“1234; hardworking and fair, bizarre”
I’m somewhere quite high on here
RIP Mary Devlin
04/06/1943 – 14/03/2013
In no particular order, my favourite 10 producers are;
Chris: Today’s historic trade agreement between Australia and Hong Kong marks a new season of hope for the future of world trade. The two countries have been at each other’s throats for years but now the hatchet’s been buried by a treaty which allows unrestricted trading between all parties at all levels. I’m joined now by Martin Craste, the British minister with special responsibility for the Commonwealth, and Gavin Hawtrey, the Australian foreign secretary, on camera. Gentlemen, this is pretty historic stuff, well done. A future of unbridled harmony then, Australia?
Gavin: Yes, I think Martin Craste and I can be pretty satisfied. It’s a good day
Chris: And if, as in the past, Australia exceed their agreement, what will you do about it?
Martin: This is a very satisfactory treaty which I’m sure will work, well naturally if the limits were exceeded then this would be met with a firm line but I can’t see this being necessary
Chris: Mr. Hawtrey, he’s knocking a firm line in your direction. What are you going to do about that?
Gavin: Well, in that case we’d just reimpose sanctions as we did last year and then we’d-
Chris: Sanctions? Hold on a second, they’ve only just swallowed their sanctions and now they’re burping them back up in your face
Martin: I think sanctions is rather premature talk, certainly. If sanctions were imposed we should have to retaliate with appropriate measures, but I can’t see-
Chris: I think “appropriate measures” is a euphemism, Mr. Hawtrey. You know what it means, what are you going to do about that?
Gavin: Well, I’d just have to go back to cabinet
Chris: And ask them about what?
Gavin: Well, I don’t know. Maybe it’s a matter for the military
Chris: The military?
Martin: I think military measures is totally inappropriate reaction and I think this is way, way over the top
Chris: Sounds like you’re being inappropriate, are you?
Gavin: Of course I’m not being inappropriate, Martin Craste knows that full well
Martin: This is the sort of misunderstanding that I thought we’d laid to rest during our negotiating period
Chris: Misunderstanding it certainly is, it’s certainly not a treaty, is it? You’re both at each other’s throats, you’re backing yourselfs up with arms, what are you going to do about it? Mr. Hawtrey, let me give you a hint; bang
Gavin: What are you asking me to say?
Chris: You know damn well what I’m asking you to say. You’re putting yourself in a situation of armed conflict, what are you plunging yourself into?
Gavin: You’d like me to say it?
Chris: I want you to say it, yes
Gavin: You want the word?
Chris: The word
Gavin: I will not flinch-
Chris: You will not flinch from?
Gavin: War
Chris: War. Gentlemen, I’ll put you on hold. If fighting did break out it would probably occur in Eastman’s Town in the upper cataracts on the Australio-Hong Kong border. Our reporter Donald Bethlehem is there now; Donald, what’s the atmosphere like?
Donald: Tension here is very high, Chris. The stretched twig of peace is at melting point, people here are literally bursting with war. This is very much a country that’s going to blow up in its face
Chris: Well, gentlemen, it seems we have little option now but to declare war immediately
Martin: Well, this is quite impossible. I couldn’t take such a decision without referring to my superior, Chris Patten, he’s in Hong Kong
Chris: Good, because he’s on the line now via satellite. Mr. Patten, what do you think of the idea of a war now? … I’ll take that as a yes
Martin: Very well, it’s war
Gavin: War it is
Donald: That’s it, Chris. It’s war, war has broken out, this is a war
Chris: That’s it, yes, it’s war
