See the FAQs for the official website of 10 Downing Street. Are we really so celebrity-obsessed for question no 3 to be "Can I get an autographed photograph of the Prime Minister?". Or is this further proof of Tony's self-importance?

The even more worrying thing is that you, in fact, can obtain said signed photo, by "putting your request in writing to the address on our contact Number 10 page. You must ensure you have included your full postal address."

Plus, in the answer to question no 2, I note a greengrocer's apostrophe, in the form of "Prime Ministers Question's" instead of "Prime Minister's Questions".

Argh. So, about that emigration to Canada...

I don't know that coming to Canada would get you away from celebrity-obsessiveness in any useful fashion, but I'm greatly amused at the image of someone trying to claim some sort of asylum because of the terror of the misplaced apostrophe.

Heh. If I was really, really wanting to leave the UK for political reasons, I would go to Brussels. Mostly because economic migration within the EU is easy for EU citizens, and the city already feels like home - if, for some bizarre reason, I HAD to leave London, that's where I'd go.
