There's a typical article in the Telegraph attacking what it calls the chattering classes because it is they and they alone, the article maintains, who are responsible for PRDave's u-turns on school sports and Bookstart. Why not have a read. It's at
Well it's an interesting thesis because it is blindingly obvious that true to his calling PRDave knows that celebrities of all sorts make news. So when numerous sports stars started waving their gold medals in protest against Gove's axing of the 450 School Sport Partnerships, set up by the Labour government with a £162 million annual grant, PRDave quickly recognised a major public relations disaster in the making.
Likewise the cutting of Bookstart's £13m grant just before Christmas has invoked, with the active help of a medley of eminent authors, comparisons with a parsimony characteristic of Scrooge.
The lesson is clear. We don't need politicians to oppose this government and to undermine its leader. They can Twitter as much as they like but it will make no difference. Cadres of celebs, cultural icons and popular idols in every walk of life must be recruited to harass this Tory government to such an extent that it loses the public relations battle every time. What then PRDave? However that still leaves Osborne, obsessively counting his pennies in his Treasury bunker. Suggestions please.
