Out-controversialed
Any worries I have ever had about getting into trouble with senior management at work for saying something too controversial here have now disappeared, as my company's Chief Exec, Colin Byrne has got a bit of coverage here, here, here and here for being less than complimentary about the No10 press operation.
Being a multi-party agency we have quite a diversity of views in my workplace, so just for the record I don't share Colin's critique (sorry Colin!).

Yes Luke - but Byrne comes out of it looking competent, and number 10 looks foolish. That's good PR - unlike putting it about that you support detention without trial and rendition flights that are connected with torture. That just makes people bury their heads in their hands and wonder what on earth you're playing at.

That's why he's UK CEO and I'm not!

If your CEO had praised Brown's media team instead, do you think the would be all over the papers? Of course not, and that speaks volumes.

More importantly, if he'd backed torture and kidnap, it'd probably have attracted less attention. Says something very sad about our society.

Aside from the PR value, the specific content came up twice unprompted during canvassing today
