National No Hope Day

It's reported in the Sunday Telegraph that Gordon Brown, in a desperate attempt to endear himself again to the British public, is thinking of making 1st December National NoHope Day. "The idea," a source is quoted as saying, "is to combine the nation's pleasure at girlband Hope's eventual exit from the singing competition with the need to highlight people in difficult situations who have problems such as poverty and poor standards of education etc. If we can use one issue to highlight the other then I think we can bring a lot of awareness to the issues. So every year December the 1st will be National No Hope day." Gordon Brown ,famously, likes the Arctic Monkeys but it is unclear what his personal views of Hope are. A spokesman however is quoted as saying, "They have one good singer, I believe, er..is it Phoebe?"
