Staple Government

There is a report in the Spectator that Gordon Brown has regularly thrown his stapler at people who have brought him bad news and recently, in a fit of rage, stapled his own hand.

What, in Heaven's name, is he doing with a stapler? It's not just that he doesn't appear rational enough to be trusted with one, it's that he's not a filing clerk, he's the Prime Minister. He should be running the country, not doing a junior secretary's job.
