Chris Smith to chair EA
So there's a nice new name to write to . Trouble is he will probably just refer it to someone else who will refer it to Ms McKeever........

From their own puff sheet.....
As Chair of the Environment Agency, he will receive £102,000 per year for a time commitment of approximately 3 days per week.
You can get just over six Lock Keepers (FULL TIME!) for that sort of money..............

My mistake, I normally trust my memory over Wikipedia, but today I lost!
Still not keen on his appointment, the face is the same regardless of his previous jobs!

A highly underwhelming C.V then.
I suspect we will see another catalogue of disasterous decisions and futile drivel spewing forth in true Labour fashion.
He seems to have failed in most respects, including his involvement with the messy confusion over the National Lottery licence, the financial problem of the Royal Opera House, the failed plans for a new national stadium at Wembley and the troubled saga of the Millennium Dome, while he was 'Culture secretary' under Bliar.
I notice he's HIV positive, so it's not all bad news then.
FFS, the EA must be scraping a very empty barrel

Dont get too excited just yet. He is the new Chairman and not the replacement for Barbara Young who was the Chief Exec. She has been temporarily replaced pending the appointment of a new Chief Exec who is being sought.
Anyone fancy the job?

Anyone who does that job three days a week for £102K is a thief.
That counts me out

A few google's shows that he is/was an advisor to the Walt Disney Company. (Inside I'm laughing a lot!)

Much work still remains to be done before I can announce my total failure to make any progress
