    And as usual we will never be told the results of the meetings or the cost to us of the delegations visit.

      The team flew over in first class, and are staying in the best hotel available in London. All meals and drinks are on the Govt Mastercard, and there is plenty of time for shopping. The meeting is so high profile that none of the English newspapers have referred to it.
