We are often asked in our courses how to handle people who keep asking difficult or unwanted questions during a presentation and although heckling tends to be more normal for stand-up comedy it seems even Bishops have to handle it too.
During a sermon by the first openly gay Bishop a heckler came in and started ‘making himself heard’, how did the congregation handle it? With a hymn!
Read about it on the Beeb’s site here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7504570.stm
Not sure it would work for an AGM though…

Primark. The killer questions. (from the comfort of the microsite..)
Interesting tack from Primark in their response to the recent 'revelation' of their use of child labour.
Rather than agree to any interviews with Panorama for their programme on the subject - through fear of bias - Primark instead set up a micro site to speak to comsumers 'directly'.
According to PRWeek "A journalist was brought in to put unscripted questions to Primark director Breege O'Donoghue and the footage was posted on its site at 9pm on Monday, the same time as the BBC documentary was screened."

So was this smart handling of such a delicate issue? Or just a cowardly move by an organisation that clearly knew they were in the wrong...?
