Here is a disheartening example of what one brand/celebrity is facing. [...]

2245 Hrs GMT London Saturday 05 December 2009 Editor © Muhammad Haque KHOODEELAAR! Replaying an external video showing the intolerance of Ken Livingstone at being asked questions about his behaviour. Why are we replaying that video today? For a start, it is never too late to look at the role Ken Livingstone has played in sabotaging universally understood expressions of democracy....

To the Irish Embassy for their annual Christmas bash. Over the excellent canapes and fine stout (as an old-fashioned BBC man I can't name the brand) I had a good chat with Ken Livingstone. I had heard a year ago that Mr Livingstone was telling friends that he would definitely oppose Boris Johnson for London mayor in 2012, and that if Labour wouldn't have him as their candidate, then...

There was a certain degree of solidity in the selections of the early part of the day, but one later selection in particular was to be seen as pure folly as events transpired. Charlie Egerton has Dr. Livingstone in his care and in his twelve run career on the level, managed to eke out two victories [...]

It's like when Stanley met Livingstone...if they were gigantic idiots. But hey, they both hate the Japanese, so there's that.

Today’s Plenary Session on transport with Boris and Peter Hendy in the chairs was entertaining if not particularly enlightening. In no particular order: 1. Legacy and congestion charge Val Shawcross asked what transport legacy Boris would leave. We got a long rah-rah speech about a number of rebranded Livingstone initiatives followed by the old bendy bus stump [...]

... inexplicably popular dirge could have been written about the early explorers such as Stanley and Livingstone, portrayed by history as lone adventurers, but as detailed in new research from Royal Holloway, utterly depended on locals to negotiate safe passage, sort out food, and most of all, carry stuff. The university is highlighting the role of indigenous people – including women and...

Nineteenth-century heroes would have been nothing without the local guides who largely ran their expeditions Even the most intrepid of early explorers tended not to venture forth entirely on their lonesome – not if they wanted to come back in one piece, that is. When Stanley and Livingstone finally met in the middle of the African continent, both would have been utterly reliant for their...

... With this level of government intervention - unimaginable in the days of old "Red" Ken Livingstone's GLC - I would suggest that a comprehensive UK strategy for enterprise and industry is required at the present time more than at any other since the end of World War II.
