This pretty hamlet on the banks of the Thames has a clock tower that dates back to the reign of Charles I, and a huge debating chamber, now largely redundant, that was once a cradle of democracy. The nearby Westminster cathedral services notice that, incredibly, this was once a centre of influence.</p> <p>The locals appear friendly, if a little secretive, and often lapse into their own dialect to deter outsiders from asking questions. Even bitter enemeies have been known to close ranks when the police try to conduct a fraud investigation. </p> <p>But below the surface, old rivalries seethe and there's an atmosphere of mutual mistrust. The locals spend all their time sitting and staring at their Windows. Every time there seems to be movement in the village, their nimble fingers go into action and the Net visibly twitches. Some say the twittering at dawn is deafening.</p> <p>Only the village wisemen, known locally as the bloggers, seem confident enough to go on record. They seem to fall into one of three camps, according to the rumours they're prepared to belive in. </p> <p>In one camp, they believe that the new PM's identity will be a lad called Cameron. With a scottish sounding name, a gift for soundbites and not much history of a proper job, makeover experts say this new identity, not a million miles away from the original PM who committed the war crimes, is at least do-able. </p> <p>Others say the new PM could be a lad called Nick, whose backstory suggests that he might be more liberal. As with Dave, the makeover is not overly far reaching, but there's only so much material to work on, say makeover experts. But some critics say the public would be onto this in a minute.</p> <p>But the most shocking rumour of all has the new PM emerging as a woman, called Harriet, who will emerge at the end of May, after a previous incarnation Gordon is deliberately put out as a decoy, then goes into hiding. </p> <p>'Harriet already exists' said one terrified conspiracy theorist. According to him, Harriet is already is rehearsing for her first public appearance, and many confirm they've heard the chilling words of a Sham 69 anthem being chanted, as she practices her mockney accent. "Come on, come on, Hurry Up Harriet Come on". </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=799#post-2150 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:55:22 +0000 ronseal 2150@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yes, I do fancy it.</p> <p>I'm working in someone's offices today, so might have to do it tonight </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=799#post-2125 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:38:09 +0000 editor 2125@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>This is a great take on two topical stories.
