DISNEYLAND LONDON

Buckingham palace is in the process of being turned into the latest branch of the Disneyland group. As one of the construction workers I am in charge of excavating the parade ground at the front of the palace for remodelling. I work with hundreds of Mexicans obliged to wear plastic masks to disguise their identities.

Hundreds of Americans crowd the fences, offering sweets, chattering, bouncing basketballs to the workers. One kid climbs through the railings and runs towards a Mexican worker, trips and cuts his forehead badly. The mood gets pretty nasty.
