Private Email?
by Graham Davies

E mails are a seductive weapon. They are easy to write and even easier to send.

Unfortunately, once you have sent one , you can't take it back. As a former adviser to the PM was telling me recently.

You Tube has ensured that the presentational mistakes of politicians and celebrities will long outlive them. But you don't have to have a high profile to fall foul of the sheer longevity of cyber-communication.

So...take my advice: when you write an email, assume that the 10 people in the world that you would least like to see it, will see it.

Once you have mastered this, you can then work for Gordon Brown.
