NJ: Boat Race Protester

JUSTIN:
If a person's endangered their own life - common sense tells us that the most appropriate punishment is to lock them up with a bunch of murderers.

Which is precisely what's happened to Trenton Oldfield - the anti-elitism campaigner who disrupted this year's Boat Race.

Let's take a peek at how he's getting on inside.

NARRATOR:
The prison diary of Trenton Oldfield. Monday...

TRENTON:
Witnessed my cellmate being groomed by the capitalist machine! He was playing Monopoly.

Decided to do what any self-respecting equalitarian would do - and swallowed the dice.

Got myself a black eye. And an achy stomach.

NARRATOR:
Tuesday...

TRENTON:
The grooming's getting worse. Today I caught him reading a copy of Duncan Bannatyne's autobiography!

Decided to do what any self-respecting equalitarian would do - and read Das Kapital aloud in a falsetto voice.

Got myself another black eye. And a sore throat.

NARRATOR:
Wednesday...

TRENTON:
The grooming's beginning to spiral out of control. This evening I caught him watching new episodes of Made in Chelsea!

Decided to do what any self-respecting equalitarian would do - and severed the television wires with my teeth.

Got myself a broken nose. And a mild electric shock.

NARRATOR:
Friday...

TRENTON:
Found out that my cellmate's father's a hedge fund manager - and thus his chief groomer.

Decided to do what any self-respecting equalitarian would do - and gate-crashed his dad's monthly visit.

Got myself a couple of broken ribs. And a stint in solitary.

A tight and funny piece, just drop the intro, it is strong enough to stand alone.
