AN ANGRY IRANIAN MAN IS GIVING A RADIO BROADCAST FROM A HOTEL ROOM.

MAN
Hello and good evening London.
It will be your last!
This is the Iranian Broadcasting Corporations world service.
Our glorious leader President Almajilabad has decided to take revenge on your Brutish Bullying Corporations new Persian channels lies about our glorious country.
Those are not violent protests. They are street parties like your Notting Hill Carnival but with kalashnikovs.
So we are producing our own foreign TV channel from the wicked heart of London.
Now over to Rashida Suleiman our roving reporter on the streets of the capital of the little Satan.

WOMAN (OUTSIDE IN TRAFFIC)
We can see how the monsterous Gordon Brown is crushing democratic opposition to his brutish reign.

MAN
How is he doing this Rashida?

WOMAN
It would appear he is denying them access to petrol. As I have seen both David Cameron and Boris Johnson riding bicycles.

MAN
But is there resistance to his terrible, brutal rule?

WOMAN
I have heard that in London there is a massive underground, it's secret leaders including Metropolitan, Circle and the feirsome twins Hammersmith and City.

MAN
Hoorah!

SOUND OF KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

MAN
Oh no the agents of the great Satan are here I must flee!

HOTEL OWNER AT THE DOOR
Oi you in there you're not an MP who's going to pay for all those kit kat chunkies you've been having out of the minibar!

The idea has potential but the execution is a bit scattergun.

MAN
Hoorah! Soon the British people will be as free as the Iranian people which is as completely and utterly free as the Ayatollah tells us we are.

HOTEL OWNER AT THE DOOR
Oi you in there I found out you're not an MP. Who's going to pay for all those over priced kit kat chunkies you've been having out of the minibar!

Thanks is that one clearer?

I quite enjoyed reading that. Its good but could be improved, ifthat's any help to you. There is room for expansion. You have managed to 'clear it up' from the first posted one. Its good.

Definitely a good idea Sooty, but not executed to your normal standard. The MP thing feels tacked on to me, too. In the wake of the tube strike there might be room for something about the underground bringing the country to a halt?

Damn! Good point.
