Comments on: Bush and Blair http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/bush-and-blair/ Reflections of a working writer and reader Sat, 19 May 2012 08:23:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Paul http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/bush-and-blair/comment-page-1/#comment-55985 Paul Tue, 10 Apr 2007 08:58:37 +0000 http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/bush-and-blair/#comment-55985 John - Talking of politics - do you know anything about the new Parliamentary Lobby Group on Publishing? Apparently it was started by Gordon Banks MP, but I've heard little to nothing about it. I've believed for some time, perhaps naively, that the industry itself should have some sort of jointly funded association, with a budget (perhaps skimmed off the top of its celebrity advances pot) for market research, the promotion of reading and lobbying. <strong>jb says</strong>: No, Paul, I've heard nothing about it at all. Perhaps someone else can fill us in? Otherwise I'll do a search and see if there's anything worthwhile happening around it.

This is a comfort thing, where we get to lead them by the nose, instead of the other way around. I’m going to have bad dreams now, and it won’t be from eating day old hotcross buns.
