Brown doppelganger sought

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it seems nobody wants to flatter the Prime Minister. Word reaches Westmonster via our sister title, Glitterditch, that famed photographer Alison Jackson and Esquire are launching an open casting call to find a lookalike for El Gordo after a fruitless six-year search:

"I have been dreading Gordon Brown becoming Prime Minister because despite six years of searching I still cannot find anyone to match his huge bovine features. I've never had such difficulty finding a look-a-like before."

Jackson will be running ads in national newspapers next week asking potential Brown-alikes to come forward for the casting calls.

Westmonster is certain there's a lucrative package in it for the eventual winner, but is wondering who exactly is going to nominate himself as "huge" and/or "bovine". Besides, one Gord is enough for us.
