David transcribed this from The Now Show (BBC Radio 4) podcast, June 29 2012.

 

Comedian Marcus Brigstocke on the rich threatening to move themselves and their money abroad.

 

"Everyone has to live with their money is.  But David Cam-Moron has reminded us who is really to blame for all our ills.  Yes, it's all the fault of working class scummy scrounging little piggies, the lot of them.  I, Marcus, am not so stupid as to say that all welfare is sacred and mustn't but touched and cut, but - David Cam-Moron, inherited multimillionaire, talking about a culture of entitlement - my irony meter broke in a wail of bitter laughter.

 

"David Cam-Moron takes those who work hard and do the right thing - good people -

the heart and soul of Great Britian - and pits them against those claiming benefit.  Reasonable, perhaps?  BUT David Cam-Moron knows that they are the same people.  Seven in eight people claiming benifits are working low earners.  They are working but not earning enough and not living near enough to the hospitals shops and factories and schools and hospitals that they work in to keep the country going!

 

"The Conservatives use the word tradition to justify the ideology the rest of the world grew out of decades ago.  They have no idea how the rest of the world lives.  They might say, 'Well, you know, cuts to benifits will mean that working families will have to use their second cars to go to work or take their children forty miles to school unless of course they are at boarding school...

"I, Marcus, wish low earning workers could have the choice to leave the country.  How would the paper pushers cope then?????"
