Manchester

Some might say it's a permanent state of affirs, but the official political masturbation season has returned with the annual party conferences following the lazy period during which most of our power-brokers are in absentia. The LibDems have just finished their's, Labour have just started on what is expected to be a rather volatile one and the Conservatives are in the final stages of plaaning their own.

Labour's is in Manchester and although the serious mouthing off doesn't really start until tomorrow, delegates have been there since yesterday. A good sign, the planned demonstration was well attened and the campaign to encourge the Prime Preacher's most rapid exit made its voice well heard.

The footage about is just some of it. Nice one!

Later.
