Sticking to the facts helps more


Not the right picture: The Rang-tan advert by Greenpeace UK, which focuses on a young girl discovering a baby orang utan in her bedroom after it has been driven out of his forest home, is unashamedly propagandistic and deeply manipulative.

A controversial Greenpeace film about the plight of the orang utan in Indonesia and Malaysia completely ignores the reality on the ground and is actually counter-productive. 

I HATE to have to say this but James Corden and Bill Bailey have allowed themselves to be duped by an unholy combination of NGOs and naïve retailers.
