Despite the fact that Nulabour has been instrumental in the closure of innumerable small care homes, Gordon Brown has tried to overturn a closure ruling in order that an 106 year old can remain in her care home, see here. This is partly because it is a sad story and mainly because it has been a high profile news story.

Despite the fact that Gordon Brown recently said that we had sufficient helicopters in Afghanistan he has just ordered 20 chinooks, see here. This is because the mother of Guardsman Jamie Janes, killed in Afghanistan, said that the army needed more helicopters and the phone conversation was recorded and widely aired.

Way back in 1997 Nulabour took off with a jet propelled whoosh and, for a while, streaked across the sky. Well time moves on and now we see a weary Nulabour, its engine spluttering, nearly out of fuel, falling rather than descending to earth. Only just able to maintain control, the 2009 election results could be at best an embarrassing incident, and at worst a bad accident.
