Article in the Independent on Sunday about the launch of "The People's Assembly": http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/how-the-peoples-assembly-can-challenge-our-suffocating-political-consensus--and-why-its-vital-that-we-do-8547507.html
Did the founders of this organisation seek any advice on branding before rushing into operation?
"The People's Assembly" is classic Blairite branding, along with "The People's Party" (Blair 2nd October 1996) and "The People's Princess" (Blair 31st August 1997).
And once the word association starts one is tempted to add The People's War In Iraq, The People's Maxed-Out Credit Card and The People's Economic Fiasco.
I'm afraid The People's Assembly is dead in the water with a name like that.
UPDATE 25TH MARCH
According to Labour activist Matthew Reilly one of the MPs involved in The People's Assembly (Katy Clark MP) is being booed by the Occupy Movement which is supposed to be one of the constituent groups making up The People's Assembly.
Is the Left eating itself?
