Chris Martin and David Cameron - Is this an April fool from The Guardian?

[beansprout]

Or what?

I can't do a link as it doesn't seem to be on the website which makes it even more likely to be an April food methinks.....

Anyone else see it?

No, it is genuine...............................

Aha! I thought the photo looked dodgy!

[Posey]

And the writer's name is an anagram of April Fool.

If you haven't seen it on th website, do look just to hear the recording of the song. Dunno if Chris Martin did it but it's hilarious: \link{http://www.guardian.co.uk/podcasts\here}

I am v embarrassed: fell for it hook line and snker, even to the extent of retelling to my brother and saying I wd have to hang up my converses...10 mins later one of the kids mentioned April fools day..
Doh!

[spacedonkey]

HA! I fell for it too

[SorenLorensen]

Managed to persuade dh it was true ("what a tw@t" he said of Chris Martin) until the song started playing at which point he said "that's not Chris Martin!"

[soyabean]

Just listened to the song: quite good, but obvious. The article really did fool me this morning

[wessexgirl]

Ha ha, dh totally believed this. He hates Chris Martin with a passion though and so wanted it to be true!

I smelled a rat straight off though when he quoted me the line about Tony Blair not turning up for a meeting so "Madonna stormed out and Stella McCartney was gutted". Yeah, yeah.

Please tell me \link{http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article355018.ece\this} was also an April Fool. Condoleezza and Jasper Carrott ?!!!!!

[welshboris]

That ones dated the 2nd so maybe it is true

It was published in yesterday's Indie.

Was reading the Indie ones today and was totally sucked in.
