Tommy Sheridan deported: Immigration authorities thought him too tanned to be Scottish.
Echoing the Home Secretary's stated aim to get tough with bogus asylum seekers, the Immigration Authorities raided Tommy Sheridan's flat at dawn today and bundled the bewildered MSP on to a flight at Glasgow airport.

Confirming only that the MSP had been sent "somewhere foreign" a spokesman for the immigration authorities explained that the expulsion brought to a close a long investigation of Sheridan's ethnicity.

"We've suspected for a long time that Mr Sheridan might be from somewhere, you know, abroad. You've only got to look at him," the spokesman went on,

"He's not peely wally enough to be Scottish, it was clear to us that he was in fact a bogus asylum seeker or something."

When it was pointed out by a reporter that the MSP was a well known sunbed user the spokesman looked perplexed and asked, "Whit?"

It is not yet clear if this new policy of deporting people for "looking funny" will be extended to other politicians, although when pressed the spokesman did concede that Robin Cook was a dead ringer for one of those Klingons off Star Trek.
