In Our Prime

As we know, our peoples' Government is determined to concrete over Southern England in order to provide affordable homes for teenage single parents, who will then vote for it out of gratitude. But sadly the economy is about to collapse due to ten years of living beyond our means and a nudge from the sub-prime market.

Meanwhile Kevin Loadsamoney, CEO of Mega Construction plc, sits in his office on the twentieth floor of a glass and steel ego trip by Norman Foster in South London. Through drifting cigar smoke (smoke alarm illegally turned off) he spots the quarterly profit returns of Mega Construction(House Building) plc on his computer. The graph looks like the track of a diving gannet. Stirred into action he calls a board meeting and stops all work on newbuild in the private sector. Later he sits in The Ivy, gloomily considering the sale of his Roller and a return to his roots on the Isle of Dogs.Then he perks up. Old money! The country house conversion racket. Must mix with the toffs. Kevin Loadsmoney hurries out muttering, 'If you can't beat 'em join 'em.' He is off to buy the Daily Telegraph and an Old Etonian tie.

On another side of town Tracy Scrubber, sixteen years of age and with a one year old child named Daren, Aeryn and Dave after his possible fathers, is not happy. She was convinced she would get an affordable house, it is her human right to have an affordable house and if she doesn't get one she wants compensation. For the moment she is living with her Mum and it isn't working. If she doesn't get a house soon she will be very annoyed indeed and out of spite will vote Tory.      Oh dear!
