I think in the present climate he may be right. <br /><br />In principle I would favour a democratic regulation through the state, something the Portman Group was created to prevent. But I don't trust the state we actually have to do that either disinterestedly or competently.Rob Sterowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870233673933087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-50049517034094075082009-12-21T17:43:45.942+00:002009-12-21T17:43:45.942+00:00"I'm not sure we'll ever prevent drun..."I'm not sure we'll ever prevent drunken disorder and perhaps it's no different to how it used to be."<br /><br />Do you mean like the Newfield Inn at Seathwaite in the Duddon Valley, four miles from your place?

The key to an ...Thoughtful piece as always, Davey.<br /><br />The key to an online campaign is firstly keep it simple. One issue rather than multiple, then present it in a manner that all can get behind, rather that pitting say on trade against off. It has to unify rather than divide. Even in the case of x factor if it is to unify against something.<br /><br />Also make it easy to take part. I believe if you wanted to take part in the anti X factor campaign all you had to do was pay 29p for a music track.<br /><br />However, do the wider public really care that much? Enough to get the numbers signing up? And if they do, how to publicise it? The anti x factor campaign not only hit facebook but made the national press. <br /><br />The issue was also a none serious bit of fun, something internet campaigns with mass appeal tend to have in common.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.com
