The papers have enjoyed the light touch of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev who visited London yesterday and laughed off claims that a controversial election broadcast was politically damaging by saying "the film was created by a comedian, we should laugh at it".
The film, Prescott: Cultural Leanings Against the Private Office Door For The Benefit Of Getting Your End Away, portrays the spoof Prescott character as being sexist and violent and who travels around the UK in a bus shouting at people with a megaphone.
Mr. Nazarbayev denied that the film would damage the image of the UK abroad and confirmed that he hoped to maintain Kazahkstan's position as the third largest investor in the UK.
Aides to Mr. Blair would not be drawn on whether he had seen the film.
