Meacher to upload self on to YouTube

Michael Meacher is to boost his faltering campaign for the leadership of the Labour Party by uploading himself on to YouTube. The move is designed to demonstrate that he is in touch with the modern world and that he can appeal to younger voters whilst seeing off sneerers who say that he is a hopeless old self-deluded duffer. Once the upload is complete, Meacher will be accessed only via the popular file sharing site. A spokesman for Meacher said that his remaining useless, empty husk will be donated to medical science, if they want it.
