Sticks, stones and Sierra Leone

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom government aims to ensure that its actions are reported favorably, and it has sought to achieve this in a number of ways, such as by inviting regional reporters to be photographed with the prime minister. Parliamentary select committees have the task of investigating the actions of government departments. A committee which reported on the dealings of the Foreign Office with Sierra Leone was critical, and it is clear that the government's policy was muddled. The prime minister, Tony Blair, argues that the committee was unfair in its report. The government does not appear able to accept criticism, even from parliament.
