Just what we need in a world where totalitarianism is going mainstream.

The boss from theregister.com 's BOFH series is now prime minister of Britain.

In the UK? This would last until precisely one second after it appears there's more than 1% discrepancy by demographic group.

But it's not their money so what do they care.
