Bloody Immigrants 21 2 2008
Gordon Brown is talking to the Queen

Gordon
Your majesty, your government plans to charge immigrants more, if they will cost more to support, and won’t work.

Queen
Good job, Brown nose, filthy chiselling little blighters, I was in Brixton and somebody actually looked at me, looked at me, Black as the ace of spades he was.

Gordon
Ah yes that was Trevor Philips, and for you mam.

Gordon hands her a huge piece of paper.

Queen
A bill for 760 million squids, what is this, you Lying Scotsman?

Gordon
Well you’re a an immigrant, with no intention of working, and extra upkeep, those Swans don’t roast them selves.

Alistair Darling walks on.

Alistair
PM,Alex Salmond has just declared independence for Scotland.

Gordon
Making me an immigrant, oh Jings and Crivens.

Alistair
Here’s your bill for extra expense as an immigrant.

Gordon
25 billion, how imprudent, spare some change mam

Alistair
Well maybe we could come to an arrangement, I always liked Billy Conolly in Mrs Brown.

Pinches his bum.

This one was good too, a few giggles in it, but I didn't think the ending was very strong to be honest. Also I don't know if the last 2 lines are supposed to belong to Alistair or if you made a mistake. If you didn't, why are there 2 seperate lines here?

This is excellent. But when you submit Soot, get your grammar right. When I see 'your' in place of 'you're' i almost stop reading.

Godot which your is wrong, I'm a bit thick about these things.

"You're" is a contraction of "you are", so if "you are" isn't appropriate you need to use the possessive "your".

E.g. You're aware of course that your tongue is down my throat.

As for the sketch, there were a nice little number of laughs. (But the grammar is a little off-putting.)
