What the point of flying around the world to do that ? Either go on a holiday at the taxpapers expense or do some actual meetings with observable outcomes. This is neither one thing or the other.

No doubt John O'Donoghue has done his fair share of sanctimonious anti-imperialism-amusing to hear his staff talk as if they should be fully equipped with baggy shorts, pith helmet and Sam Browne belt.

They said so many had requested the documents they would give me a copy for free. My trips to London this year were not holidays, as I said at the time... :-) WDTK was one thing that was touched on several times. The department opted to give me the info for nothing, not under FOI.
