Prime Mininister David Cameron has announced that he is to commence a staged privitisation of his own body parts, beginning with his hair.
Addressing leading business people at the annual Pointless Get-together of Business People for no Fathomable Reason Awards, Prime Minister Cameron said it was time for politicians to show leadership in what is widely tipped to be the beginning of further private sales of public property.

"It is time for politicians to show leadership," he said.
Although government sources refused to reveal the exact details of the sale, it is widely believed that Richard Branson, a long-time admirer of the Prime Minister's hair, has cut a deal to take over the running of the previously publicly-funded follicles.
"This represents value for the public," a spokesperson for Number 10 said, adding that the sale of the hair will save the taxpayer some £2000 in yearly haircuts alone. Commenting on his decision to part with his trademark hair, the Prime Minster added, "I believe in gradual and sustained growth."
