Spiderman in No 10

Monday, 8th October 2007

We have, it seems, a PM whose famous moral compass is pointed to...Spiderman.

Here's what Mr Brown said today:

With power comes responsibility.

And you know whose phrase that is? 

Spiderman's.  

(Well, to be strictly accurate it's "with power comes great responsibility", but what's a "great" between friends?)

So he steals lines from Al Gore and Spiderman. It kind of figures.

UPDATE: Fraser Nelson spotted it, too.
