Both the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown and the leader for the opposition, David Cameron reportedly had their own camera crews brought with them to the remembrance day service on November the 11th at Westminster Abbey in order for them to be shown grieving in 'a good light'. It seems to me that politics gives public relations a bad name. Constantly hyped spin surrounds all political events these days and as a result it seems that nothing can now be taken seriously. It is now seen as commonplace for a campaigning politician to be pictured holding a child or standing with the proletariat in order to show themself as a 'people person'.
I for one am getting completely sick and tired of the constant oneupmanship between the Labour and Tory parties. As each party vies to show itself as better by degrading their opposition through shrewd and petty means. An example of these stupidities is shown in their recent childlike portrayals of the leaders as Jedward.
