He may not like Mondays - but he ruddy loves Kent TV

Monkey's press release of the week goes to local internet broadcaster Kent TV. The release kicks off breathlessly: "Sir Bob Geldof has strongly backed Kent TV, describing the new internet TV station as a vital public service and far ahead of anything similar in Europe." Really? Go on. "The former rock star now engaged in fighting poverty in the developing world spoke passionately about Kent TV and urged more local newspapers in Kent to praise Kent County Council for supporting such an innovative project." Well that's nice of Sir Bob isn't it? Except er ... here it is in the third paragraph - Kent TV is, of course, run by Ten Alps, of which the press release admits Sir Bob is a director. Kent TV says it now has a "significant and loyal web presence ... over 250 separate films have been uploaded on to the site by members of the public, many of them young people". Apparently Sir Bob revealed his thoughts on how "vital [a] public service" Kent TV is in an "exclusive interview" with er ... Kent TV. Monkey was unable to confirm whether Geldof went on to urge Kent TV viewers to "give us your money".
