Future of England Conference - apologies.
Yesterday was the CEP’s Future of England Conference. I should have been there, I even had a ticket. Unfortunately the harsh realities of time and finance meant I couldn’t make it. Much as I’d like to I can’t afford to go up to London for all these events.
There’s that and then there’s that spiked drink I guzzled late on St George’s day night whilst out round Brum. Was it was the three skinheads I was lecturing? Or was it the weaselly lefty I was arguing with? Dunno for sure but I suspect it was the former they were considerably younger and definitely dumberer.
Anyway what followed was a mental shutdown reminiscent of that scene in 2001 where HAL is slowly reduced to singing Daisy Bell. I’m thinking either was what passes these days for an “Ecstasy” tablet or more likely GHB but who knows.
Quite alarming for a short while. It certainly swept a few cobwebs away!
Yeah so I missed the conference. I however, won’t have been missed - I once dared to suggested that their choice of logo was a mistake and have become persona non grata at the CEP since then - yeah over a logo.
That kind of highlights my problem with the CEP; the ego clique at the top seems totally unreceptive to ideas whilst there’s almost a complete absence of fresh thinking there.
I have one suggestion to make the CEP better. Put Mr Wildgoose in charge - then we’ll see some action.

I’m sorry to hear about that Wyrdtimes. Not a nice way to enjoy St George’s Day. I couldn’t make the conference either, so I hope there wikk be lots of info in the witan club blogs and CEP news site.

Hope you’re not including me in that!
I was blogging the conference from the venue all day yesterday. I don’t know what the plastic chairs were like but the wooden bench at the back I was sat on was really uncomfortable.
