I think posts like this one demonstrate just how important blogging can be for informing people of the real conference experience, beyond the glare of Jim Fitzpatrick and the live television cameras. Keep it up.nineteensixtysevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416547549947921119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-6500955509517931792010-02-07T01:17:10.649+00:002010-02-07T01:17:10.649+00:00great coverage Alan!
re leadership. McDonnell'...great coverage Alan!<br /><br />re leadership. McDonnell's delivery is always awful. But there's something about Margaret i can't bear. She really enunciates every vowel and is difficult to listen to. She speaks like English is her first language but its not ours. I get the sensation of being in a TEFL classroom when she talks. <br /><br />Still, I do like her though. McDonnell on the other hand is very easy to dislike. <br /><br />So is this a party that's going to wane? Does it look like its got a heart beat / reasonable self-belief that it won't fall further? <br /><br />Anything else of interest from SDLP youth?<br /><br />bobballsblankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05401295933661342164noreply@blogger.com
