In what can only be described as the PR coup of the day Peace and Justice heavyweights Gandhi and Luther-King have agreed to help the Conservatives develop an election winning ‘feel good’ strategy. “We’re confident that with Mat and L.K. on the team we can deliver a social justice package that supports our plans for continued economic growth.” said a beaming David Cameron. “Thanks to the generous help from our major donors they’ll be joining Sir Bob Geldof and Zac Goldsmith in creating the dream green ticket.”

Last night Labour were said to be in talks with Bono but a spokesman said, “as Mr Blair has God as his council we can afford to be choosy.”

I jest but if Martin Luther King were alive would he be ‘advising’ a right wing political party on civil rights? I don’t think so. Ghandi wouldn’t recognise this Labour government as having a socialist heart either.

Sadly today’s heroes have been reduced to consultants to help sell the ‘Green Wash’ of political parties and we can only look on with cynical acceptance as the corporations snap up the ethical brands we once thought were beyond their reach.

When President Bush announced following 9/11,”you’re either with us or agin us” I thought how crass and simplistic? Yet as icons like Anita Roddick roll over I’m beginning to wonder just who is on our side?
