Newsjack Reject

:P I know it is not Newsjack stuff and not what they are looking for but sometimes I just start with an Idea and get carried away.

MILES
As David "I did it both ways" Cameron tried to once again launch the sinking ship known as the big society he was bound to feel that the support for the coalition was beginning to fade and wonder just what he could do about it

DAVID CAMERON
Nick I have just re launched the Big Society but I don't think anyone really cares

NICK CLEGG
Dave I just don't think we are as popular as we once were

DAVID CAMERON
I know Nick but what can we do?

NICK CLEGG
I have been thinking about it, and well?

DAVID CAMERON
What?

NICK CLEGG
We need to engage with the public once more

DAVID CAMERON
How do we do that?

NICK CLEGG
Humour. I think we need to be funnier

DAVID CAMERON
Funnier?

NICK CLEGG
Yeah

DAVID CAMERON
How?

NICK CLEGG
Well we need to look at who is popular and see what they do

DAVID CAMERON
Like who?

NICK CLEGG
I don't know

DAVID CAMERON
What about Pingu? He's popular, my kids love him

NICK CLEGG
We are not selling Ice Cream

FX: A siren in the background followed by a comedy ping

NICK CLEGG
That's it!

DAVID CAMERON
What is?

NICK CLEGG
Morecambe and Wise

DAVID CAMERON
Morecambe and Wise?

NICK CLEGG
Here's the idea

DAVID CAMERON
What?

NICK CLEGG
Look. Every time you see a speeding police car or ambulance or whatever at a press conference or something, turn to me and say "I bet he won't sell a lot of ice cream going at that speed"

DAVID CAMERON
Wahey! and should I mention your short fat hairy legs?

NICK CLEGG
That's a great idea

DAVID CAMERON
Thanks. If you say something funny I should slap your shoulders
and cheeks like this (FX: 2x SLAP)

NICK CLEGG
Owch! That hurt

DAVID CAMERON
Wahey

NICK CLEGG
Yes yes that's it

DAVID CAMERON
And your wallet

NICK CLEGG
What about my wallet

DAVID CAMERON
It has more moths in it than the NHS wards I am going to shut
down

NICK CLEGG
That's good

DAVID CAMERON
I know short fat hairy legs (FX: 2x slap) and there is always your wig

NICK CLEGG
My Wig?

DAVID CAMERON
You can't see the join. Look at that! No join ha ha

NICK CLEGG
We might get Glenda Jackson to join us

DAVID CAMERON
There's no answer to that! Ready when you are Pally

NICK CLEGG
Oh that's good. Wait a minute though, what do we do if it all starts to get too much?

DAVID CAMERON
Well we could end it all by listening to Des O'conner sing

NICK CLEGG
That would be taking it too far. There's always the song

DAVID CAMERON
Oh yes, what a clever little short fat hairy legged fellow you are Clegg (FX: 2x Slap)

NICK CLEGG
Owch. Thanks

BOTH BEGIN TO SING
Bring me Sunshine in your smile Bring me laughter all the while

NICK CLEGG
What do you think to the coalition so far

DAVID CAMERON
Rubbish

Geek

But last week for some reason was all Cameron and Clegg at home, I must be geting a fixation

MILES
Prime Minister and all round big boss man David "the U turn" Cameron and his Deputy Sheriff Nick "I meant it at the time" Clegg have both launched their separate campaigns for and against the proposed Alternative Vote electoral system. This is the first time the Prince William and Kate Middleton of politics have disagreed so openly in public and we here at Newsjack are "Bovverred". Will it be like Peter Andre and Jordan all over again? Will Nick end up with his own reality show on UK Living? We decided that we needed to get to the truth of the matter and placed a microphone on our highly secret News of the World equipped eavesdropping newsjack infiltrator in the heart of Downing Street. This is what we heard.

FX: Meow Purr Purr Purr

DAVID CAMERON
Nick! It's that bloody cat again

NICK CLEGG
Dave, his name is Larry

DAVID CAMERON
I said I didn't want a cat

NICK CLEGG
Well there are lots of things I have said I didn't want

DAVID CAMERON
You are not about those bloody university fees again are you?

NICK CLEGG
What if I am?

DAVID CAMERON
I do one thing, just one teeny little thing you don't like, and it's never ending nagging. You seem to forget everything else I have U turned on, for you Nick

NICK CLEGG
What do you mean one thing? You promised me you wouldn't do it, and then you went and did it. Mother was right, you cannot be trusted, you're a pig

DAVID CAMERON
I am not a Pig and I can be trusted. There's the big society, I have kept my promise about that

NICK CLEGG
You have had to launch it twice already and the only reason you have not changed your mind about it is because even you don't know what it is

DAVID CAMERON
That's not true

NICK CLEGG
Tis

DAVID CAMERON
Tis not

NICK CLEGG
Tis too. What about the Forests?

DAVID CAMERON
I didn't change my mind, I promised Uncle Siegfried he could buy them cheap and he will, eventually, I just have to include it in the big society so that the public don't notice this time

NICK CLEGG
So you didn't change your mind about the free books for children?

DAVID CAMERON
No I didn't change my mind on that either, It is a waste of money teaching poor people to read, It only encourages them. Look at Egypt and Libya

NICK CLEGG
And don't forget trying to get rid of the school sports partnerships

DAVID CAMERON
How could I with you around?

NICK CLEGG
Anyway we needed a cat

DAVID CAMERON
Oh don't pout. I'm sorry you are right

NICK CLEGG
You have upset me again

DAVID CAMERON
I said sorry. It is not just the cat, this alternative voting system, Why can't we just agree it is a waste of time?

NICK CLEGG
It is not a waste of time Dave and I want it and if I don't get alternative voting, I might do something silly

DAVID CAMERON
Ok Nick, not the I'm going to Labour threat again

NICK CLEGG
Threat, threat, I think someone needs to have a long hard look at their coalition partnership

DAVID CAMERON
We are partners in this Nick and we are having to make difficult decisions I suppose. Would you settle for a referendum? Let the people decide, I can't take it all in right now it might be the best way.

NICK CLEGG
You mean it Dave, my own referendum?

DAVID CAMERON
I do, you ought to see these Budget cuts I am having to make in the NHS, it is not easy

NICK CLEGG
No one ever said it would be, my own referendum.

DAVID CAMERON
So can we get back to our jobs now? Partner

NICK CLEGG
Oh yes. Thank you Dave

NICK CLEGG(humming)

I know it was a long trawl thanks for getting to this point. Cool

Quite aside from it each sketch being *waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay* too long and the fact that you've posted them all in the same thread (do separate ones for each), you've missed a fundamental point of Newsjack: there is only one male impressionist. Lewis cannot talk to himself in sketches.

Dan

I know Dan as I said I get carried away, it is not done purposely I assure you. The stuff I send in is, beleive it or not edited down. I didn't know Lewis was the impressionist and had not really thought about who would voice the conversations to be honest. As stated I get an Idea and run with it.

I put them all in one thread as to not fill the forum index with my stuff, unlike the newsjack inbox. I figure if anyone likes the first they might move to the second and so on, if nothing else (like always) I hope to raise a smile at least.

This weeks stuff is shorter, there is more for Miles, I have included females for the first time and (drum roll) I hope there is even a joke or two included (though there are few guarentees)

Thanks for looking and replying

Dave :)
