People Power.

As much as many politicians hate the Daily Mail, when one sees a major multiple displaying 3 facings of the paper one can't help but think that many of those politicians ignore the Readers of the Daily Mail at their own peril.

It's not so much the readers as he editor they need to be wary of. The readers should ask themselves why they are so keen to subscribe to his agenda of hatred and fear-mongering.

You sound like a Publicity or Media person to me with that comment Oscar! Not a normal run of the mill expression!

It is a great pleasure to serve under your chairmanship for the first time, Mr Crausby, and to see so many colleagues from north Wales here to debate this important issue.

It is not often that I can begin such a debate by saying that we can learn something from the Welsh Conservatives, but today I am privileged to be able to do so. The Welsh Conservatives have cancelled their Llandudno conference this year, apparently because of security costs. I am not sure whether they think extra security is needed to hold back the crowds or to ensure that none of their politicians get out to hear what local people think. Wherever they plan to skulk off to instead, I hope they face the full weight of the law for non-payment of the £20,000 that the Imperial hotel is likely to lose because of their bad business practice in cancelling so late. Leaving aside their cowboy capitalism—I see that Guto Bebb does not wish to intervene—the Conservatives’ decision has betrayed a fact they have been trying to deny since the general election, which is that good security costs money, and without enough funding, security will suffer.

Conwy Labour: could you please explain why you couldn't be arsed to scroll down the page and post this under one of the relevant (Imperial Hotel/Welsh Conservative Conference) threads? Less than competent posting doesn't inspire much confidence I'm afraid.

"He who dictates and formulates the words and phrases we use, he who is master of the press and radio, is master of the mind. Repeat mechanically your assumptions and suggestions, diminish the opportunity for communicating dissent and opposition. This is the formula for political conditioning of the masses." - Joost Meerloo
