There seems to b...Welcome the the blog, Tarquin. <br /><br />There seems to be a dearth of information as to the cost implications - the <a href="http://nds.coi.gov.uk/Content/Detail.aspx?NewsAreaId=2&ReleaseID=405812&SubjectId=2" rel="nofollow">DoH press release</a> on the subject is silent on the issue. I think we can take it for granted, however, that (like any organisation) Government can do nothing for no cost. Even if the celebs are unpaid, there is a civil servant somewhere organising this shindig.<br /><br />As for whether Ms Snowdon is qualified for a government position, one could equally ask why Mandelson is in the Cabinet. Or <a href="http://thepatentlyblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/illegitemate-prime-minister.html" rel="nofollow">why Gordon</a> is in No: 10, for that matter. <br /><br />Bill - keep them coming, and plug away!<br /><br />YMB - I think not. I suspect that a mental health advisor will turn up to order us to accept voluntary treatment. <br /><br />Blue - ooops, I only had four yesterday. Do I need to have six today?<br /><br />Julia, CF - thanks!patentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602962323262055007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-52638238622706855942009-08-18T23:32:35.814+01:002009-08-18T23:32:35.814+01:00Can I ask are they being paid? - Lisa Snowdown in ...Can I ask are they being paid? - Lisa Snowdown in particular, as she was merely a contestant on a dance show - does that qualify someone for a government position?<br /><br />These idiots are wasting our money on publicity stuntsTarquinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06499205669112240463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-53693257202112043532009-08-14T17:06:30.844+01:002009-08-14T17:06:30.844+01:00"Gordon's last-but-one desperate attempt ...<i>"Gordon's last-but-one desperate attempt to slur the Tories was to label them the "Do-nothing Party".
