The best posts in the British blogosphere have been rounded up by Mr Eugenides this week, with a special emphasis on the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
Featured posts include the Sino-Sceptic Beau Bo D’Or cartoon above and a report on the 437 BBC personnel visiting the Beijing Olympics, which compares with 300 British Competitors and “several” politicians and their retinue - comprising:
- Gordon Brown and an expected party in Beijing of 20 staff (£114,000).
- 13 people from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, in preparation for the 2012 London Olympics.
- 11 people from other Departments.
- 39 Metropolitan Police staff to go on a fact-finding tour in Beijing (£240,000).
- 4 Dorset Policeman to learn about policing sailing.
- 6 Greenwich Council Officials (£14,000).
All according to the Telegraph.
That’s all an extra from me. You can find the Britblog Roundup at Mr E’s Taverna.
