Duncan gets the chop!

Alan Duncan and David Cameron are having a meeting.

Duncan holds out a wooden bowl in an Oliver Twist style.

Alan : Please DC, I want some more!

David : Shut up Alan. You're getting no more, in fact you're getting nothing man! You're sacked.

Alan: Oh thank you David, thank you! I'm so very grateful.

David : Didn't you hear me? You're getting the sack!

Alan: Yes I heard you. You've made me the happiest gay tory in the world!

David: I don't understand why you're happy?

Alan: A sack! What with living on rations and all that, I never been able to have bedding before. And now you're giving me a sack.

David : I'M NOT GIVING YOU A SACK! You're losing your job!

Alan: Oh no David. Please no! How I'm meant to live?

David: Quite comfortably I would imagine.

Alan: Comfortably? I'm down to my last three homes and I've to share the ride on mower between two of those!

David: You should wake up and see how people in the real world live.
Alan: People like who?

David: Well....um...people like me Alan!

Alan: Ah yes people like you. Eton Educated, Multi Millionaire, direct descendant of William IV and husband of the daughter of the Barronet of Sheffield!

David: Isn't everyone?

Alan: Well, if you're insistent on this David – I'll have to accept it.

David: Good. We don't want to rock the boat do we?

Alan: No, absolutely not. Which way is the workhouse?

Ends.

I take it this was a pile of poo then!

*reads*

As much as I like a good bit of Tory bashing, I don't think this works.

Yeah a bit awkward at times Mr Big. BUt saying that I like the idea, maybe re-work it...

Yep - workhouse is good setting but it didn't seem to make enough of it for me

Cheers guys - a make over needed!

There was nothing wrong with this per se, it's just it felt a bit bland and like retreading old steps without offering a new perspective.

I think you're onto something with the Dickens theme. The image of Duncan with the bowl and sleeping on sacking is strong and funny.
