  Not quite right Marek as far as Conference venues are concerned. Venues swap around, Conservatives in Birmingham this year.... I dont know which phone box the LibDems are in this year though, there are still a few around, Barry W-S....
  
  being serious again, on the subject of the think tank report.
  
  
  Charlie has posted on CentreRight this morning and here is an part of what he said.
  
  """"Many will be horrified about PX's report on the Northern cities. I certainly am - the top line strikes me as defeatist and depressing. Yet I think they may have done the country a favour in (re)sparking a debate about the North South divide. This divide is frankly one of the worst features of our country. I've often heard it said that the North has the quality of life, the South the quantity of life. In other words, the South has great wealth, but less time, community and increasingly less beauty as it subsides gently in a sea of concrete and congestion. The North has less material wealth, yet there seems a greater sense of community, more time for people and some of the most heartbreakingly beautiful countryside our nation has to offer. """"""""
  
  Seems a fair enough comment to me.
