I suggest it will be more a model of how not to let "national treasures"
drive policies. Joanna Lumley stitched up Ministers so thoroughly over
letting gurkhas come to the UK[1] that I don't blame them from heading

I'd love to know who actually thinks she's a national treasure. She's a
competant actress with a posh accent who used to be quite pretty half a century
ago, thats pretty much all there is to her.

With the ghurkas thing the government at the time should have just grown a
pair and made it clear that the gurhkas knew exactly what they were signing
up for when they joined and residency in the uk wasn't on the list.
