By the way, I'm Mellor, Stockport. Famous for...er home of the late Bill Grundy and Tony Wilson's mum, Craig Cash drinks in some of the pubs, a nice (but expensive) golf course, lacrosse, and that's about it. Oh, I almost forgot, one of the world's greatest archeological digs about 200 yards from my house. No, I haven't been. Beautiful scenery too. Thanks for the blog roll link.

(I know Mellor very well by the way - I'm just round the corner in Preston) Since I ranted too, there's another issue which I missed but is important. We've all known this expenses thing is bent. And we've known it for years. But is it a coincidence that the story has broken in such a big and personal way during Gordon's shift? I'll blog roll your link too. I've been meaning to update my list for months! Rant away to your heart’s content George. (I know Mellor very well by the way – I’m just round the corner in Preston)

In journalism - and in media training for that matter - I've always tried to do things the right way. It's blindingly obvious that what the vast majority of MPs were doing was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. To say things were done on the "advice of the fees office" is hogwash. The people in the fees office are scared stiff of rocking the boat and losing their jobs/pensions/CBEs. The ones caught out should GO. No ifs and buts, GO! No PR activity can save them. Indeed, any PR who tried would probably harm his or her OWN reputation. That must be one of the downsides of PR, when to walk away. I don't like him at all but Max Clifford knows when to walk away. Rant over.

I cut my teeth on writing learning how to craft words for magazines. I suppose that's why newspapers didn't like me.
