Perhaps not the shorter ratchet clicking but the longer term wheel turning? In Roman times it was Bread and Circuses to placate the mob. Now it's Brains and Celebrities.
There are some very clever and productive scientists in other countries that I would welcome in Britain to boost our 'white heat of technology'. People with attractive faces or big... not so much.
Presumably only the rich will be able to afford tickets for the hydrogen-powered airliners which will be invented by the eminent scientists.
As long as they pay tax here, they can do what they like, I won't be interested in what they do anyway!
Beyonce and "the arts" that's stretching it a bit...
DJ - I'd welcome some of those very clever and productive scientists too, plus plenty of engineers who know how to build proper power stations.
Sam - something like that, although senior climate bureaucrats are likely to be included too. And BBC "journalists".
Scrobs - it's a sound approach. They have nothing too say to us.
MrMC - I agree. From what little I've seen it's a huge stretch.
