Alan Johnson, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and now, apparently, teeny-boppers too, will today wow the Lord Mayor’s banquet by calling on business to indulge in “Sgt Pepper economics”.
Daddy-O Johnson explains:
“If the Beatles had carried on producing albums like Please Please Me, they’d have ended up with a dwindling catalogue, dwindling sales and a dwindling audience,”
Presumably this means that businesses should relocate to India and take a load of LSD, before breaking up the company to concentrate on solo projects? I would love to know which poor DTI staffer has to write this nonsense and will happily supply the culprit with a bottle of medium price wine should they have the courage to come forward to the below e-mail address.
Meanwhile, here’s Alan explaining to the kids how productivity can be increased through listening to the hits of Shawoddywoddy.

Trade Secretary Alan Johnson is using a Mansion House speech today to call for “Sgt Pepper economics”.
Between this, the cloud of jazz smoke clearly involved in the Budget preparation, and Bono’s arselicking of “the Lennon & McCartney of politics”, it can’t be long before the Cabinet starts wearing some ill-advised kipper ties, growing questionable moustaches and letting Cherie sit on a stool in COBRA meetings screaming into her own special microphone.
Rumours that Ruth Kelly has been signed up to voice future episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine are as yet unconfirmed.
