Dangerous individuals who insist on putting milk into a cup of tea BEFORE boiling water will be stripped of their English citizenship as punishment, according to new laws passed today.

Anyone now caught adding milk first thing into a cup of tea can now legally be stripped of their English citizenship as part of a new series of laws to prevent unEnglish behaviour.

While perpetrators won’t be deported from Britain, they will have their citizenship downgraded to Scottish or as low as Welsh if it’s a repeat offense.

‘There are some key advantages of being English: first of which is that your vote actually counts,’ said a key member of the committee in charge of the guidelines.

And the news has been greeted warmly by the vast majority of people across England.

‘If man puts milk in his tea first, it is an abomination. Anyone with half a brain knows that,’ said one proud Englishman.

To which a Scotsman retorted, ‘Anyone with half a brain is certainly fit to be English.’
