Blackpool Unplugged
So much to say, so little bandwidth.
Internet connections at the Liberal Democrat conference have been at best inadequate, at worst non-existent. I shall report at more length shortly.
In the meantime, one Blackpool story tells you all you need to know. A Liberal Democrat MP was travelling in a local taxi yesterday and struck up a conversation with the driver about Blackpool's plan to revitalise its image and economy with a 'super casino'.
The taxi driver said, "Well, if we're going to compete with Las Vegas and Monte Carlo, the council will have sort out the parking."
