(not satire – it’s Nick Clegg!)
A couple of days ago, Channel 4 announced it would be making a one-off 90 minute drama about Nick Clegg.
No really, they did:
Channel 4 to screen Nick Clegg drama in the run-up to the general election
Even more bizarrely, over at the official Lib Dem website they’ve got a poll for Lib Dem members on who they think should play the role of Nick, with the somewhat narrow choice of Brad Pitt, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ricky Gervais and Colin Firth to choose between.
No really, they have:
Who would play Nick in Nick Clegg The Movie?
I feel it’s a bit one-sided to only allow Lib Dem members to vote in such an important survey of public opinion, so I’ve decided to open up the voting to everyone, with what I think is a much more realistic choice of suitable actors to play Nick:

I voted for SpongeBob SquarePants of course. I realise that this would present something of a challenge to the good folk in Make-Up but by no means an insurmountable one. It is the eyes that have it for me; Mr Clegg’s and Mr SquarePants’ eyes are so much alike in the fragility of their expression.

……………however, if i was to choose an actor to play NC, i would nominate Alistair ‘wibbly wobbly’ Webster QC. This man can act. He can act as though the Perversion of Justice, by GMP, doesn’t matter at all.

At first I thought this was a wind up, but reality is sometimes stranger than fiction, I guarantee though there will be no mention of the Orange Book.
Politics today has merged into a one party state where all the major parties are falling over themselves to be the most Neo-Liberal, business friendly set of charlatans that I have seen over my lifetime.

I’ve got an old rubber plant, I call him Wayne and he’s on his way out, but I reckon they’ll get a better performance out of him than they would out of the real deal, in fact they would get a better performance out of the s**t Wayne lives in than they would out of Cleggy

I bake my own tarts….cause I am keen ya’ see on wholesome ingrediants for good cookin….Clegg would not feature on my menu…..however I concede Clegg might be useful if I could possibly, perhaps nail his scrotum and others to a concrete floor. 🙂

I hope the TV drama uses the Kate Bush version of Brazil from the film Terry Gilliam directed; the phrase ‘we’re all in it together’ was used in that film as a slogan.

Definitely Sponge Bob – though he seems to be trailing in your poll for some reason.
