Letter - Politicisation is just a reality - deal with it

I am delighted to see that after years of grumbling against the realities of life, Mike Granatt now accepts that people in charge of organisations want comms professionals they can trust ('Govt comms staff now feel nervous,' 6 October).

/ October 20, 2006

'Twas ever thus, Mike - in politics, in business and in government. It's about competence and chemistry. GICS people were always obsessed by politicisation. Don't waste your time worrying about it. Regime change means regime change. No more, no less.

Hugh Colver, chief of PR 1987-1992, Ministry of Defence.
