Brown Solves World Hunger

Gordon Brown is demanding international action to reduce food prices, which are now at their highest level since 1945.

“The World Health Organisation now views hunger as the number one threat to public health across the world, responsible for a third of child deaths and 10% of all disease," said the Prime Minister on the Downing Street website, adding that Britain is to provide £30m to help the estimated 840 million people suffering from chronic hunger.

“Thank you, Mr Brown,” said a starving Haitian we interviewed as he lay dying in a back street. “This gift of almost four pence will guarantee a long and happy life to each of my hideously-malnourished children.”

“Job done,” beamed the prime minister. “Vote Labour.”
