Some broadsheet newspapers in Britain earlier this week carried a large advertisement featuring a photograph of Tony Blair with the words: We would like to share a thought with Mr Blair: The only way to have a friend, is to be one. First thoughts suggested that this ad. must be somehow connected with Mr and Mrs Blair's current troubles perhaps a reminder from Cherie's style advisor Carole Caplin that she should not be thrown to the media wolves under pressure from Alastair Campbell. But closer examination showed that it had been placed by a consortium of Turkish business interests in order to draw attention to the merits of Turkey's case for membership of the European Union which is being considered at an EU summit in Copenhagen today.
