David Cameron and his vanity staff!!

There are claims that British Prime Minister David Cameron used the announcement of the royal wedding to bury the "bad news" that his personal photographer and his wife's stylist would not be going on the government payroll after all. I don't believe these claims at all but the proposed appointments did show an unhealthy interest in media management. Well, at least we have got the new term "vanity staff" in the UK political language.

What is perhaps more worrying is the pressure on the BBC to delay a Panorama programme on the World Cup bidding process because it would annoy FIFA. I think the
BBC's independence should be cherished more than winning the right to host the
World Cup.
