THE victorious British Lions with ten Welsh players is being hailed as proof that Wales is running the UK.

Welsh domination extends beyond sport  sales of albums by Charlotte Church, Tom Jones and The Stereophonics represent 90% of all UK exports.

The success of Welsh comedians like Rhod Gilbert means that three out of four times a British person laughs, it is at something a Welshman said.

Additionally leek soup, stew and cheese on toast have been hailed by scientists as the three most nutritious meals.

Welshman Roy Hobbs said: It’s not that we Welsh are anti-English  my friends and I all own holiday cottages there.

“We even have our children learn English  it’s nice they keep alive their quaint language with its curious excess of vowels, for heritage’s sake.

The weather’s rubbish in England and the people are surly, grey-faced, spacewasters but we like it when they dress up in traditional costumes and clack sticks together to entertain us.

Englishman Nathan Muir said: We’re fed up of being patronised by the Welsh  stereotyped as a bunch of Morris Dancing bulldogshaggers.

“And what about Andy Murray?”

However Hobbs said: “At the end of the day Murray is British, and for me, that makes him an honorary Welshman.
