The bullygate animators are back. This time Gordon the fighting CGI puppet is hurling a tangerine into a lamination machine (a dubious tale brought to you by Jim), smashing his computer screen with a keyboard (courtesy of Iain Dale) and flinging his mobile phone (Jim again). Jeremy Heywood, the top Downing Street civil servant, and a copy of the Financial Times also make a brief appearance.
We salute you Apple Daily. But I fear the Hong Kong geniuses behind this series may be running out of inspiration soon. There aren’t many rumours left to put to pictures. All I can think of are the incidents where Brown overturned a printer with his forearm and stapled his own hand in a fit of rage. And, of course, there are the forces of hell unleashed on Alistair Darling. Will the animators oblige?
