Jon Culshaw reflects on the ease of hoaxing a Prime Minister
Comedian Jon Culshaw relives the moment he successfully hoax called Tony Blair as he impersonated William Hague, then leader of the opposition.
It follows the headline from the The Sun newspaper from a drunk man claiming to have 'just made complete monkeys out of GCHQ'.
The caller says the country's surveillance agency, who gave him the personal mobile number of their boss, also got through to the Prime Minister David Cameron.
Downing Street said it would be reviewing its security. Something it said back in 1998 when the then Prime Minister took a call from someone claiming to be William Hague as Sarah Montague and Jon Culshaw remember.
