Before we get into the whole "politics" thing - I'll lay it on the line for you. Yes, I probably will end up taking the piss out of Gordon. Don't take it that I vote Conservative. For the record, I don't trust any politicians. Especially Blair. And Cameron (Diet Blair).

Prime Minister Vs. Prince

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening - depending on where you are reading this - you are about to witness history in the making.

Firstly let me say - The whole format of this blog was my idea. You may see cheap imitations in the printed press in the coming weeks and months, maybe even in a daily newspaper. If you do they stole the idea from me. If anyone other than me wrote it, you have my permission, nay, my blessing should you wish to storm the offices of any culprits, drag them out into the street and douse the motherless swine from head to toe in human waste.

That's all the legal stuff out of the way, now back to the business at hand....

Starting tomorrow, Prince Rogers Nelson will play 21 shows in London before taking some time out - to study religion apparently. Just over a month ago James Gordon Brown became First Lord Of The Treasury and Minister For The Civil Service. I'm going to be watching the both of them. I'll be at opening night tomorrow thanks to the talented, beautiful and courageous Lucy Ellison at AEG (I already said talented, right?) - who knows, I might go to Question Time on Thursday. I'll be updating this daily so check back when you get the chance, you never know you might just like it...

Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome to Prime Minister vs. Prince.

The Tale of the Tape - coming soon...
