[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 newsreaderโs commentary comes:
NEWSREADER:
Extraordinary images here
of an expat in Dubai
[The influencerโs eybrows raise slightly]
โฆHaving 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 influencerโs face. The intervieweeโs name is David Jones].
CLIVE MYRIE:
To explain the significance of this moment weโre 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: โDubai Is Brilliantโ.
[Pointing at the screen, the influencerโs 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 Expatโs previous thoughts.
CLIVE MYRIE:
Which areโฆ?
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:
โI Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax Toโ
CLIVE MYRIE:
Mmm.

The "The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math" meme (a drawing of a blue bird with a red face and the above quote as a caption spaced in a way to induce comedic timing), altered so the caption reads 'The risk I took was calculated, but man, some numbers were Fucking Missing,' with added emphasis on the last two words.
