How the Government's press machine works

Sniffing around on the distinctly useful The Government Says website, I spotted a link called 'New armoured vehicles join the Army'. I'm always interested in what new tanks and the like look like, but imagine my disappointment (as the old cliche goes) that photos of armoured vehicles were there none, but it does offer a downloadable photograph of Lord Drayson, Minister for Defence Procurement. Is there a journalist, anywhere, who would think that Paul Rudd Drayson, Baron Drayson is the story and not the vehicles?

I found pictures of the vehicles elsewhere, if anyone's interested. (Dodgy link fixed)

I rather liked the fact that the AFV's had designations beginning 'chav'. Maybe they do a Burberry model.
