Bremner, Bird, Fortune and (Dr) Reid
I am sure that there is a comedy mole in the Home Office. Look at David Blunkett's tenure in the Home Office - using government stationery for personal reasons - what man in his right mind would use work stationery to further one's interests? Charles Clarke not coping with the Tsumani of Paedophiles and Asylum Seekers. Gosh! The job of England's Football Team manager makes the Home Secretary's job look like a broom cupboard job on Tahiti.
Now we have Dr Reid who promised to get things done and implied incompetence of his predecessors. He blustered his way into the office, sleeves of his shirt rolled up, swearing the fuck out of the place and assured all and sundry that the Home Office was due for big changes. Then he buggered off on holiday!.
Dr Reid has now become the subject of two classic comedy gags - phoning up failed asylum seekers on their mobiles and telling that their time is up and they should fuck off out of it or else.
Then we have the talky CCTV camera to point out to wrong doers that they have been clocked
"Hey drug dealer, stop your nonsense otherwise we'll nick you," strip you down and dress you up in Hazel Blears Merchandise. You'll lose all your street cred and won't be able to sell drugs on these streets again"
"Hey piss artist, stop annoying passers by otherwise we will subject you David Miliband videos during your hangover"
"Dogowner, how dare you allow your dog to shit on the pavement. We'll come and rub your nose in it"
"Hey Asylum Seeker, what is your mobille number, so we can ring you and tell you to fuck off"
I am sure these ideas have been generated by a twelve year old whizz kid or a budding sketch writer. There is, however, plenty of material for Bremner, Bird and Fortune.
