How not to conduct a Ministerial visit

August 21st, 2010 · 4 Comments · Uncategorized

These things are not supposed to happen in modern politics. If a Minister goes to visit a project it is usually squeaky clean with no bad news hidden about it. It seems someone in British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg’s office didn’t do their homework. Oops

Malcolm Tucker (The Press Guru in the The Thick of It) would be cursing very loudly yesterday.

    As someone who can’t stand the Cleggon government, I just loved that… was some gremlin in Tory HQ responsible for this one. Can only imagine the glee on Mandy’s face too!

    Priceless. He looked ready to explode while walking to the car. What a nightmare.

    Top Tucker moment alright. Good to see Paraic O’Brien this side of the sea again, old college mate.

    Pretty embarrassing but it wasn’t as bad as the Gordon Brown incident during the election campaign. Where have all the good PR people gone?
