Changing at Holborn for the Piccadilly line certainly brings back fond and not so fond school memories

I’ll get round to watching the Bingham speech at some point.

You are far too kind. Retired Law Lord, Bingham was the most interesting speaker of the day (and no-one less tie-died/sandalled could be imagined). It was a real pleasure to meet you in reality rather than virtuality – and the other LPUK’ites too.

PJ, you might need to dig out your tie die shirt and sandals if you want to fit in!

It sounds like a very good day. Reminds me of the party conferences I went to in the 90s where you could (presumably still can) flit from fringe meeting to fringe meeting and hear many different views and debates from many different groupings. These were invariably more interesting than the guff being spouted in the main hall

If they hold another next year I will certainly attend, and no, not to try and change a Red Pepper girl’s mind

Tbrrob, were you sat talking with tim Carpenter and left about 8:30pm? In which case we possibly said goodbye, not knowing who each other was.

Ian PJ, glad you watched it, I’m waiting for more sessions to be put up.

Ian,

Very good overview of the day. I watched most of it via Internet TV and came to the same conclusions as yourself. Too many vested interests at play, but most definitely a step in the right direction.

Christ don’t say I missed you at the Alternative Convention.

Probably had, had one too many drinks by that stage.
