With a little help from your friends (BBC, city bankers and the UK government)
So, your campaign is in the doldrums, the polls are looking bad and your public face is Alistair Darling. What to do? Bring in the brand consultants and see what they suggest.
The brand consultants identify the fact that your No campaign has a severe lack of activists and struggles to have a grassroot never mind grassroots.
The brand consultants suggest they can solve your problems by creating a grassroots campaign for you. They'll stick £400,000 in the bank, get some youngsters to sing an awful song, set up and run a campaign website and to top it all off get the BBC to promote it heavily.
"... and I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!"
We are being quite flippant in our treatment of this story because, frankly, it sounds like the script from a straight to video "C" movie or maybe an episode of Scooby-Doo. However, the implications and the players involved in this propaganda attempt are very serious as Craig Murray and WingsOverScotland make clear.
Please read the blogs linked above and as Craig says:
"I ask every single person who reads this to do what they can do to get this news out – it may open eyes about the BBC, media in general and the hidden hands behind the No campaign."
We just don't seem to be able to escape from maritime metaphors. First, we had sinking, then boats and now the Doldrums.
