I can't think of a way to spin this into a question, sorry.

I just thought it was refreshingly funny.

OK jno. I said that he should not have been allowed to approach the stage and that the security guard on the conference room door should not be the last line of defence. I'm not going to design what the room's security policy should have been, but I don't believe it's beyond the wit of security experts to have done so. She is the PM and the terror threat level is currently "severe", having only recently been downgraded from "critical".

fair enough, I've no doubt there are endless papers and protocols on how best to arrange security. But I do think in the end you also have to take account of the symbolism of separating a leader from her people just at a time when she needs to be seen to reach out to them.

Stages are usually of a standard height, and the one Corbyn used in Brighton was no higher than the one used by May in Manchester.

Yes. Sorry to have been diverted by trying to design a security policy during the discussion!

She should be commended for keeping the speech going as she's been suffering from a heavy cold all week. Being a type 1 diabetic wouldn't have helped. The P45 stunt was quite amusing. The letters dropping off the sign was hilarious, the company responsible for the display will be getting their own P45 this morning. Good job the O didn't fall off in country :-)

Melv16,

The O in country did go south. Fortunately, the U had already gone also.

Looks like someone used the wrong adhesive :-)

When evenTthe Telegraph calls yesterday a farce, then that must mean something surely ?

[-Talbot-]

It probably means it was a farce?

[mikey4444]

Not according to some Tory Patsies this morning....she was being "brave" apparently.

just goes to show the perils of promulgating policy with fridge magnets, melv
