The king is dead. Long live the king!

Looks like we have a new "TV Licensing(TM) spokesman for the North of England". Let's hear it for Tim Downs, Head of PR at the Leeds firm Brass (previously Brahm and swamp), mentioned in my previous post.

You'll remember that the previous holder of the title, Phil Reed, famously admitted to lying in the interests of his client, and assured us all he would do so again. Now he's been replaced. Proof, if any were needed, that telling the truth can get you into loads of trouble.

What a murky world we live in.
