Political posturing

TIME and time again we hear from all Governments about cost-cutting ,but yet this week leaders from more than 20 countries met in London at the G20 Summit at a cost of millions of to the host government.

Then yesterday, there another major meeting in Strasbourg of the Nato powers. These meetings are purely posturing by the political elite pandering to their respective audiences when the decisions are already made in quiet rooms. Surely these meetings can be held via visual links and save us this whole sorry spectacle.
