The most important way in is through personal contacts, which seem to be missing here.  I had a good network back in the US of Arsch, but even if those contacts were still live, wouldn't help here.

So who has direct contacts?

I don't know anyone who would be relevant to publicising this particular subject, but I will certainly email it to some influentials on my list. Most of them will not have even thought about Blair as EU President - it hasn't had much coverage in Finland. But it's well worth trying to make them aware of it. There are some Finnish politicians who might take Stop Blair on, because it is a simple subject that might resonate with their audience, and not have any real downside.

If the renewed UK push for Blair had happened before the EU elections, it would have had very wide resonance in Finland in that election context. Now it is a 'slow' subject, but, who knows, it might become 'hot' and we'll be ready.

Personal contacts would not be so much for a blanket press release, but they could be more important - so anyone who has personal contact(s) and is willing to use them, please say so (without needing to give contact details).

Contacts would be nice indeed... but I don't have any. But bad experiences with some local editors, that I have, from two occasions of attempting to contact the media: at the time students protested the introduction of tuition fees, and the time of the Iraq War.
