Westminster Correspondents Dinner

Really?  There is such an occasion?  Who knew! And more to the point who pays? does each pay for his/her own. If not is there a whip and do the 'great and the good' get in free because they are so 'great and so good'. Or is it possible the 'great and good' pay because if they don't the Correspondents may make it their business to ensure there is a major avalanche of articles which would otherwise be dismissed as of 'no public interest'?

Sometimes you see a phrase and the mind boggles, these are what used to be Fleet Street hacks dressing up and getting ideas above their ability. All paid for by the MSM media owners who often keep their loot in off shore bank accounts and the politicians who rarely have to bother with such subterfuge and celebrities who know which side their bread is buttered and who butters it.

I have learned to distrust it all.
