There’s no business like show business and show business has its eye on the day to day business of a famous English, North London MP.
“The life of the fantabulous, absolute boy is to be filmed,” our entertainment correspondent reports, breathlessly, “with the working title ‘Rebel Without A Clue’ by Spleen Films.”
The filming is planned as a fly on the wall documentary and will be done by the aforementioned punk filming outfit. There will be no script, because the script never changes anyway, but it’s believed the dialogue will not be improv, as it is planned to appeal to Leavers in one sentence and Remainers the next.
“Basically we’ve given some smart phones to a bunch of Corbyn youth kids and told them to take a week off screaming the C word on the doorsteps of householders in Tory constituencies and got them to agree to follow their messiah about for free,” a spokesman for the production company, Spleen Films, told us,
“we would have liked to pay them peanuts, but all the money goes on those endless social media set pieces the old boy is endlessly making. It may actually turn out a bit post modern. Film crew films film crew. Quite avant grade I’d say.”
But it won’t all be life as lived day by day. There will be actual interviews.
“Yes. The subject will have a chance to explain how the Cuban revolution inspires him to this day,” our correspondent adds, “oh and he’ll also explain how he squares being a socialist, and not a communist, with supporting the hard right Tory political project of Brexit that will hurt the weakest hardest in any form, and was brought about by criminal activity in an opinion poll held years ago now.”
Bring your popcorn and book a seat.
“I wouldn’t bother booking a seat for the premiere.”
Why not?
“Because you’ll be in a re-education camp by then comrade.”
