GORDON BROWN TO METRO-MACHE NEW CABINET

How unreassuring to see that Gordon Brown has taken time out to congratulate the Metro for its part in dumbing down the nation over the last 10 years.

Am I the only one who finds it a bit freaky that as I looked around my tube carriage on the way to work, over 60% of people were reading the same thin and uninspiring publication? Gone are the days that you’d look around and see a host of different books, magazine, documents and newspapers.

In today’s Metro the whole of page three is dedicated to a girl who uses the Metro to grow flowers. The latest person to realise that it you want guaranteed coverage in the Metro; make something out of bits of old Metro.

Gordon Brown’s probably considering right now how he can sack his cabinet and paper mache the next one.

And for those of you who missed our Prime Minister’s wise words:

‘Happy tenth birthday to the Metro! The paper has gone from strength to strength over the past ten years. So many millions of people enjoy reading Metro every day throughout the country, including ourselves in Downing Street. Very many congratulations to everyone working on Metro and best wishes for the future.’

Prime Minister
Gordon Brown
