Don’t miss out on this Stock! Cock!

Did you get one of these emails recently? I’ve been getting them for weeks now. A list of random words probably designed to maximise search engine results and then an offer on shares in a new ‘Petroleum wonder stock’

The string of emotionally significant words that actually don’t amount to anything but trigger a response as sucessfully developed by Mr Bush and more recently taken to new hights by Condoleza Rice seem to have been adopted by email marketers.

Talking of words that go nowhere, I notice that the Conservatives have launched a new initiative “Global Poverty Challenge” and a new website to go with it. The headline reads “David Cameron has set out six big challenges that our country faces. They’re complex, interconnected and require serious long-term thinking. We want to make sure we get these challenges right…” [nice emotive word grouping David]

There a just two links on the Global Poverty Challenge site which, are The Conservatives (working, naturally) and Make Poverty History (dead) The problem it seems is that the MPH site is dot org, NOT dot com. Easy one to miss for Sir Bob who’s going to help the Conservatives get it sorted and credited on the site as being instrumental in the creation of the “Make Poverty History” campaign.

So there, we can trust them to meet the challenge. Anyway wasn’t the MPH campaign designed to run for just 2005? Mmm these boys have their fingers on the pulse!

Anyway I promise to eat my words if this bunch are any better at delivering trade justice than the current bag of ‘Significant Scrabble tm!

NO END TO POVERTY AS RICH COUNTRIES REFUSE TO DELIVER TRADE JUSTICE

 Get Mr Blair to keep true to his promises
