STINKY CAT GETS PLUM AMBASSADORIAL ROLE |

PRIME Minister Gordon Brown was embroiled in a fresh cronyism controversy last night after it emerged he had appointed his cat to be the ambassador to Pomerania.
 Mr Stinky: He won't pong so much with his nadgers off Mr Stinky will move from his current position of High Commissioner for Scotland to take up the prestigious post, and was said by Downing Street to be “the best cat for the job”.
However, the posting was immediately attacked as unsuitable by senior civil servants who pointed out that Mr Stinky had recently been ejected from one diplomatic reception for washing his private parts in front of the Queen of Belgium.
Denys Finch-Hatton, head of the Civil Service Association, said Britain’s relations with the strategically important Baltic state where at a delicate stage and required a safe pair of hands not “a ball of fluff with sardine breath and a bit of a chip on its shoulder”.
He said: “It may be that Mr Stinky has some special affinity with the people of Pomerania, or some particular diplomatic skills we are not aware of. Or maybe the Pomeranians just really get on with bird murdering little bastards with a touch of the mange.”
A source close to Mr Brown defended the appointment of Mr Stinky and said he was already under the vet for his mange and had recently been wormed.
He also confirmed that Mr Stinky would be neutered before taking up his post. “It just seems like the right thing to do,” he added.
He will be replaced as High Commissioner for Scotland by a troll.
