Kudos to British Foreign Secretary David Miliband for calling Germany out on its sexist gifts to delegations at the NATO summit in France:
The German government are taking every opportunity to fight the downturn. The large box in my (French) hotel room at the NATO summit was a Bosch drill (with extra drill bits). But traditions die hard: women Foreign Ministers were given a Leica camera.
Better than DVDs that don’t work, I suppose.
