Ali and his pals decide to protest this injustice. After he goes on a hunger strike and is spotted chained to some railings by the nefarious Deputy Prime minister David Carlton (played by Charles Dance), he is drawn into a world of seedy political intrigue, as the Chancellor tries to use Ali as a tool to destroy the Prime Minister's credibility. Ali is put forward as a candidate to be the M.P for Staines and manages to alienate most who cross his path, including feminists and the elderly. He manages to win the election by accidentally outing his chief rival candidate as a man who like to 'suck off horses'. For the French commune, see Stains. ...

Before the Leisure Centre can be saved, a video emerges of Ali and his girlfriend (or me Julie) having sex in the PM's office. As Ali was wearing items of the PM's clothing at the time the media believe the video details the PM with a prostitute, forcing his resignation. This results in deputy PM David Carlton being made PM. Carlton who despises Ali and immediately removes him from the cabinet and orders the destruction the aforementioned leisure centre. So Ali and the West Staines Massive must race against time to find the master copy of the CCTV tape proving the former PM's innocence, extending the olive branch to all the gangs all over Staines (even to the East Staines massive) to help them break into the vaults and retrieve said tape.

Reception

The film opened to mixed reviews from critics and fans. While some hailed it as a successful low culture comedy[1], it inspired little of the strong fan enthusiasm associated with Da Ali G Show on HBO[2] and with Baron Cohen's subsequent film, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan[3]. This difference may be a result of the film's wholly fictional scripted plot, which omits one of the most popular staples of the television program—Ali G's real-life unscripted confrontations with unwitting foils. Low culture is a derogatory term for some forms of popular culture. ...
