There was a meeting in London recently when Oxfam got together a load of people to discuss 'Mugged', their campaign against the plight of poor coffee-farm workers.

Nestle were invited. Who did they send along - a senior manager, or even a coffee expert who could talk about the subject?

Neither. They sent a 'corporate communications officer' to waffle the party line and in doing so, showed their contempt for the subject.
