Glad you enjoyed the blog. It was a great day out at Ledbury. Julian's comment got me thinking about another popular British politician, Shirley Williams, who was once in the same party as Tony Benn. Another politician of integrity who took actions and stances in the 1980s that led to unintended consequences. Vote Benjamin Zephaniah!

Superb review, David and Greg. Great reading. I still don't trust Benn either though.

Wonderful review Greg - it really gives a great flavour of the event. It's one I'd love to go to one day. I have ex in-laws living in the area - who knows - maybe one day it will all come to pass ;)
