Hundreds of Russians are not in hospital with the plague. It is a "special medical operation".
I remain a master strategist.

![Scene is a THEME PARK. A family are just arriving at the end of a long queue for a ride. All we can see of the ride's name in this frame is ’...THE RIDE’.
1
MUM:
Ugh... look at this queue
2
KID:
They've made the set quite fun though
3
DAD:
I love the theme detail
[We see the theme of the ride, which is built around the queuing area, seems to be a RUN DOWN UK HIGH STREET - Vape shops, unaffordable housing, empty units, bookies, etc.]
4
KID:
Ooh, look dad
There's screens!
5
[There is a screen to keep people entertained and informed in the queue, as they have at theme parks. At first it reads]:
Current queue time: 45 minutes
6
[Then the image on the screen changes to a ride promo video]:
SOCIAL CONTRACT: THE RIDE
7
[Video continues]
The uk's most on-the nose metaphorical experience!

Feel the FEAR of worrying your kids will be worth off than -
[A voice interrupts the audio]
PSHWXFT Ladies and gentlemen -

I'm sorry to announce
The Social Contract ride has broken down
10
Queue time is now indefinite
PEOPLE IN QUEUE:
Uuuugh
11
VOICE:
But any guests who've got enough money,
12
Can just buy a Q-jump pass and they'll be fine.

[Show wealthy looking people in the express lane queue, running past everyone and shouting "WHOOO!” as if they're on a rollercoaster]

MUM: That was amazing
KID: Let's go again

I’m Satan, CEO of Everlasting*
[*Formerly known as Hell]

and I want to talk to you about how we’re working…
[SATAN opens a door into Hell]
5 [We see Hell, burning pit, tortured souls etc]
… towards a sustainable future.
6
Over the last 6 millennia we’ve increased our fiery pit efficiencies

By pushing more souls in at once…
[Souls being poked into the fiery pit by demons]
….with sustainably sourced soul-pokers.

Plus we’ve developed state of the art SCT*
*Scream Capture Technology

[We see the flaying machine]

And we’ve even got a page on our website
[Satan shows us a screen on a laptop]
with a nice illustration and some green writing…

![[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]
From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:
NEWSREADER:
Extraordinary images here
of an expat in Dubai
[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]
…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.
[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones].
CLIVE MYRIE:
To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent
DAVID JONES:
Clive, this is momentous
It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.
[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]
You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.
It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.
CLIVE MYRIE:
Which are…?
DAVID JONES:
You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes,
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.
CLIVE MYRIE:
And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?
DAVID JONES:
I think we can expect to see:
“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”
CLIVE MYRIE:
Mmm.
