As if Jesse hasn't pimped folks enough on this side of the pond...
Jesse Jackson is going to the UK to "galvanize" the black and Asian voter base for the upcoming May 5 general election.
Reverend Jesse Jackson joins forces with Operation Black Vote (OBV) to galvanise the powerful BME electorate in the run up to the widely anticipated May 5th General Election.I guess since his face-time has diminished on this side of the Atlantic, he's trying the other side. And of course, since the British press will give attention to anyone who is against the current American administration, they'll be happy to oblige Jackson. Posted by mhking at March 8, 2005 02:27 PMEntitled, The Politics of Power, Reverend Jesse Jackson will deliver his keynote address to a thousand strong audience at 6.45pm on Wednesday 9th March at Friends Meeting House, 173 Euston Road, NW1 2BJ.
Ugggh!!

Will happily get into relative merits of British press vs US press but gotta say am impressed that the link provided led me to the British Students Union website.
Posted by: Nick Saunders at March 9, 2005 06:40 PMI try to read a bit of everything, Nick; and I certainly don't limit my sources to one side or the other. I'm not always successful, but I aim to please.
Thanks!
