David Cameron today tried to convice Britain yet again that we’re all in it together, in one Big Society… Judging by his new-found jowls, Ms Cushion thinks he meant one Pig Society! All in the trough together.. ?
Introducing:
David Cameron as Thomas the Tank Engine
Tony, Edward and Gordon as themselves
Rt Hon Eric Pickles as the Fat Controller
Narrator played mischievously by Ms Cushion
Thomas’ Train/A Big Day for Thomas
Thomas: I spend my time pulling coaches about, ready for you to take out on journeys!
Narrator: The other engines laughed.
Thomas: Why can’t I pull passenger trains, too?!
Tony, Edward, and Gordon: You’re too impatient. You’d be sure to leave something behind.
Thomas: Rubbish! I’ll show you!

Thomas – It is an honour and a privilege to stand here, before the party I lead, before the country I love, as the Conservative prime minister of the United Kingdom.
I want to tell you today, in the clearest terms I can, what we must do together, and what we can achieve together.
Narrator – Yes, Thomas but you are scaring all the passengers
Thomas – Look what we’ve done in five months. Just imagine what we can do in five years…
The Fat Controller: Hello! Remember, don’t be impatient, Thomas. You can never be as strong and fast as Gordon, but you can be a really useful engine. Don’t let the silly fucks trucks tease you.
Thomas: From top-down to bottom-up. From state power to people power. The big society spirit blasting through. Peep! Peep! Peep!
Narrator – Well, it made me laugh anyway…

(P.S.. some people (2678 ) seem to think Dave looks more like a “Hooray Henry… “)
