The Guardian has been famous for its April 1st issue for decades. This is a good one.

One tactic being discussed involves provoking a physical confrontation at one of the three ground-breaking TV debates between the candidates. In this scenario, Brown, instead of responding to a point made by Cameron, would walk over from his microphone with an exaggerated silent display of self-control, bring his face to within an inch of the Tory leader's, and in a subdued voice, ask "what did you just say?", before delivering a single well-aimed blow to his opponent's face, followed by a headlock if required.

The bloodied and bruised Cameron could then be whisked to a nearby hospital, where a previously briefed team of doctors and nurses would demonstrate the efficiency and compassion of the NHS under a Labour government.

Yes, that is good news. The English law of libel has no place stifling scientific debate.

Actually you should make that your motto

Don't need to be skinny to throw a decent punch (in fact weight helps)

Gordon Brown is like Rocky Balboa, in that he'd need to go southpaw to avoid his gammy eye side.

No but you need to be quick. He's a slow fat lump.
