The post you are reporting:
The Labour Party Conference lost a little something when the word 'plebiscite' got its redundancy notice, to be replaced with 'focus-group'.
Now they have all followed in Walt Disney's footsteps and made every day their 'mascots' birthday, and if it was not for the colour of the icing, and their respective easy-blow candles, none would know that there were different hands on the slicing knife.
Assured of pretty much blanket publicity;good/bad, intended/unintended, the leaders seem to struggle and strive for that extra something, like a drowning man gasping his last in a straw-strewn pond.
Whether or not the latest wheeze, temporary energy price control, lasts the course it does serve to give voice to a widely held public concern, and may yet be useful in reminding the Electorate of that other recent rhetorical twist that all Governments are powerless.
Still, the headline act is ever last to tread the stage. As one Party of Government has shot their bolt to so little approval we wait to see what the other Party of Government has up its sleeve.
For, no matter how the mess we are in is perceived, it was certainly in large part, of their own devising. What now can be thought appropriate that neither one could be bother to do at an earlier juncture?
