A Sketch by Jean-Pierre Martinez
One – Where on earth are we going to go on holiday this year?
Two – I don’t know… It’s getting harder and harder to find a country that isn’t a dictatorship…
One – Finland…?
Two – And where you can still find a bit of sunshine in the summer.
One – In Franco’s day, people went on holiday to the Costa Brava, and it didn’t bother them that much.
Two – Those were dictators who hadn’t been democratically elected. You could hope things would change one day. What bothers me is going on holiday to a country where people have deliberately chosen a dictatorship.
One – Like in our own country, you mean…?
Two – You’re right… We’re not going to deprive ourselves of a holiday either…
