The holiday season....
22.07.2008
I am a self confessed "Crackberry" addict so mine stays in the safe at home so I can make a concerted break from all blogging. We have been blogging prolifically recently with the launch of PRBristol.co.uk, so it was good to give the typing fingers a well earned rest.
My only other vice is an addiction to newspapers, magazines and all things media. Happily so are most of my family and many a sunny afternoon was spent catching up on the world of media with a glass of something chilled.
As a result I was happy to see coverage for our PRBristol.co.uk project on Hold the Front Page, PR Week and Brand Republic to name but a few. A quick toast was had by all and then it was on to the silly season in the papers.
Perhaps, it is because I had too much sun or the wine had got to my head, but I damn near caused myself an injury (and subsequently nearly drowned) as I fell off my sun lounger, when I heard the news that Alistair Campbell was rumoured to be returning, on request by Brown, to assist with communications at Number 10.
Now I know the situation is particularly dire at the moment for Brown, but the situation is not all his making and the popularity of this government (I think) took a really bashing when "Alistair became the story" regarding WMD and a certain dossier...
What ever happened to moving away from Spin when Brown arrived? I think that Brown is better off sticking to the dour Scotsman as we all need a serious man at the lelm in times of strife. Surely the tabloid tricks of Alistair would give the opposition and Cameron (a seasoned PRO himself) too much ammunition at a time of crisis like this.
