Speech, But No Drama

Why are these things distributed in advance to the media, anyway? If they want to know what the Prime Minister has to say, then they should turn up and listen to his speech. It is high time that they were put in their place, and this would be a very good place to start.

"I'll never join the euro," said Cameron. The donkeys duly nodded and brayed their approval. But Gordon Brown decided that one a long time ago, Dave. Still, not the only point at which Cameron sounded Old Labour. He endorsed the right to work, and they even applauded that. Imagine if Ed Miliband had said that last week. The Blairite media holders out for his brother, which is all of them in their little huddle being told what the line is, would have gone bananas.

And as for booing former Leaders, the Labour delegates, including several MPs first elected last year, were specifically booing Tony Blair. Cameron should have mentioned that name. If they had booed, then they would by implication have been booing him, the Heir to Blair. And if they had not booed...

  1. In their little huddle being told what the line is - spot on. I don't know why you bother with Britain, where all the hacks are related but they still all sleep with each other. You should have moved to the US years ago, your success on PostRight showed how well you could do there. Why do you stay somewhere where nobody can get published without the approval of Oliver Kamm?
