Blair has also complained that Number 10 isn’t good enough.

Two points…

- You were there for ten years, why didn’t you do something about it?
- We all know that there is a secret undercover bunker underneath the quaint exterior. Think The Hive in Resident Evil, full of blood sucking manics

Tony Blair complained about the media this week and Mr Byrne has commented on it. I’ve been thinking and it reminds me of whenever someone like Sir Alex Ferguson or Jose Mourinho complains about referees…you get is so good for such a long time, that when it doesn’t work your way you complain about it. The simple fact is that TB has made some grave errors during his premiership and it is the job of our country’s media to pick up on it.

Unemployment under control under the Labour Government? Think again.

James Bond is great, but it can also be rubbish (Pierce Brosnan anyone?). Here is a list of the worst gadgets that Q has produced. My favorite has got to be the chair.

The Spud Gun, a new blog on my reading list (thanks for the listing by the way), has attacked the trend in PR towards attacking others and looking for scapegoats. It’s not a great trait for any industry and it is definitely not one which I’m a big fan of or that I’d like to get involved in. That said I think it have existed in PR since spin began, and I take it from good authority. PR does attract the cynical and backstabbing type, as does the related path of journalism. The web has simply given people in the industries an opportunity to criticise by a different means. And if you do get attacked, there is also no greater tool than the web to fight back.
