![[Scene is a DRINKS PARTY with various monstrous horror characters - proper grown-up, modern horror film type nightmare things - and they are standing around chatting. A little GREEN BLOB MONSTER called Dan is being introduced to the other monsters].
1
MONSTER 1 [introducing the little blob to the other monsters]:
Everybody, this is Dan
GROUP OF THREE MONSTERS:
Hi Dan!
2
MONSTER 2:
Pleased to meet you Dan, I’m Peter
3
MONSTER 3:
I’m Mary
MONSTER 4:
I’m Sean
4
MONSTER 1:
Peter is an extended metaphor for bereavement
5
MONSTER 1:
Mary is a manifestation of intergenerational trauma
6
MONSTER 1:
And Sean is a body-horror chimera expressing the cannibalistic dynamics of late-stage capitalism.
7
MONSTER 4:
And what do you, Dan?
8
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a green blob that lives in the toilet and bites you on the arse.
9
MONSTER 3:
Gosh…
So is that like a metaphor for… society… or…?
BLOB MONSTER:
No.
10
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a basic, old fashioned, meaningless horror movie monster. I’m a green blob in your toilet. I bite you on the arse.
11
[They all look disgusted]
12
[As the other monsters look awkward and drift away, Blob monster thinks]:
I hate parties

Show a building sign posted:
Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic
With various Westminster people or looking at their phones outside it
Nurse:
Ministers, Spads, Researchers…
4
Nurse:
Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely
[Nurse on phone taking a call]
Ok - we’ll be right over
5
Nurse:
We just have a gentle chat
[Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster
Minister:
I understand your concerns…
6
Nurse:
Are you OK love?
Minister:
Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters
7
Nurse:
That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian
[Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters]
Nurse 2:
Give us your phone, love
8
Nurse:
At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to
[We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.]

Minister:
YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR
[woman looks baffled]
10
woman:
I just want a bus service
Minister:
LOOK AT MY FLAG
[produces a St George's flag]

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand
