Gordon Brown goes on strike
We've had reports that following his declining poll performance, widespread criticism and a reduction in allowable expense claims the Prime Minister has gone on strike this morning.
Witnesses describe the bovine-featured PM marching up and down Downing Street, carrying a placard reading "Equal terms for equal PMs". Sources close to the Prime Minister claim that Mr. Brown is dissatisfied with the possibility that he may be removed from his role by the electorate this year, along with grievances about pay and conditions.
Government work may be affected by the strike. No. 10 has already stopped work completely, and there are rumours that senior civil servants in various government departments may also walk out in sympathy. If the strike continues or worsens, crucial work on the implementation of ID cards or the ban on mephedrone may be delayed.
So far though the public seem unconcerned. Trevor Gobbalott, a shopkeeper in Tottenham said "he can strike as long as he wants... the cunt can do precisely fuck all for the next 20 years for me".
