More procrastination when I should have been finishing my sitcom pilot:
INT: OFFICE. - DAY
GORDON BROWN IS SITTING AT HIS DESK.
ALISTAIR DARLING BURSTS IN.
DARLING
I've got it Gordon. A way to win back the favour of the public AND increase the coffers at the treasury at the same time.
BROWN
Let's hear it then Darling.
DARLING
We introduce a new tax on immigrants.
BROWN
I can see that appealing to hardworking British voters. Well done Darling. I think you may have cracked it. This is the sort of policy that defines great government.
DARLING
I Knew you'd like it so….
HE PRODUCES A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE FROM BEHIND HIS BACK.
BROWN
You didn't put that through expenses did you?
DARLING OPENS THE CHAMPAGNE.
BROWN
What shall we drink to?
DARLING
The Pole Tax.
BROWN LOOKS SUDDENLY WORRIED.
