Blair's Brand
by Graham Davies
Tony Blair has spent the last few days devaluing his Personal Presentational Brand. I say this even though his autobiography may boost his professional speaking fees to beyond the merely stratospheric.
Of course, the thing that the punters in Waterstones want to see is one politician making bitter personal attacks on other politicians, preferably long-term friends and allies. Tony has been happy to oblige. This tells you more about him than the people he has targeted.
He has launched an assault on Brown et al, not because he wants to put the record straight for the good of the country, but because he wants to sell a few more books.
He may be the most expensive speaker on the planet, but he is looking cheaper by the day.

For once in my life, I entirely agree with you! I shall not be buying his book.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's this all about donating all the oney to charity - he claims its not gult money? Rubbish, It is guilt money. He canblame Brown all he wants. Bottom line, this country is in trouble. Imagine the amount of money we could have saved by not killing innocent people abroad and devastating the families of several of our troops here in the UK? IF we saved Billions of pounds and lives perhaps we wouldn't be in the dire situation we are in now. He had books and eggs thrown at him... that's why he cancelled the book signing in the UK...why not WMD's instead... oh and where are they?
ReplyDeleteWaterstones should be ashamed of even advertising his book.
