Ready for the good times

Shakira is to hold a “virtual meeting” with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Monday to discuss way to improve access to education in the third world.

The Colombian will speak with the leader by telephone to bounce around ideas as part of a week of action for the Global Campaign for Education.

Brown has caused controversy in his own country recently by doubling the 10% tax rate for families on lower incomes in the UK, hitting the poorest people in the country - all the while giving a 2% tax cut to the richest. So some might find it a little difficult to take the Prime Minister seriously on matters of poverty. But good luck Shaki!
