I'll say one thing for the otherwise irredeemable Luke Akehurst - he knows how to spot a good story and such is the news that Labour has now appointed Saatchi and Saatchi to head up its General Election campaign.This is of course a logical step - the next phase in Brown incorporating things Tory in his big tent. S and S are not just an ad agency who had an account with the Conservatives. They are iconic - and masterminded the 1979 Thatcher victory with their famous slogan "Labour isn't Working."
Like everything Brown does, it is deliberate, wilfully designed to upset Cameron, and will no doubt annoy many on the left. However, I won't be losing any sleep particularly as let's face it all ad agencies will work for anyone as long as they are paid enough dosh.
Yes, Brown could have gone for an ethical PR company ( there are some) avoided slick media spin ( wasn't that supposed to be Brown's USP) and hey saved the Labour Party some money - but with these guys on board it will be dirty business as usual. As anyone going to this link
http://www.labour.org.uk/just_gordon will see , they have already come up with a fantastic idea "Not flash - just Gordon." Utterly cringe-making. Expect a torrent of well-deserved p***-takingfrom the Right.

....and piss taking from the left...
Not just that, but as you will have seen he has also just invited Thatcher to No 10! What we have to have remember is that with Brown, Blair, Blunkett, Straw, etc, none of them, but none of them, suffered during the Thatcher years. Yes, they may have had to face the Tories every day, but none of them saw their families, communities devastated like the ex-miner I know who has one bottle of champers on the mantelpiece for when the old bat dies,
However, why people remain in a party that rubs their noses in it everyday is beyond me.
Thanks for the credit.
