Citing a famous Russian Meerkat amongst his 1000 clients, Big Beast of the PR jungle Lord (Tim) Bell of Belgravia put a couple of lesser creatures firmly in their places on this week's Radio 4 "The Bottom Line" programme, repeated at 5.30pm today for anyone who didn't catch it.Needless to say, the accompanying squabble amongst the programme guests was worthy of a group of meerkats.
Lord Bell distinguished public relations, no doubt another of the world's oldest professions, from the kind of spin practiced by people like Alastair Campbell (see my previous post). His firm, Chime Communications, advises the government of Iraq and will, I strongly suspect, be amongst the beneficiaries of Regime Change closer to home.
