After weeks of speculation British Prime Minister Gordon Brown finally confirmed today that going forward all government emergency warnings will ONLY be sent out via social networking site Twitter!
Gordon Brown explains why
“With emergency warnings you need to get the word out fast and nothing these days works faster than Twitter. Personally I first found out about Michael Jackson’s passing from checking Twitter to see if Stephen Fry had went to bed yet.”
When asked how the many million Britons who do not use Twitter would be expected to know what to do in the event of a major terrorist attack Gordon had this to say
“We here in the Labour Party are doing our utmost to position Britain at the heart of the new technological revolution. If there was to be say a dirty bomb attack on UK soil it is exactly those sort of people who do not know how to operate an iPhone to be killed off first. This would then guarantee that we would have a nation of techno-savvy micro-bloggers left to help push the United Kingdom forward. In fact the more I think about a huge bomb might just be the best thing that could happen to this country. Let’s face it all those folks being dumped out of all the factories that are being closed down aren’t going to be much use to anyone in the foreseeable future, we might as well get rid of them as quickly as possible.”
