I’m so sick of having to wake up and hear what the Orange Narcissist has to say about everything. This is why he loves international conflict it’s an the ultimate attention flex

Seeing two people who's opinions I really rate talk past each other on LinkedIn is sad. Like seeing mum and dad fight over passing the ketchup. Some (all) debates are better had down the pub

Did you see all those hilarious photo stills of him looking serious on the weekend news while saying 'British planes were in the air' followed by 'we're not actually joining in this'. The man is the ultimate fence-sitter. Do. Or do not.

No it’s because I blocked him. Did him a favour really

He has form for this kind of thing. I politely engaged with him last time he went off on one and he then DMd me to ask if he could do some freelance for BDB! Haha. Keep those bridges burning eh

He’s still going on. Never blocked someone on LinkedIn before might be time

Careful, the fun police are at large on LinkedIn & they’re coming for your half-baked opinions on their chosen Profession. The silly sausages

You must have been there! Yes he said the effectiveness era is over and now it’s the era of advocommunity (something like that but I’d stopped listening by that point)

Sounds like half the marketing thought leaders on LinkedIn.

Heard one of them say “being effective is no longer enough’ last week.

Ticket inspector just came up to a family on this train. 'How old are the kids?'. 'erm... 2 and 4'.

oldest kid: 'no I'm not, I'm 5....' Damn 😆. Been there before

the cognitive dissonance to deride your party's time in power & immigration record when you were *checks notes* home secretary is quite something.

all the idiots in one place now. whatever is left of the Tories much more palatable as a result

5 years later, we look him up and he's Global Head of Strategy for a Big Network. Talent played the tiniest role in that pathway imaginable...

@scm.bsky.social and I worked used to with a media planner for whom every single brief was answered with the same platform "communicate the USP to the target audience at the right time'. I'm not even subbing the words 'USP', 'audience' or 'time', it was verbatim the same 10 words over and over

She’s hit on some half decent themes recently. Maybe Reform will force the tories to tack back towards the centre ground to differentiate

With lines like this left hanging around in applications, what is the point of asking people anything

'If you want, next we can tighten any of these depending on whether you want to sound more strategist or more culture head, but honestly this already fits what BDB are actually looking for'

I thought I’d seen all the ‘strategist read a book’ slides but caught a new one this week.

I hear his book and podcast are both very popular with people who don’t work in a serious business

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

It's not a grassroots working class movement.

"Wherever we looked for prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler."
