Spin and the blogger
Tony Blair's reign of power is remembered for it's spin. Jack Straw, Minister of Justice, is continuing with spin. For example, he states that convicted prisoners getting the vote will cause practical difficulties for the Prison Service. However, Phil Wheatley, Director General of the National Offender Management Service, states that the Prison Service is ready to implement measures when the government gives the green light. On the Director General's blog is this little gem: "I hate spin and I think it’s the kiss of death in leadership terms. It’s important that if I say something I really mean it and it is true".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
