Unholy Alliance - A Play In Two Acts



Look how nice we are now
Act I: White City; BBC HQ

(The national anthem plays)
Big cheese 1: Well, let's face it. Numbers are down.
Big cheese 2: Yup. We need to do something drastic.
BC1: The usual formula?
BC2: Back to 'Men Behaving Badly'? 'On The Buses'? That sort of thing?
BC1: Tempting, but no good - wouldn't fit with our new PC image.
BC2: OK - here's radical for you. How about Nick Griffin on Question Time?
BC1: What! Are you mad? He can hardly string two words together!
BC2: No problem - he'll be up against windbags from the main parties; he'll never get a word in edgeways. He'll just sit there and shake his head.
BC1: Good, because if he opens his mouth we could be in trouble.
BC2: Stop worrying. There's no such thing as bad publicity.

Act II: White Town; BNP HQ

  1. Wrapping yourself in the flag does no good - it's still apparent there is something nasty underneath...

  2. How come this post only got one comment? I thought it was really edgy, pithy, etc. Perhaps it was just long. I've had to add this comment myself because I hate the way Blogger reports '1 comments'. Sloppy.

    I bet the BBC website doesn't have these problems.
