Pre-Budget report
I responded to an invitation to get a media pack 24 hours before the pre-budget report.
After a few days, this was the message from the Treasury….
“Dear Alan
Unfortunately this year we are in high demand of media packs and we have a limited order, so will not be able to send out any more to organisations outside of national newspapers and broadcast “
Can we really trust the dunderheads at the treasury who can’t even add up the number of media packs it needs?
