GORDON BROWN is sitting at his desk.

PHONE RINGS

BROWN:
Hello? (PAUSE) No, you can't bloody well seek refuge in this country. We've got enough perverts as it is! (SLAMS PHONE DOWN)

PHONE RINGS AGAIN

BROWN:
Hello? Ah, Commissioner Blair…(PAUSE)… no we don't need more police at the airport. I told Gary Glitter he's not welcome. (PUTS PHONE DOWN)

PHONE RINGS AGAIN:

BROWN (ANNOYED):
What now? (MORE ANNOYED) Oh, David. No, I don't want to speak to that pervert again. Oh, put him on then...Oh, hello Pervez Musharraf....

Great idea but the 3rd one is a bit confusing as Mushy-fish has just resigned.

Yeah, just realised this isn't obvious enough at the end. The idea was Mushy is using Miliband to secure safe passage, as GB told him to sod off.

I'm still having issues with making good ideas seamlessly into jokes :(

Better?

PHONE RINGS

BROWN:
Hello? (ANNOYED) Ah, David. No, he can't bloody well seek refuge in this country. We've got enough perverts as it is without Gary Glitter as well...Oh, hello Pervez Musharraf...

Better

Does this make more sense?
