    I love 'em, Brian, I just wish I was going to be in Birmingham next week........

    You are right that you do get a fair bit of dross emerging from them, but they are important political events and can sometimes make history.

    Over the years I have attended a total of about 10. I was present when Mrs T made what has been labelled on of the 10 great political speeches, her 'the lady is not for turning' one. I was also there for the leadership election speeches when, along with many others, I was blown away by David Cameron and his inspirational address. I texted my wife to tell her right then that I had just heard the next Conservative PM.

    Sadly I was not there last year when a 'one, two' from Osborne and then Cameron suddenly changed events forcing Brown to 'bottle it'.

    So yes, I take our point but sometimes they do make a real dififierence.
