I'm Sorry!

Jackie Smith is addressing The House of Commons.

Jackie : And I completely and utterly accept I was wrong to manipulate the system and personally gain from house flipping, bath plugs and filthy porn films. I would like to apologise!

Nick Clegg stands:

Nick: NO, I Apologise!

David Cameron stands

David : I'm the one who's apologising.

Followed by Brown

Brown: I apologise.

Milliband stands.

Milliband : I apologise.

Hauge : I apologise.

Rapidly the majority of the house rises.

MP's : I apologise!

Jackie Smith looks round and looks with pride at the support shown by the rest of the thieves, sorry MP's.

Alan Duncan MP stands.

Alan : Well I don't! I'm still on f**king rations!

Jackie: I'm sorry to hear that Alan. I'm having a dinner party tomorrow – why don't you come?

Alan: Excellent. Shall I bring a bottle?

Jackie: No. Don't bother. It's all going on expenses!

Loud hear, hears from the Commons.

I liked the idea, very Spartacus.
And the pay off seems to be the right one.
I feel that it's missing something though.

Laughed at 'filthy porn films' and 'all going on expenses' but didn't get the Alan Duncan ref but then I'm not very politically minded/aware so it's probably just me.

Cheers for the comments.

I also feel it missing something. But what?

I don't think it's missing anything! I like it.

The spartacus idea is a good one and the punchline is also good.

But they feel like they're from 2 diferent sketches. I think if the first one finished with some sort of revelation that no matter how sorry they are they won't pay.
