I share your distaste. The grief of all the families and the human cost is brought home by the processions through Wootton Basset. That feeling over-rides considerations of political ins-and-outs, but it's worth noting that the repetition of such images is extremely efective in reminding us of the key message - war costs.<br /><br />I've blogged on Murdoch on my very new blog page. His idea to charge internet users of news content is reminiscent of putting cats back into bags. He'll need more luck than Brown to pull that one off.<br /><br />The ability of Brown to communicate has been compromised by his apparent refusal to recognise the benefits of coaching and script-writing. <br /><br />He relies on the idea that what he has in mind will be appreciated without the flim-flam of assistance from those who have helped his pre-decessors and opponents.<br /><br />I understand he writes his own speeches, and I suspect he reads books on presentation skills. However, the number one tip for a presenter has to be a toss-up between "Get a Coach" and "Get a Script-Writer". <br /><br />Political leaders need all the help they can get. Brown eschews it at his peril.John Turnerhttp://www.howdoyoudopresentations.com/Blog.aspxnoreply@blogger.com
