I was at the National Curry Chef of the Year competition in Bournemouth.


My then-client forced me to phone BBC Asia and see if they were going to cover the curry chef story anyway (under pain of sacking). I was fairly junior in my PR career at the time and naively did what she asked. While everything was going on in New York, India and Pakistan were amassing troops (and I think something nuclear) on the Kashmiri border.


The journalist I spoke to was kind but genuinely appalled, and asked me if I didn't realise that the world was never going to be the same again. I realised he was right and so anaesthetised myself with gin, and lost the client anyway.

    • Try and read before commenting Sep, or you will, as you have done, not be relevant
    • if anyone believes Reform is a party they can trust then they really don't need to be insulted by me - they are doing all the damage themselves If people don't like the state the country is in they should question why Farage fought for Brexit and why it continues to damage the country so much. He and you will splutter it wasn't done properly but if you can't see the contradictions I can't help you
    • It's not incredibly difficult to understand that people vote Reform because they don't want the Tories back and they don't like Labour and they don't like the state the country is in. It hardly makes them "criminally negligent" - in fact, Sepiroth,  you can just stop insulting people just because you don't like what they have to say - it doesn't really add to your credibility. While Sep says "What the country needs is a serious, mature electorate", what the country REALLY needs is a party that we can trust - and that we do not have.  There is no point at all in having a serious and mature electorate if we don't have a serious and mature party to get vote for.
    • mine's the same - use shears, then mow, but I only do a part of the lawn - the rest is covered in daisies, violets and other flowers, so I leave it. I have to be very careful though - we have slow worms
