Naughty & very funny Simon Hoggart sketch: 'Brown and Susan Boyle have much in common'

With the government falling to bits like candyfloss in a wind tunnel, many people at Westminster were astonished to discover that Gordon Brown had made anxious inquiries about the health of Susan Boyle, who surprised everyone last weekend by coming only second on Britain's Got Talent.

But I wasn't puzzled. The two have much in common: (1) Both come from small Scottish towns. (2) Neither are the loveliest creatures on the catwalk. (3) Both have a religious background. (4) Susan Boyle has, we are told, imaginary friends who aren't real. Gordon Brown has imaginary friends who aren't really friends. (5) Both might have won if the poll had been held earlier.
