Sponsor-A-Minister

Yet more rejection from the land of Tilt...

GRAMS:SYMPATHETIC SLOW MUSIC FOR SPONSORING THE UNDERPRIVILEGED

VOICEOVER:
Some people aren't as privileged as the rest of us. Difficulties mean constant lying is inevitable and begins early on. Many spiral completely into a life of crime...

Why not sponsor a government minister today..?

Commanding respect is difficult with only a privileged education and two chaffeur-driven luxury cars to rely upon.

Ed and Yvette were recently hit doubly hard as both are ministers. Proposed rules would find them over £300,000 out of pocket. Now, they cannot eat, as without your contribution they cannot afford to buy something as simple as a kitchen.

As little as £43,000 will allow a minister to employ their own son as a researcher. That's enough to cover both a salary *and* bonuses for doing practically nothing...

Just twice your gross monthly salary will allow a former deputy prime minister to buy simple groceries for a whole year...

So please, act with your heart, not your head. Sponsor a government minister today. Make a difference.

<literally no reaction at all from audience>

I found this SO true, that it lost is comedic appeal.

Nicely written, but would probably spark a reaction if you can invent a twist at the end.

Well, if you insist, I found it very dull.
Desperately in need of a twist or incorporation of a second news story or some sponsorship 'business' - you get a certificate to hang, Christmas card, work report, etc.

Best.

Didnt work for me to be honest although I would like to see ministers going on sponsored walks.

Cheers for the feedback guys -- much appreciated.

Like the certificate/Christmas card idea. May lead it somewhere better.

Obviously, these Tilt people know what's shit. Bully for them.
