Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Surely a chap has the right to make an honest buck from sweated labour .... seems like an excellent investment opportunity to me ... could easily prove to be as profitable as Eir-con if the idea catches on .....
Spot on as usual Sir Anthony .... tell it to them like it is .... time to put those malingerers and ne'er-do-wells in the Joy to some useful work .... should help to straighten them out .....
Private Eye had a piece on how private companies were sponsering fringe meetings at the Labour Party Conference. Someone posted on indymedia UK about this here:
http://indymedia.org.uk/en/2003/09/277733.html
Just to give a few examples from this:
fringe party meetings of Foreign Policy Centre (patron Tony Blair) are sponsored by Nestle.
the Mobile Operators Association sponsor a meeting where environmentminister Alun Michael will be talking about how planning decisions can be speeded up. they are a lobby group keen to get mobile phone masts installed against local opposition.
Health minister Rosie Winterton will be "taking the pulse of the NHS"at a meeting sponsored by BUPA. Superdrug are sponsoring a private breakfast seminar promising senior government individuals by invitation only to discuss "democratising health".
voice your objections on Thursday morning when Charlie McCreevy opens a major conference on Public Private Partnerships. Also in attendance will be PricewaterhouseCoopers, Goodbody stockbrokers, National Treasury Mgt. Agency and the European Investment Bank.

I can't make it to your protest. I see nothing objectionable in these plans.
