Sounds...mercenary...but I think it might not be a bad idea?

Who to contact and how?

Davina
Fern Britton
Kate Winslet
The Beckhams

who else? C&P with your own suggestions maybe? And if you know how to contact anyone on this list...please do, there's a love

I know Jeremy Clarkson can be a bit of a you know what, but I reckon he would like something like this too, he really gets his teeth into things that are unfair and that he can gripe about..

How about Kate Moss?? Look how well she has done after all her troubles

Naughtynoonoo · 09/08/2006 17:45

Another backer of GMTV, you probably would get nationwide backing then.

Alibaldi · 09/08/2006 17:36

Somehow think probably need more of a miracle

handlemecarefully · 09/08/2006 17:33

Hmmmmmm....

Good luck

Okay found an email for Matrix Chambers let's see what we can do!!!! My mum's school had a motto "not failure but low aim is crime". So let's start at the top and see what we mums can achieve.

Tony's having to do a bit of work, so she ought to do her share!

Alibaldi · 09/08/2006 17:24

I'm going to email Booth's (Blairs office) she's always winning these cases. And she does pro bono (i.e. free) Nothing ventured nothing gained and anyway, 'bout time the Government protected Civil Liberties isn't it.

dizzybint · 09/08/2006 17:04

i was just going to say cherie blair. human rights and all that.

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 09/08/2006 16:38

she's in barbados though isn't she?

Mind you, had it not been silly season when they're alla way, we may not have got the coverage so......

Alibaldi · 09/08/2006 16:37

Never thought I'd be saying this but what about Cherie Blair. She's a human rights lawyer who does pro bono work. We've had our freedom of expression infringed. She's also a mother and well likes a good cause

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 09/08/2006 16:36

India Knight already e-mailed a reply to someone

Dawn french? jennifer Saunders?

Fimbo · 09/08/2006 16:35

I could just see Richard Madeley getting his teeth into this.

SaintGeorge · 09/08/2006 16:34

Mr Cameron is on a yacht somewhere so doubt any significant reply from his camp.

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 09/08/2006 16:33

Did anyone ever get a reply from Mr cameron?

NomDePlume · 09/08/2006 16:30

I think Rachel, Justine et al have been on This Morning, so Fern will have already met them. Maybe a positive in gaining her support.

What about Richard and Judy ? They love a bit of power to the people type stuff.

Fimbo · 09/08/2006 16:27

Please note: Phil regrets that he cannot pass messages on to, or supply information about, his wife, Fern Britton. If you wish to contact Fern its best done through Fern?s agent Mr John Rush. [email protected]

Managed to find the above from Phil Vickery's website - anyone want to contact Fern?

cupcakes · 09/08/2006 16:24

Not sure about Jools Oliver - in her book she seems to adore nobody. Or at least nobody's methods.

suzywong · 09/08/2006 16:18

Jenny Eclair

She's a gobshite and a good laugh, she would HATE the idea of being told to shut up about anything

lillabean · 09/08/2006 16:09

maybe a comedienne?

they tend to be piqued by issues of free speech.
(i.e. Rowan Akinson's crusade against limits on religious free speech in relation to art/comedy)

Maybe a mom like Tasmin Greig, (Greenwing, The Archers) she is a mom to three.

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 09/08/2006 15:31

Apparently Boris Johnson sympathises but is away- or do his office says

made me anyway

LIZS · 09/08/2006 15:29

was wondering this too. Fiona Phillips and Kate Garraway spring to mind from GMTV and is Andrea the weathergirl pg ?

suzywong · 09/08/2006 15:26

we can't contact the beckhams or madonna, there have been one or two snipey comments about them here

Orlando · 09/08/2006 15:26

India Knight

(though we've caned her in the past here too. The thinking seems to be that she visits, iirc.)
