Blofeld: You heard me correctly, Mr. Brown. Unless you pay me one million pounds by midnight, I shall detonate my atom bomb, obliterating London and killing millions. Ha ha ha! Ha ha haaaa ha ha ha ha!
Brown: This would be the atom bomb that ye stole, the noo?
Blofeld: Yes, but I don’t see what that has to do with-
Brown: So the million would be fully subject to capital gains at forty percent, aye?
Blofeld: What?!
Brown: And that base o’ evil I can see behind ye on your viewscreen? Has it been assessed fer business rates?
Blofeld: Ah...um...Enterprise zone?
Brown: Aye, I thought not. That’s another nine percent on top o’that.
Blofeld: You misunderstand me Mr. Brown. The one million is non-negotiab–
Brown: Aye. And that army of jumpsuit clad goons. Have ye been making employers National Insurance contributions on their pay? I doot it! Another eleven percent.
Blofeld: Now just wait a minute!
Brown: And that silo must’ve cost ye a fair few bawbees an’ no mistake – but ye’ve never submitted a tax return! So there’s a mandatory one hundred poond fine plus interest for each return not submitted on time. Not to mention the fine for not submitting a formal planning application.
Blofeld: Now I’m sure we can talk about this like sensible –
Brown: And no VAT returns neither! Another seventeen point five percent! Aye, it's a rod fer yer own back ye've made here, Blofeld.
Blofeld: But –
Brown: So, by my calculation that million poonds comes to two hundred and twenty thousand, nine hundred poonds and fifty pence.
Blofeld: You make me angry Mr. Brown!
Brown: Less corporation tax at nineteen percent.
Blofeld: What the?!
Brown: And then there’s income tax at another forty percent. Och! That’s one hundred and six thousand, nine hundred and twenty poonds left.
Blofeld: Your last chance, Brown! Pay the million or-
Brown: And those rickety gantries behind ye look like a clear breach o' European Health and Safety regulations! There's a statutory fine to pay ye know!
Blofeld: Right! That does it! London burns! [Presses button].
Brown: Och! Setting off a thermonuclear device! Ye’ve just incurred a charge under the climate change levy! Hallo? Hallo?

One man's satire is another man's subversion. It's not like the government is going to march us of to Guantanamo bay for holding opinions they don't entirely like...

Ah.

So, it this Half hour news hour funny? or is it Fox?
