Heather Wheeler Mis-Spoke

Speaking at a conference Wheeler, a parliamentary secretary in the Cabinet Office, said that "I was just at a conference in Blackpool or Birmingham or somewhere godawful."

She later tweeted an apology (for saying what she really thinks).

Ms Wheeler seems to have contempt for we plebs,

us plebs us plebs ( we is nominative, us is accusative or oblique) as heth might say: only a pleb would make a mistake like that

er to the point: poor heth -like Prince Chazz - didnt expect to be quoted...we have all dont it

There are godawful places everywhere ...

But it takes a special kind of politician to write off both the place your PM has taken the company jet to the day before to make his "ahem ... moving on" speech, and the place your party has its Autumn conference at later this year, in so few throwaway words.

Nothing to apologise for. She was simply telling the truth.

I can't claim the full credit, I was inspired by Corbyloon's comment about Gumby earlier in this thread :-)
