Cleggmania at the Palace

Inspired by Bigfella here's my quick take on today's developments.

PRINCE CHARLES IS PACING AROUND ANXIOUSLY. NICK CLEGG ENTERS.

CHARLES
Ah! Mr Clegg! So glad you could make it.

CLEGG
Your highness, I rushed from Tory central office - er, I mean Lib Dem HQ right away.

CHARLES
I expect you know what this is all about.

CLEGG DOESN'T KNOW

CHARLES
Isn't it obvious? (*EMPHASISES*) One agrees with Nick!

CLEGG
I'm sorry your highness?

CHARLES
Everyone is saying you're the man to help me.

CLEGG STILL DOESN'T KNOW. CAMILLA WALKS IN WITH A FEATHER DUSTER

CHARLES
You're the kingmaker! Well, aren't you?

CLEGG
Yes, but...

CAMILLA
Oh Charles! This little chap isn't going to help you at all!

CHARLES
Why's that my little tampon?

CAMILLA
He wants an amnesty for dodgy foreigners who haven't done a proper day's work for this country.

CHARLES
You mean...?

CAMILLA
Yes - Prince Philip would have the right to stay.

END

Very nice Mr Badge.

Not bad at all. Could be a bit harder. Checked the tampax ref.

I thought it was a nice premise and I really liked the line: "...an amnesty for dodgy foreigners who haven't done a proper day's work for this country."

But maybe Charles should be urging Clegg to enforce legislation to make retirement compulsory for anyone over a certain age - so pensioning off his mum and making him the monarch? I think it might make more sense with references to him being a King-maker.

I agree with Kasm.

So do I. I think I have two slices of bread - the premise and the exit - but there is not enough meat in the sandwich.
