Conspiracy.

DAVID STARKEY IS TALKING TO A BBC JOURNALIST

BBC

David Starkey the 1976 conspiracy by fascist dictator General Franko, to cheat Cliff Richard out of a Eurovision win?

DAVID

Not the first time the UK was cheated. Paula Radcliffe was forced to shit on the side of the road in the 2004 Olympics, by a bowel loosening North Korean sonic cannon.

Fascinating, is there a sinister conspiracy why England is out of the European cup this summer. Maybe a Russian aerosol virus, that makes the team screw up penalties?

DAVID

Hmmm... no we just suck, really badly.

Apart from the fact you say "not the first" and refer to something more recent, I'd seen this and wondered if any mileage for Newsrevue.
