Gordon Brown’s YouTube message on MPs’ expenses has been watched only 4,000
times. By contrast, the video of him picking his nose has been watched
630,000 times and the video of the Tory MEP Daniel Hannan haranguing him in
the European Parliament has attracted more than two million hits.

The Prime Minister’s woeful viewing figures can be seen as a symptom of his
difficulties with the internet. His performance in the expenses video,
notably his awkward smile and disconcerting body movements, have been widely
mocked.

comments have been disabled. For although the stated aim of the exercise is
to speak directly to voters, it seems that No 10 seems less keen to have the
voters talk back. A No 10 spokeswoman said that this was necessary because
moderating offensive comments would be too arduous.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/66C0CD54-81CB-40D3-9DE5-FFD16C097224/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
