Ads aren't all bad, Gordon   

So advertising got a mention in Gordon Brown's speech to conference. For those of you who switched sides after the first five minutes, the Prime Minister said 'there are new pressures on parents - worrying about balancing work and family life but also about advertising aimed straight at their children and what their children are watching or downloading'.

This should send a chill down the spine of marketers. The narrative has changed from a focus on junk food ads to all advertising targeted at children. Despite industry efforts to promote the positive power of advertising the message doesn't seem to be getting through at the top.

I missed that but I think that;s a very good point and rather worrying.

I must have been too busy with the sick bag after he was going on about little old ladies and sick children and whatnot.

And how many more times is he going to try and elicit sympathy about losing sight in one eye. Still, in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is indeed king...

What a wally. But it doesn't matter what he says seeing as he'll be out of power very very soon.

He's in office but out of power as it is. And what about all that nonsense about positioning his wife as a publicity-shy ordinary woman who doesn't eant to be in the spotlight? She used to work in PR for God's sake.

And as for not wanting to use his kids as 'props', he's more than happy to use his wife as one.

Dreadful.

Good point give us more of the vomit inducing Cameron and his missus act on the beach, worse than Kinnock the movie. She's got a tattoo and shops at primark (for Dave as well) that's all very "real" for the eldest daughter of Sir Reginald Berkeley Sheffield, 8th Baronet and Old Etonian landowner. No spin spun there.

Nice one Tom, I agree entirely. Cameron is the biggest spinner in Westminster.

I used to spend £££££££'s in Smythsons, but will not set foot in the place now I know that my £££££££'s are going into the Cameron mansion. What are her qualifications by the way? The Daily Hate, never stinting in its admiration of 'lovely and stylish Sam Cam', is always plugging her and her employer.
