Cameron : War Spirit.

[Gentleman]

I think the war he is referring too is the Great War the one that had lions led by donkeys or in this case a jackass.

They are going to re-make the Dad's Army TV series.

The cast list is going to be...............

David Cameron as Captain Mainwaring
George Osbourne as Sargent Wilson
William Hague as Corporal Jones
Kenneth Clarke as Private Godfrey
Ian Duncan Smith as Private Walker
Jeremy Hunt as Private "stupid boy" Pike
Theresa May as Private Frazer
Michael Gove as Chief Warden Hodges
Nick Clegg as The Vicar
Vince Cable as The Verger

I think it's going to be even funnier than the original series.

Nah. They're making a new "politically correct" movie version with a woman in charge:



The Scottish undertaker Fraser is going to be "reimagined" as a Jamaican.

And instead of being a cosseted mummy's boy, this time round Private Pike will be a mincing gaylord.

And it goes without saying that Corporal Jones won't be a butcher any more - he'll be a greengrocer. Because eating fruit & veg is of course far more "healthy" than eating meat, and having him as a butcher would "send out the wrong message about healthy nutrition".

Sergeant Wilson will of course be a bumbling and incompetent bloke who would be incapable of getting through the day without tripping over his own boot laces, were it not for the presence of his bright, sharp-witted, competent and extremely go-ahead female boss to sort him out.

And the vicar will be a Vicar of Dibley-type woman priest this time round (assisted by a foolish male verger).

Okay I'm speculating on the rest of the cast - but it wouldn't surprise me if they did it in order to "reimagine it for a modern audience with a broader cross-section of a more diverse society being represented" (or some such bollocks).

Chief Warden Hodges was a greengrocer.

You can't have two greengrocers!

[Flat_Eric]

Quite right Spider! I'd forgotten about that.

Better make Hodges a local authority "diversity awareness coordinator" or something like that then.

Or a Muslim called Hajiz.

He could be a Halal butcher.

So just to recap: a big, blousy black woman as the love interest for the Halal butcher. It's all falling into place now !laugh!.
