The former prime minister Tony Blair was seen drifting out to sea off the coast of Bridlington this afternoon. He was wearing a tattered straw hat and an open necked Hawaiian shirt and sailed off on-board a small platform with a hut on top.
It is rumoured that he has plans to live on this construction and sail around Britain as a pirate until Gordon Brown allows him back into Downing Street.
He is said to be inspired by the pirates of the Caribbean series and hopes to live like Johny Depp's character Captain Jack Sparrow, and become a member of the undead.
He has for some considerable time considered dying now and returning in a few yeas after being cryogenically preserved to rule once again as a sort of god emperor. To this end he has invested millions into research into cryogenics and it is believed to be near completion.
However the raving madman who boarded the platform this afternoon may not be fit to be awoken ever again.
