island in the South Pacific, before declaring the map itself 'woke' and biased toward the Mercator projection.
The Green Party: Net-Zero Orientation
The Green Party demanded that any testing be 'environmentally sustainable.' They will only accept 'solar-powered gay people' and are calling for a mandatory 'Transition to Wind' for anyone whose identity requires high-intensity carbon emissions or non-renewable lifestyles.
The international community has watched the developments with increasing bewilderment. Asked for comment, US Vice President JD Vance offered a succinct geopolitical assessment before exiting the stage: 'The United Kingdom has officially become the first entirely gay country with nuclear weapons.'
