		<description><![CDATA[This is what is known as a junket. An opportunity for quango and government types to travel, spend money, and justify it with some photo opps that they then spin out to their local media as a way of saying &#039;look how important this all was&#039;.

AND speaking of wheezes, what can our Premier and Dame Jennifer be doing that is remotely important to this island in Rome this week?]]></description>
