Michael Rock...
That's right kids, for one night only Tory Bear was the Chairman of Conservative Future. Well sort of. It was that time of year again, the winter closing in, the north wind blowing and essays due - it could mean only one thing - a random trek across Scotland for the Conservative Future Scotland conference. Luckily this year it was in the slightly closer and genteel surrounding of St Andrews. A fine array of MSPs and PPCs turned up and so did CFUK national campaigns coordinator Patrick Sullivan. However after a slight glitch in getting a video message sent up from London it fell to Tory Bear to fill in for the big man and what a power trip it was...
Michael Bear officially announced the closing down of CFS and merging it with the CFUK. A complete withdrawal from the NUS and installed himself as chairman for life.
TB was very tempted! No in fact the question and answer session generated some interesting points that he will be sending on to Michael, especially about the NUS which, as ever, got people talking.
Patrick Sullivan entertained with accounts of by-elections, Boris and an insight into the Student Life tours and continued where TB had left off about strengthening the relationship between the two CFs.
All in all it was a good day, a marked improvement on last year and an increase in the numbers...
Lefties have always had cooler t-shirts but now it's our turn to protest something.
TB is still fairly gobsmacked by the Damian Green arrest so will leave it to DC with his greatest quote yet...
The Guardian have
"Here are four words you probably never thought you'd see in the same sentence: "George Osborne trance remix".
Yes, that's George, Osborne, trance and remix.
And it really does mean what it says on the tin: this video features the shadow chancellor's response to the pre-budget report overlaid with a bangin' dance soundtrack.
This deeply strange true blue mash-up comes courtesy of the Tory Bear blog.
Big shout out to the Tory massive."
Indeed.
Robert Peston seemed close to tears this evening on the Six O'Clock News on the BBC. He kept pausing, looking down and seemed close to tears - "For those of us who grew up on pick n'mix, this is a very sad day." Tory Bear doesn't recall him being so upset when announcing Citygroup job losses, in fact he was positively revelling in it. He stated that thousands of Woolworths job losses will effect the "real" people rather than mythical fat cat bankers.
Good on yesterday's Times for sticking it to Brown with this wounding cartoon on the front page:
Apologies for the light blogging today, here's why:
