To commemorate post 6000 here's some 'satire' I send to Brokeback Britain but have no idea if it's being used.

MEETING OF LION DISSENTERS BACKGROUND MUMBLE OF CROWD WAITING
LEADER:
Comrades! Welcome to this meeting. Now, call me an old-fashioned lion - roar and all that - but, since our pride voted for coalition leadership, we have lost our identity!
CROWD:
Yeah! Roar!
LEADER:
A lion *and* a tiger in charge?! Who'd have thought?
CROWD:
Boo!
LEADER:
I often get grief for my views - even been accused of *racism*, no less - but I think a pride of lions should be just that!
CROWD:
Yay!
LEADER:
And have pride in their... erm, pride!
CROWD:
Yay!
LEADER:
There is no place for tigers in a pride of lions!
CROWD:
No!
LEADER:
Nor wildebeest. Nor zebras. (PAUSE) *Especially* zebras, in fact! Now, we have the farcical situation where lions and zebras are hunting down zebras and lions, after the eviction of Leo!
CROWD:
Boo!
LEADER:
And who'd have thought a liberally democratic approach would be farcical? (PAUSE)
CROWD MEMBER:
Actually, I did say-
LEADER:
What is the role of 'Deputy Alpha Male' anyway? Does he think he's in charge too?
CROWD:
Boo!
LEADER:
He's broken all his promises already!
CROWD:
Booooo! Hiss!
LEADER:
Voting reform? Soon, our pride will be full of baboons, leopards and parrots! There won't be any lions left!
CROWD:
Boo!
LEADER:
And cubs expecting to learn to hunt for free? Now they'll owe so much meat, they'll be hunting for years before they catch enough to feed themselves!
CROWD:
Boo! Out! Out! Out!
LEADER:
And not just cubs! Foals! And... (TO AIDES) what do you call a young wildebeest?
CROWD SHOW DISTASTE AND START TO DISPERSE
CROWD MEMBER:
Well, there's no need for that!
LEADER:
Wait! Where are you all going?!
CROWD MEMBER:
Racist!
