It was clearly the duty of all hard-working members of the Liberal Democrat Voice team to be paying attention and taking notes at the constitutional consultative session yesterday afternoon at conference. The last conference decided to move to OMOV, one member one vote, whereby all party members have the right to attend and vote at conference. But there still remained the leg work – the hard yards – that had to be done, going through each line of the constitutional changes – line by line – to check the wording, semantics and punctuation. The meeting yesterday involved much pained discussion over commas, parentheses and potential tautologies.
Joe Otten and myself were there following every twist and turn of the debate.
But where, you might well ask, was our esteemed editor?
Well, overnight, evidence has emerged from the undergrowth of Facebook which reveals that, in an outrageous dereliction of duty, our editor was on a Beatles’ tour. It’s undeniable now. Above is the photographic evidence. The identity of one of the co-conspirators has been obscured to protect the innocent.

Sounds like a good bit of delegation to me 🙂
Definitely one of my better life decisions. I note Paul Walter has been hiding from me all day:-).
