Gordon's no dummy

Tony Blair's waxwork dummySounds like a good headline for the PM? - well not really. It seems that the people at don't think Mr Brown is enough of a draw to bother making a waxwork of him.

Public relations manager Ben Lovett tells PA news:
"At the moment we have no plans to make Gordon Brown.

"We are going to wait for a general election to see what will happen because
that's the ultimate test of public opinion.

"We are always continuing to monitor public opinion so if there's a surge of
support then we will reconsider."

Sadly for Mr Brown's ego it seems Tony Blair's waxwork is still drawing the crowds.

How can they not have the UK Prime Minister?
Don't tell me the curator or owner is an ex Etonian with an agenda like pretty much all the rest of the establishment?
Get the waxwork done now is what I say.

So what if he is prime minister? he wasn't elected by the public as one, so until then he doesn't deserve it!

Jul,

policy at Tussauds has clearly changed; John Major had a waxwork installed upon becoming PM in 1990. You may recall he didn't win an election for two years after that. Tell me: to whom did you complain?

Perhaps a Spitting Image dummy would be more suitable in this case

Give him his waxwork. He is our Prime Minister after all.

Well, here's hoping he becomes the shortest PM in history he's certainly the worst politician that Labour has ever had.

A lifelong labour supporter till Brown savaged my pension and taxed me to hilt.
