Now I wouldn't normally delve into the murky world of politics here, but the Gruaniads's April fools spoofs of Gorden Brown's election campaign are a refreshingly funny poke at the depressing state of debate in Britain.
Almost reaching Daily Mash levels of blunt cynicism. But then again I suppose that can never get near the blunt cynicism of politics itself.
UPDATE: Labour have now released this effort as an official campaign poster.

Apparently this was the best in a competiton for labour supporters to come up with campaign ideas. The mind boggles as to what the 1000th place effort must have been like.
UPDATE 2: And the race to the bottom of the barrel has now begun in earnest with Gordon Brown announcing a May 6th date for the general election. It's at times like this that I'm glad I live outside of Britain with no TV.
Again, the Mash sums it up better than any of the mainstream media does: Brown asks for five more years of Ed Balls. and But we hate ourselves, Britain tells Brown
