Let's sabotage the Newsnight vote.
Boy oh boy, if there's one thing that we most certainly need more of it's pointless votes. The latest is being hosted by Newsnight, which asks you to vote for the best post-war prime minister. As Unity says, this is a pretty much naked attempt to get stories out of the fact that Gordon Brown is almost guaranteed to come last.
Well, two can play that game. Considering that it's likely to be a straight fight between Thatcher and Attlee, let's go completely into leftfield and choose Thatcher's old nemesis Grocer Heath for the top spot, as Anton Vowl suggests. Go for Gordon Brown for second just to truly stuff the whole thing up, and then put someone like Anthony "Suez" Eden in third for further potential comedy. Attlee can go somewhere in the middle, and Blair and Thatcher can go fight it out for last place.
Who's with me?
Update: Guess it's just me then.

Done & done. Top 3 Heath, Brown & Douglas-Home (whoever the balls he is). On balance I felt, and having just seen the twat-faced cock-egg on the daily show, that the anger and hatred I feel for Blair is marginally more intense than the bitter hatred I feel for Thatcher, and thus I rated him dog-last. It's the only time since 1997 I've felt vaguely hopeful about the outcome of casting a vote.
