 | 'Three old party warhorses, David Steel, Neil Kinnock, and Chris Patten, extolled the virtues of PR on BBC Radio Four's Any Questions last weekend. Lord Kinnock even told us he had been in favour of it for the past quarter of a century. Pity he didn't tell us when he had an opportunity to do something about it.' Alf Young in the Herald, 7 th May 2005. |  |
