INT. DOWNING STREET PRESS OFFICE - DAY 1 51 * JULIAN, adjusting a head mic, watching the plasma screen with * the live feed from the soldier’s headcam. The room now resembles the room in which Barack Obama and co watched the storming of Bin Laden’s compound. Generals. Laptops. * Advisors. All glued to the screen. * JULIAN If he gets wind we’re there, she’s * at severe risk; keep assembling and * keep quiet. * INT. DOWNING STREET BEDROOM - DAY 1 52 Jane is sitting at a dresser. A baby’s milk bottle is on the * dresser. Offscreen we hear a baby crying. Her laptop is open - * - she’s supposed to be working -- but is instead browsing Twitter using the third-party application Tweetdeck. A flurry of tweets. Concern for the princess. Conspiracy theories - is it a ‘False Flag’ operation? Sardonic one-liner gags from celebrity comics. Jokes about how he’s already screwed the country. The hashtag ‘SNOUTRAGE’. And these are the jollier comments. There are tweets joking the PM will catch Pig AIDS and die. Forum debates over which orifice he’ll enter. Tweets which say fucking a pig would be preferable to fucking his wife. The raw cruelty of the net. She can’t stop reading it.
