Chairing a meeting, Conservative style

You are chairing a public meeting with Ken Livingstone, put on to allow Londoners to question him about his job as Mayor.

Do you:

(a) Call half a dozen Tory councillors to ask questions rather than half a dozen more members of the public

(b) Not give away any indication that you know that any of Tory councillors you call to ask questions are indeed Tory councillors

(c) Both of the above.

If you’re Tory Bob Neill, the answer is (c). (And yes, they were all local Tory councillors he knows).

    I imagaine you’re still feeling sore for failing to win the Bromley by-election!?!

  • I am sure Bob is feeling sore at having come so close to loosing what was the 13th safest Tory seat.

  • Ah, so nothing to say on the substance of the issue. Thanks for the concession then that Bob Neill was wrong in his behaviour 🙂
