St Nelson is da number one big boss. All fall down.
The BBC’s “interactive Power Play game, in which players were invited to choose a team of 11 to run the world from a list of around 100 of the most powerful leaders, thinkers and other high-profile people on the planet”, has declared for ... well, it’s bloody obvious really.
The runner-up was the man who never had sex with that woman. Still more inexplicable, Noam Chomski came in at number 4 and Archbishop Desmond Tutu - a nifty dancer but not hitherto a man I would have judged fit for global governance - made it at number 8.
George Soros, the well-known
white-hater philanthropist just pipped that embodiment of open-handed diplomacy, Kofi Annan - who came in last of the eleven.
Pixie-Face grinned his way to number 12. Michael Moore - wouldn’t you love to have that guy in charge? - was 15th.
The good news is that the game was intended for the BBC’s younger readers who are yet to develop much in the way of critical thinking - more than half of respondents voted for the godman of Africa. The bad news is that modern educational methods may deprive these young and impressionable minds forever of that possibility.
Let it also be noted that the BBC picked the list of 100 possible candidates itself, which narrowed the field somewhat. As a sop to Conservatives they included OBL. He came 70th but has declared jihad on the top 69. He has also declared jihad on everyone below him. Well, just on everyone, actually.
Thanks to Johan for the link
