Oh Lord, please don’t burn us, don’t grill or toast your flock, don’t put us on the barbecue, or simmer us in stock, don’t braise or bake or boil us, or stir-fry us in a wok. Oh please don’t lightly poach us, or baste us with hot fat, don’t fricassee or roast us, or boil us in a vat.

Minister, may I put the first question to you? In your plan “A Better Britain For Us,” you claimed that you would build 88,000 million, billion houses a year in the Greater London area alone. In fact, you’ve built only three in the last fifteen years. Are you a bit disappointed with this result?

Oh yes… I agree that the army should take over, but I think it should not interfere with the programme of street executions, which I feel have been the shot in the arm that the British economy so desperately needed.

You probably noticed that I didn’t say ‘and now for something completely different’ just now. This is simply because I am unable to appear in the show this week. Sorry to interrupt you.
