I come from a land that just proved you don’t have to be white and old to be president; where my diploma was signed by The Terminator (I studied at UCLA in my home state of California), and where basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson has just been named 'spokesperson and business partner' for major tax company Jackson Hewitt Tax Service.
Magic will aide the business by finding appropriate candidates to own franchises in markets across the States, and by starring in promotional material.
It warms my heart to know that the 6’9” LA Lakers legend will be gracing American television, not just on sports channel ESPN but on ad spots all over, giving pointers to sell quite a different game.
While it might seem a tad ridiculous here on the other side of the pond, I look at the faces of taxation in this country - Moira Stuart and her predecessor, Adam-Hart-Davis - and I think: wouldn’t you rather be told all this stuff by an Olympic gold medal winner who can almost fly?
