 Series 2 - MTCP - 7 Shows |
| Show 1 - Fayed Straw & Campbell |
| Alcohol |
 Mark doesn't drink alcohol which gets an odd reaction off many blokes |
| There is an image of people that like a drink being good. |
| Harrods 1998 January sale |
| 5 o'clock in the morning waiting for the sale to start |
| Mark shakes his hand outside and even gets a kiss |
| One of the people there asks Mohammed to draw a picture of his penis. He does! |
| Chants of "Passport, Passport" and others |
| Mark asks if he can talk to Al Fayed about a job |
| They all get breakfast |
| Legalise Cannabis |
| If you say the words "legalise Cannabis" half the people don't hear the words. They hear "Make heroin compulsory for 6 year olds". |
| Cannabis is a creative drug. Paul McCartney, stoned off his tits, wrote Helter-Skelter, the greatest song ever written. |
| With drugs coursing through his system he did the white album, rubber soul, abbey road. With no drugs he did the frog chorus! |
| Drug courts have been mooted |
| Jack Straw's son dealing was the finest example of Cosmic fisting. I blame the Parents. |
| Alistair Campbell |
| In an earlier career he was a porn writer |
| The story "Busking for Bagpipes" is posted on the side of a van but have had to black out some of the words. |
| Head for Downing Street with a scantily clad lady in tow to hand in a petition. |
| "We the undersigned, petition the Labour Government to delay the ban of the satellite TV channel Eurotica Rendezvous long enough for us to dramatise some of Alistair Campbell's saucy stories from Forum magazine and show them on the channel." |
| Mark brings on the President of Eurotica Rendezvous, Roger Kinsbourg. |
| He promises if they get the rights and make the film then they will broadcast it... unencrypted. |
| Drugs |
| Prohibition has failed people will get drugs no matter what and will turn to alternatives if they can't get them. You don't think solvent abuse is the drug of choice? |
| Jack Straw says you can't decriminalise cannabis as cannabis abuse is linked to crime. That's because it's illegal you thick twat. |
| If he's saying that people who are stoned are committing crimes, what crimes? Is it burglary? "When I was stoned I couldn't find the house keys". |
| Mark pops along to Jack Straw's constituency advice service clinic at the Ivy Street Community Centre, Blackburn on 9th January 1998 with three medicinal cannabis users. |
| One ex-cancer patient (Dave), one with arthritis of the spine (Stan) and one MS sufferer (Hamish) all three of which have found great benefit and relief from the use of cannabis as a medicine. |
| Jack Straw agrees to meet them but not until he calls the police. |
| Each of the three have their say and tell their stories. |
| They ask why they must be criminals. |
| Mark asks if they were now to produce and use cannabis and use it now would the police arrest them. At this point Hamish lights up. |
| Jack Straw leaves and the police enter. |
| The police inspect Hamish's tobacco which thankfully is just that. |
| The copper didn't want to search him but did. |
| Odd that Jack Straw claimed there was no medical evidence for the postive effects of cannabis, but a report from the British Medical Association claims otherwise. |

| Show 5 - Lottery |
| One story - The lottery |
| A story of constitutional reform, the green belts and the right to roam |
| Hugh Scully shows Stoneleigh Abbey in Warwickshire, a grade 1 listed building, which was closed because of debts. |
| The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded the trustees £7,370,00 to save the property from decaying further |
| Scully interviews Kit Martin, who heads the trustees |
| Quotes from the official press releases |
| National Heritage Fund - "Demonstrates a real commitment to public access to parts of the abbey, the gardens and the park. |
| Chris Smith, National Heritage Minister - "To safeguard the future of an outstanding historic house and enable far more people to visit and enjoy it. |
| That is the official line and every word of it is shit |
| Under the access proposal you get access to 5 rooms, the long gallery is open on 12 days a year but you have to book in advance |
| Mark takes a coach load of Jacobean house lovers to Stoneleigh |
| There is a private property development going on |
| Mark posed as a property buyer and asked about the public access who reckon there won't be many folk visiting |
| Kit Martin (Historic House Rescue) says the public access is "extremely limited" |
| There is a scheme called the Conditionally exempt land and buildings scheme. If you inherit land and buildings you don't pay inheritance tax if you apply to the scheme |
| But you must let the public have reasonable access. |
| Stoneleigh Abbey has been conditionally exempt for years |
| Little lord Leigh should have put his hand in the air, sold the property and paid the inheritance tax |
| Little Lord Leigh said "I'm a better £7 million lottery bet than gays" |
| Mark phones Lord Leigh and gets his answering machine |
| The Trust try and turn the top 2 floors into an office development which failed |
| They get into financial difficulties, they run up some debts |
| Lord Leigh is owed £250,000 |
| Another trustee (Farnsworth) is owed £160,000 |
| Their solicitor (Richard Moyse) £440,000 |
| Estate Agents (Knight Frank) - £212,000 |
| The Bank - £634,000 |
| They are paying themselves money and getting the charity into debt |
| Debts total £2.5 million |
| Next the lottery give them the money |
| Where does that money go? |
| £2.5 million to pay off the debts! |
| Mark visits Lord Leigh who won't speak to him |
| £1.75 million is used to repair the roof and the walls of the west wing |
| There is no public access to Queen Victoria's bath room because they are being developed as flats for private ownership which is under the roof |
| Heritage lottery said that any benefit the developer might get from the lottery improvements would be reflected in the price of the lease sold to them. |
| Kit Martin paid £1 for the lease |
| Asked Kit Martin how much profit he would make from the deal. He said he didn't know. |
| Estimated that he would make somewhere in the region of £5 million profit |
| They are developing on green belt land, the council gave permission based on the lottery grant |
| Stoneleigh Abbey has received 4 English Heritage grants and then a 5th one for £1.5 million |
| They have an EU grant worth £1.5 million |
| Total of £10 million in grants |
| With the coach tour they wander around the building site eventually gets approached by the site manager |
| They are asked to leave and he asks Mark to go to the site office |
| Surely the national lottery should have raised an eyebrow at paying off the debts MArk asked them about this |
| They said talk to the national audit office, we've cleared it with them |
| They said they'd cleared it with the national lottery fund |
| National Lottery they said they'd checked with the Charity Commission |
| They then said "Ooh, are there debts"? |
| Mark then visits Lord Leigh again he agrees that he received £300,000 |
| 8 miles from Stoneleigh is a hospice they applied for a grant of less than half the debts that the trust had run up. |
| Would have kept Myton Hamlet Hospice open for 3 years |
| They didn't get the grant |
| The lottery can asks for profits that are made on the development to go back to the lottery |
| Mark suggests people write in to complain |
