Taxman Gordon!
Some have hailed the internet as the savour of democracy and I have found the ultimate proof, it’s not the power of the blogs to reconnect the grass-roots with politics, but imitation computer games!
I present, TAXMAN GORDON, a game that isn’t at all like Pacman!
Let me unwrap this particuarly subtle piece of symbolism:
There I am, picking up all this money off the ground, when suddenly TAXMAN GORDON comes up behind me, so I run! And I run, and then there’s this tree in front of me and it strikes me…by voting for this tree, I can keep my hard earned coins and my lives! So I ‘vote’ for this tree….and suddenly the taxman is on the run! Ha ha, how the tables have turned!
Now, it’s possibly that if you finish a level, you gain a piece of information about these stealth taxes but I don’t know, because just like Pacman, I suck at it and can’t get past the first level.
I’m hoping that other political parties jump on the bandwagon here, I’m looking forward to the Republican release of ‘Donkey CON!’ and the BNP replacing the Space Invaders with immigrants. There’s a rich new political battlefield here, and I’m glad to see the Conservatives taking the initiative.
