And for the Eagle sisters it is merely slogan politics to satisfy their political hinterland.Jonathan Rogers wrote:As Paul says, the ECF speaks only of the wishes of the Eagle sisters. The suggestion is that the ECF should quite naturally jump at the opportunity to satisfy any request by anyone who has acquired the title of minister. But there is no suggestion at all that any extra funding will come our way on account of this, and it is clear that the ministers in question will not be in power this time next year and quite possibly never again at all.
And, as you say, they are very unlikely ever to achieve bottle-washing ministerial rank again, so why should the ECF tickle their chins?
