In political twist worthy of legend, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has bought in to the concept of one of the most popular shows on British television - The Apprentice. Yes it's true, Brown has hired Suralan Sugar. The business mogul responsible for setting up Amstrad has been appointed enterprise adviser.
In a truly inspired move, PM Brown made the decision only days after Sugar's hugely appreciated TV show ended, thus tapping into the mind of thousands of Britons, while drawing their attention away from the bubbling Expenses Scandal.
A Downing Street source said: "The Prime Minister wants the best business brains in the country to help put Britain back on the road to economic recovery. He's delighted Sir Alan has agreed to help play a leading part in his business and enterprise strategy."
