The government is looking for new advisers. They will pay loads of money to right candidates. No experience is required but successful applicants must display limited commonsense. An inability to have a firm grip on reality is a distinct advantage.
Recently appointed candidates have already shown these qualities:
Lord Turner (Gordon Brown's new climate change "tsar"):
"If the wind dynamics work, why couldn't you put turbines every 300 yards up the central reservation of the motorway - where you have already produced a visual intrusion already?Absolutely! Let's have some real M-way carnage, not this pathetic nonsense:

"Office workers should be allowed to shed their suits and ties and adopt lightweight informal clothing to help cut carbon dioxide emissions. He believes forcing men to wear suits and women to wear smart skirts raises demand for air-conditioning and discourages them from using sustainable forms of transport such as walking and cycling."http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article3512041.eceYes, we want more half-witted people to advise us. We do express caution, however. Successful candidates must be so dim that their ideas cannot be refuted by real science, as this one was:
"Scientists and environmentalists have attacked a global campaign to ban plastic bags which they say is based on flawed science and exaggerated claims. The widely stated accusation that the bags kill 100,000 animals and a million seabirds every year are false, experts have told The Times. They pose only a minimal threat to most marine species, including seals, whales, dolphins and seabirds. Gordon Brown announced last month that he would force supermarkets to charge for the bags. But scientists, politicians and marine experts attacked the Government for joining a “bandwagon” based on poor science. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article3508263.ece
We do NOT accept applications from people who can think for themselves, as they can create friction within the ranks:
The rush towards biofuels is threatening world food production and the lives of billions of people, the Government’s Chief Scientific Adviser said yesterday. Professor John Beddington put himself at odds with ministers who have committed Britain to large increases in the use of biofuels over the coming decades.http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article3500954.eceFinally please note this link. This describes the work of a candidate who we would not,
under any circumstances, employ. Intelligence and openmindedness are NOT permissible.
