INVENTING a crisis is exciting and makes you feel important if you’re a twat. Here home secretary Sajid Javid describes some great ones to try.
Asylum seeker crisis
This showed that I am both super-tough and an excellent future prime minister if you’re a racist voter or Tory party member. Kudos to me for thinking of such a brilliant strategy.
Workplace crisis
In the absence of a real crisis like a fire, blow up a totally minor issue, eg. “EVERYONE LISTEN! I want you to keep calm, but I’m getting reliable reports that SOMEONE IS USING JOANNA’S MIFFY MUG.”
Take charge and insist the culprit is put in a makeshift ‘detention centre’ you’ve built under your desk using chicken wire. Your boss is bound to be impressed by your vigilance.
Squirrel crisis
Squirrels regularly invade Britain’s back gardens with no travel documentation and their alien nut-related ways. Draw up a plan as follows:
● Deter them by standing at the window shouting, “I can you see you, Tufty!”
● Devise a scheme to tag squirrels, with a custodial sentence if they leave their trees after 7am.
● Run around the garden chasing them with a hammer.
This will prove you are exactly the sort of stable, no-nonsense politician Britain needs.
Bubble bath crisis
No minister wants to be the one who ‘dropped the ball’ on the UK’s bubble bath supplies. You’ll be relieved to know I’ve just ordered 90 million bottles of Matey (and put out a press release about it, naturally).
Lost keys crisis
If you can’t find your keys, call 999. Insist the police also alert Special Branch and the SAS. If you find them five minutes later on the kitchen table it just shows you weren’t prepared to gamble with the nation’s key security.
