The Media Group, a specialist broadcast agency, kicked off the
Christmas party season with a shindig in Vauxhall adjacent to the MI5
building.
Celebrity guests included ex-Blue Peter presenters John Leslie and Tim
Vincent, Gladiators Hunter and Rhino, and sports presenter Des
Lynam.
Clearly intent on drawing maximum attention to itself, the Media Group
beamed a huge ’M’ on to the MI5 building. Whether this was a wise move
will become apparent because the secret service is certain to have them
under surveillance after seeing some of the dubious characters hanging
around the entrance.
On the night in question Vauxhall was invaded with transvestites, fire
eaters and buskers, all hired by the Media Group to spice up the
party.
PR people from Consolidated Communications, Hill and Knowlton and
Shandwick were also spotted lurking around.
The Media Group could also be facing scrutiny from outside MI5. The
fraud squad may be interested in its invitation’s boast of ’unlimited
credit’ at the free bar after several disgruntled revellers were seen
leaving having been asked to (shock, horror!) pay for gin and tonics.
