David Cameron

[Joe Fabulous]

DAVID CAMERON was visiting a Scottish primary school and he visited one
of the classes.

They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their
meanings. The teacher asked Mr.Cameron if he would like to lead the
... discussion on the word 'tragedy'.

So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a
'tragedy'.

A little boy stood up and offered: 'If ma best freen, wha lives on a
fairm, is playin' in the field an' a tractor rins ower him and kills
him, that wid be a 'tragedy.' '

'No', said David - 'that would be an accident.'

A little girl raised her hand: 'If a skale bus kerryin' fufty children
drove ower a cliff, killing a'b'dy inside, that wid be a tragedy'

'I'm afraid not', explained David - 'that's what we would call a 'great
loss''.

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. David searched the
room.

'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'

Finally, at the back of the room, wee Johnny raised his hand...

In a quiet voice he said:

'If a plane kerryin' you and Mr.Clegg wis struck by a 'freendly fire'
missile & blawn tae smithereens, that wid be a tragedy.'

'Fantastic!' exclaimed David. 'That's right. And can you tell me why
that would be a tragedy?'

'Weel,' says wee Johnny 'it his tae be a tragedy, because it certainly
widnae be a great loss.....

and it probably widnae be a f***ing accident either!

Why does it need to be set in a Scottish school?

It would work better if it was set in the British Muslim working class stronghold of e.g. Birmingham, London or Bradford.
