That lose-lose situation
It’s all over. You do have to feel for them a little bit…
ITEM: You have a prime minister who everyone says is dour and humourless. People feel free to impugn his mental state and say he’s out of touch.
ITEM: Number 10 attempt a light-hearted and humorous video involving Jeremy Clarkson. People feel free to impugn their mental state and say they’re out of touch.
(Coming soon: Complaints when Gordon Brown decides to give everyone a fifty pound note. ‘It’s a disgrace that people weren’t given the choice of two twenties and a ten,’ say critics.)

Impugn. You mean impugn.

It’s phonics, innit? Fixed now - cheers, Jennie.
The main problem is the video is just not funny! I’d have been happier to see a simple statement added to the Number 10 website: “Dear losers who signed that petition, what a sad bunch of tossers you are. Why don’t you go and find something useful to do, like lying down in the fast lane of the M1. Or perhaps get some some razor blades and go and play on a railway line. Luv, Gordon.”

Oh yeah, I totally agree - it was pitiful. I did say it was an ‘attempt’ at being funny rather than actually being so. Your idea is much better.
