Visually challenged MP David Blunkett was yesterday the subject of much controversy, after offering to leave his brain to scientific research.
Head of Medical Research at UMIST 'The University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology', Dr Kendo Nagasaki, appeared rather sceptical last night, when he announced that it would, "Cost a bloody fortune". to transport Blunkett, his guide dog 'Braindonor' and the 'transmission electron microscope'(TEM),'Titan 80-300' into the Australian interior, where atmospheric conditions would be suitable for the detection of such a small particle of matter.
"Blunkett might be a nice guy", said Dr Nagasaki, "but he is no Michael Aspel. The cost of shipping him, the TEM microscope, and that viscious little rabies carrier into the Australian outback would be prohibative. I vote we just wait until he croaks, slap him on the side of the head, and see what falls out".
David Blunkett was this morning said to be disappointed by Dr Nagasaki's remarks, and threatened to approach Sir Ronnie 'The Witchfinder' Legless with a view to assessing the doctors expenses and hopefully slapping him with a huge retrospective payment.
'Braindonor' was unavailable for comment. but indicated that he would like walkies, and perhaps a biscuit.
