Maybe jigging will add to that warmth.for those people, maybe they will go the opposite way and say "actually...cringe...she doesn't help herself" Who knows. If you consider me as the absolute fair minded middle ground (which is a fair assessment) then my missus is way off to the left of me, quite the angry little Zapatista. She's got to the stage where a few times now she's felt awkwardly sorry for May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 @bickster - Thought it was Vox Political, but no it was... Quote There was a time, back in the day, when cabinet ministers were the star attraction of the Conservative conference show. Attendees would queue round the block to hear from famous faces in the party and hear how they were going to tackle the biggest issues of the day. But those days are no more. Instead, at this year’s conference, Mr S has noticed that turnout in the main hall has been remarkably low. In fact, even the most recognisable members of cabinet have failed to fill up the main conference hall. So, Mr S has cast his eye round the ICC in Birmingham to find out where Conservative members have gone The Spectator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spectator Other ERG events were poorly attended though, as was the whole conference if the truth be known The Spectator is hardly impartial when it comes to the Brexit debate. I wonder how many of those people were journalists who hang off his every word and how many were delegates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I've often wondered other than IRA terrorists , what sort of people go to to party conferences anyway ? I mean I can sorta understand why virgins go to comic con to meet like minded virgins , get away from their mum for a bit and meet their heroes etc , but a party political conference , why ? what possible enjoyment could you get from it ...or Is the conference a cover for a swingers weekend and really everyone is playing hide the sausage in the sauna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right, you've pretty much got it. There are political nerds there, but the amount of opportunity for a bit of slapstick sexual encounter was a genuine surprise. I'd presumed all my comrades were above that sort of muck. But it turned out a room full of marxists will keep on staying in the room for another last drink whilst there is still a chance that woman really will take her top off for a dare. The potential for the #metoo style accusations was incredible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
