What evidence???  He believes that Tony Blair, the British royal family and various other world leaders are alien lizards.  Because they haven't bothered to deny this and they haven't sued him, he sees this as evidence that what he says is true.\n\nCan you imagine what the reaction of the media would be if Tony Blair sued David Icke for saying that he was a lizard?  How would Tony Blair prove that he wasn't a lizard?  \n\nDavid Icke is an entertaining lunatic.  99% of the time he is a harmless lunatic but the overtones of anti-semitism (the tired old cliches about a worldwide Jewish conspiracy) are disturbing.

BUSTAMANTE, SIR ALEXANDER [Bustamante, Sir Alexander] , 1884-1977, prime minister of Jamaica (1962-67). The son of an Irish father and a Jamaican mother, he was adopted and taken to Spain as a child. He joined the Spanish army, then traveled extensively, working at a wide variety of jobs. Returning to Jamaica in 1932, he became active in the labor movement, gaining prominence with his flaming oratory, and founded the country's largest trade union. After being jailed (1941-42) as a rabble-rouser, he formed (1943) the Jamaica Labour party, a relatively conservative group that attracted right-wing support. He was chief minister (1953-55) and became prime minister in Apr., 1962; independence within the Commonwealth of Nations was achieved that August. A flamboyant leader, he maintained close relations with the United States and launched an ambitious five-year program of public works and land reform. Illness caused him to retire from politics in 1967. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1955. \n\nAuthor not available, BUSTAMANTE, SIR ALEXANDER., The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition 2006

He was a promising chancellor - but now he's upsetting people. He doesn't listen. He doesn't read his email. He doesn't reply to email. He has chickened out of doing something about those bloody Chelsea tractors - going to our schools twice daily. He wastes millions on a daft tax credit system - so ill thought out. He forgets the people who voted Labour. The people will forget him when the General election comes. Wake up Gordon - before it's too late. Sack politicians - not doctors and nurses.

Tony Blair is the current Prime Minister of United Kingdom. Blair began his political career in 1983, when he was elected to the British Parliament as a member of the Labor Party. He quickly advanced to the party's front ranks during the Conservative administration of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, when Labor was in the opposition. He won the favor of Labor leaders, who believed Blair's moderate positions would revive popular support for the party. From 1984 to 1987 Blair was opposition spokesman on treasury and economic affairs. He then moved to various posts in the Departments of Trade and Industry, Energy, and Employment. In 1992 Blair was promoted again, taking charge of domestic issues in the Labor Party's counterpart to the governing Conservative cabinet. Blair was chosen to lead the Labor Party following the death of John Smith in 1994. Tony Blair, at 41 years old, was Labor's youngest leader ever. He soon established a reputation as a determined reformer and firm leader, confronting established factions and contentious policy issues within the party. Almost immediately, Tony Blair began working to make the party more mainstream, de-emphasizing its traditional ties to labor and trade unions in an effort to broaden the party's membership. In May of 1997, Tony Blair, became the youngest British Prime Minister in almost 200 years. After taking office, Blair vowed to honor his campaign pledge to abide by national spending limits and programs established by the preceding Conservative administration. At the same time, he launched ambitious new programs aimed at building better relations with the European Union decentralizing the national government, and reforming Britain's welfare state. In his first year in office Blair fulfilled his campaign promise to hold referendums in Scotland and Wales to decentralize powers from the British Parliament to a Scottish parliament and a Welsh assembly. In addition, Blair worked to stimulate the faltering peace talks in Northern Ireland. Buoyed by the strong performance of the British economy, Blair called general elections in June 2001. Blair led the Labor Party to its second consecutive landslide victory and secured a second term as Prime Minister.

As far as ı can see, there are no specific terms for who can or cannot be Prime Minister except that, by convention, they must be the leader of the party who can command the majority of votes in the House of Commons. Thus he/she must be a Member of Parliament. According to Wikipedia, an MP "must be a citizen of the United Kingdom, of a British overseas territory, of the Republic of Ireland, or of a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, in order to be eligible."\n\nThus, theoretically, no. Not only do they not have to have been born in the UK, but they don't even need to be a citizen on the UK. Past Prime Ministers have been born in Canada and Belgium.\n\nThere are absolutely no provisions against Catholics being Prime Minister - in the last election, Charles Kennedy was Catholic and Michael Howard was Jewish. The person who said otherwise might have been confusing the post of Prime Minister with that of King/Queen...
