Hello from Liberal Democrat Conference in Sheffield.
Many of you will have been to party conference before. Many of you will have experienced the delights of the goody bag attendees receive. To help Liberal Democrat Voice bring you the true conference experience even if you can’t make it here yourself, Will Howells – you may remember him from such blogs as this one – has made us a quick video checking out his junk. Enjoy.

This probably seemed like a good idea at the time……
Sorry I could not stop myself laughing, the poor young man Will Howells held himself together very well, until the end.
Such excitement…
thanks it really did make me smile on such a dismal start to the day…
Usually I omit to pick a ‘goodie bag’ up, but having one foisted on me on this occasion, I insisted on giving it back; but for one regional conference, where inexplicably some of the exhibitors were giving away worthwhile stuff & bottles of water, there has never been anything good; given the recent somewhat overzealous security it’s far better and quicker to simply take whatever steps possible to avoid carrying a bag that needs searching.
And I didn’t even realise they were handing out bags at all this time!
Thanks for posting this – I carried mine around all weekend inside my backpack all weekend and never got around to looking in it. Now I don’t need to!
