Stick to Sarbox Ed!

TS’s scores of dedicated fans will recall recent musings about why the good people at ACCA had taken it upon themselves to issue press releases on what seemed anything and everything but accountancy.
Well, Ed Balls, the economic secretary to the Treasury and chancellor in waiting, trumped ACCA last week when he decided to spread his views on Big Brother.

Not satisfied with lunching in the Square Mile, Balls went for the spotlight by commenting on the controversial reality show: ‘This is not simply a piece of fun ­ this is a problem,’ Balls philosophised of the alleged racism suffered by Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty at the hands Jade Goody.
Thanks for your views Ed, it was no doubt a good opportunity to rack up some column inches.
In the future, though, maybe it will better to stick to things like Sarbox and the capital markets.
