Oh, We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside?
Another year, another party conference season. Can you contain your excitement? I can certainly contain mine. Take out MPs, paid staff, journalists attending as such, and lobbyists, and just how many people are there at any of them these days? They are only still held at all because the BBC inexplicably still puts them on television. And even it now consigns most of the proceedings (if they can be so described) to BBC Parliament.
