Labour's answer to all our problems... go live in Cyber Space!

Virtual reality: Peter Mandelson's avatar on website community Second Life has been designed to give him a more 'human' image

"Yet in the parallel universe of Labour's La-La Land, Gordon continues to insist he's a superhero who has saved the whole world from financial ruin and pumps billions of virtual pounds into a black hole of his own creation. Turn on the news bulletins and he's everywhere, making speeches boasting of his brilliance.

I've become convinced that there are several computer-generated Gordon Browns doing the rounds, otherwise he could never keep up such a punishing schedule. The speech patterns are a dead giveaway. For all the advances in computer graphics, voice recognition software hasn't progressed much beyond Dalek level.

Virtual Gordon, like all avatars, has a limited vocabulary, which he is forced to repeat over and over again - 'global', 'began in America', 'right decisions', 'whatever it takes', 'do-nothing Tories', 'global', 'began in America' . . . exterminate, exterminate, exterminate. . ."
