Last Clean Shirt

Managed hopefully not to look too hungover on the Daily Politics, shirt was last clean one.

Half the conference is leaving Manchester to beat the rush and watch the leaders speech on TV back home, the queues began an hour ago for the hall.  Guido will be staying back late to avoid the herd…

        Don’t get the wrong train! I did that once, when the twits at Crew station had changed platforms but helpfully forgot to tell the passengers…

    I’ve been disappointed by Guido’s blog this week. I’ve been coming here for a while, and I remember Guido telling us he is anti-politics, he has claimed to be against all politicians. I welcomed that, but it turns out to be a lie. This week’s blogging exposes Guido as a Tory supporter. I’ll be looking for another less partial source of anti-politician gossip.

    More buzz around Cameron’s speech than there was for Brown last week in “Dullston”, a much more cheery gathering.

      hmm… that buzz has been caused by crackcocaine.

        Suppose that explains the lack of buzz last week.

    Who on earth cares what you do? Bloggers, media, all misrepresent what is said in speeches at party conferences, highlight trivialities. Okay, you, Guido, have occasionally drawn attention to scandals that need addressing, but that doesn’t exempt you from the puerile attitude of most. Honestly, I watch the whole conferences and sometimes wonder if commentators have watched the same conference that I did.

    Brown's a Tosser says:

    I have to say I liked the speech from Cameron and thought the tone was right for the occasion and for the position we find ourselves in. Moreover, he comes across so much better than Brown and you feel like you want to believe him rather than with Brown where you feel everything he says is a lie.

John Higginson of the Metro explains Quantitative Easing:

“There is £100 and 100 loaves of bread costing £1 each. QE creates another £100. Each loaf now costs £2.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
