Separated At Birth?

Reader Samantha writes:

I wonder if anyone else has spotted a similarity between the photograph that newly elected Tory Councillor Simon Moores has put on his Thanet Life blog today to illustrate a post about our recently resigned Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, and the photograph of himself that sits in the top right hand corner of the very same blog? Are they by any chance related?

You are misleading people. You have obviously put up two pictures of Simon!

Well don't forget (how could we ever) that Simes once worked at Number Ten. Although not as a body double, as far as I know.

Is that one of those platted goaties Doc M's sporting?

Have you seen his entry in Wikipedia! I assume he wrote it himself. Arrogant t*#ser as Sandy would say. Credited with "digital divide" my arse!

Interesting that SM should claim the phrase 'digital divide' for himself in his Wikipedia entry. He says he coined it in a 1996 TV interview, whereas the OED believes it was first used by the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch in 1995.

I know which one I prefer to believe.
