Hague travels Barclays style

Who says those Tories don’t feel your pain…

From The Daily Mail::

William Hague is facing awkward questions about his judgment after he joined a lavish Italian trip for Barclays executives on a black day for global markets.

He spent Friday on the sunny shores of Lake Como, on the final day of a luxury break organised by the hard-pressed bank’s private wealth division.

While he enjoyed the balmy surroundings of one of Europe’s most expensive hotels, where rooms can cost £1,000 a night, markets in London and America went into freefall.

And yeah, that was a Daily Fail link.

And ZaNuLab politicians have never accepted junket, I suppose? Hello – calling John Prescott … or the gurning jackanapes Blair and his postbox-mouthed missus …. Trying growing up.

No one claimed that.

This is not a New Labour (or ZaNuLab) blog.

Are you defending Mr. Hague’s junket? Do you not think such extravagance is, maybe, a little poorly timed?
