Dr Faustus - Dis - 9th circle

There is no truth in the rumour that the Supreme Leader of the United Kingdom was turned down by Mephistophilis in recent negotiations for a further term in office, apparently the offer of a number of souls was rejected on the basis that said souls were already in hell, notwithstanding the bodies remaining on earth...

Well, I've had a chat with Mephistophilis, just to clarify this point, and it seems that one may only offer one's own soul. Meph (as he likes to be known), says that he's familiar with the basic principles of Contract Law; towhit: one may not offer as consideration something that one does not own. (Gordon Brown) Texture (Like Sun), has nothing that Meph is interested in, and as such will not be bargaining with him.

no probably will be no need to bargain, as given GB's previous behaviour, his soul, following Dante's guidance, should already be in Dis, his body being occupied by a demon (not I hasten to add Peter M for who could possibly critise that man of integrity - not I, Though I did have a run in with Cherie B in the past...)
