Steward's enquiry - Jockey Club to probe "interference"
The stewards have got a job to do”, shouted a Policeman shepherding 82 year old, Labour Party and CND activist, Mr Walter Wolfgang as he returned, in the middle of a media scrum, to the New Labour 2005 conference in Brighton this morning.
It will soon “emerge” that the bulky and enthusiastic stewards who unseated and de-conferenced the modest Jewish refugee are “possibly” members of the BNP / Al Quaeda / Islamic Jihad and that the Police using s.44 of the Terrorist Act to prevent his return, had mistaken him for al Zarkawi / somebody else. Mr Straw, straining to see, in the dim conference hall thought it was Richard Mugabe sending his good wishes.
The voices of dissent are unwelcome in New Labour – John Reid, without a trace of irony, closed the conference with a call for party unity.
At least they didn't shoot him. Dead. Eleven seven times.
Elsewhere at the Coference the BBC report, amateur snapper Great Grimsby MP Austin Mitchell (AKA Mr Austin Haddock MP the Fisherman's friend) had his camera seized by Police and the digital images all erased..."Security gone mad..."

Edward, what is your take on peak oil issues? I am very concerned about climate change and am basically devoting my life to the fight against this crisis.
As a result I have rather dismissed paek oil as a distracting discussion - it seemed to give people the excuse to do nothing about climate change, if oil was about to run out anyway.
Nonetheless I have just been to a meeting here in a sleepy Sussex coastal town of some 22,000 people, hosted by a couple of very ordinary people who are trying to organise Seaford into a self-sufficient community to survive the near-term calamity that the effects of peak oil will bring.
Is there really something to all this?
No simple answer.
1. Companies / Gubments, naturally, tell lies.
2. technology for identifying sources improves.
3. Technology for extraction / transport improves.
4. Fuel consumption efficiencies declien as technology improves.
Ultimately yes we will reach peak oil, but all thse factors above make it difficult. Hubberts curve worked for US and N Sea Western sector.
I am very selfish I will die before we runout. I also think we are ultimately adapatable. Not by choice but by having it forced on us.
So I think laying in the champagne, getting in the Kalashnikovs and pulling up the drawbridge time is some time off...er... globally.
Thanks to the insane indiffernece to energy supplies, source if, costs etc., by the Gubment I think UK is in for problems - which could start big style if this is a bad winter - which the Met office say is 30% probable - whatever the fuck that means.
I would ceryainly make sure that if cold weather does come you have adequate fuel you can use,Bottled gas, wood, coal, water, food. Fuel for vehicles.
Meanwhile my pumpkins are coming on a treat, they store for 4 - 6 months. Soup, pies, ice cream, luvvly jubbly.
