One of those people



By natural temperament, brother, and by social position I’m one of those people who can do nothing sensible themselves, but can read sermons to other people.

Green co-leader opens party conference with scathing attack on Labour U-turns

Green co-leader Adrian Ramsay has opened the party’s conference with an attack on the “lacklustre offers and U-turns” of Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party.

Kicking off the left-wing party’s campaign against Labour for next year’s local elections, Mr Ramsay painted the Greens as “an inspiring alternative to business as usual”.

An inspiring alternative to business. As usual.

You only need the Lib Dems to join in now, and you have the full basket case!

DJ - very unusual in those circles and not really welcome.

Sam - yes, the latest incarnation of anti-capitalism.

Scrobs - plus Ed Miliband to finish it off.

I wonder how all of those Greens supporters got to the conference? Trudging the roads in their hand made footwear made of grass, vegetable peelings, and dead flowers, must have taken them ages.

Penseivat - yes, some of them must have set off weeks ago, I'm surprised we didn't hear about one or two of their valiant journeys for the Cause.
