Michael Gove and Pob: separated at birth?

It seems today is the unofficial “let’s all laugh at Michael Gove day” in lefty blogosphere land. Thanks to an anonymous contributor for this Eye-esque comparison of the shadow schools secretary and a beloved 1980s children’s TV character, although in fairness to Pob* he probably has a more defined chin.

*”Pob who?” Those younger than mid-20s (or in the market for nostalgia) may wish to check out this video.
