I’ve just found a press cutting from last month that I thought was still worthy of a mention.
Last month our fairly new PM, David Cameron took a trip to America to visit their big chief Mr Obama. As is tradition, gifts were exchanged. Mr Cameron decided to give the President a work of art painted by a graffiti artist who had three convictions for criminal damage …not a Banksy though I suspect, they cost way too much. Dave brought gifts for the children too – a pair of Hunter wellies for Obama’s daughters. I’ve no idea what was given in return?
Now I don’t know if Hunter donated the wellies or whether the wellies were put on expenses (no, surely not!) but even if Hunter did donate them it was money well spent. According to a media monitoring company, the media coverage that the girls wellies got was worth something like £40,000 to Hunter. That’d be a rather shrewd investment …imagine how many more girls now want a pair of purple Hunter wellies!
