Black hole

GORDON IS TALKING TO ALISTAIR

GORDON
Alistair you nincompoop how are we going to fill in this 45 billion pound hole in the budget? It's bigger than the hole Jaqui Smith's husband won't f**k.

ALISTAIR
Oh I've got loads of exiting New Labour ideas. We're going to claim air miles for all our citizens we had illegally extradited on black flights to Guantanomo, we're going to charge Iraq for all the bombs we dropped on it and we're going to halve the size of our new Titan prisons.

GORDON
You idiot Alistair how are we going to lock up all those terrorists who mix up their recycling?

ALISTAIR
It shouldn't be a problem on one condition.

GORDON
They're all Muslims?

ALISTAIR
Don't be silly Gordon. As long as they're all dwarves and hunchbacks. We're making the prisons half the hight.

Not sure I get the end. Though did give an idea of a sketch about a parallel world where criminals are caged / free-range like chickens. Cue lots of bad-egg puns.

Sorry I meant making the prisons smaller by halving their hight I will edit and with the victoria cross thing.

Didn't like this one.

Ooh my topicals seem to be stinking today.
