With the usual grovelling apologies - this time to AA Milne
King Gord was not a good man
A coward to his bones
He hurled abuse at all his staff
And often mobile ‘phones
But every year at Conference
They’d let him out to speak
He’d give them tractor stats galore
He’d be applauded from the floor
Ovations too (the whips made sure)
How he loved Conference Week !
King Gord was not a good man
He lived his life aloof
He’d thought of stepping ‘neath a bus
Or jumping from the roof
A Conference speech he had to make
But naught to say of note
He couldn’t get to sleep at night
Till Sarah, pitying his plight
“To Santa Claus, you’d better write”
And this is what he wrote.
“I want to meet Obama,
And I want good news
And victory in Afghanistan
Would help to cure the blues
I don’t mind lying
So it needn’t all be true
And it SHOULD make me look better
Than Tony you-know-who
And, oh! Father Christmas, if you want to help me sleep
A photo please of Cameron, in congress with a sheep!”

Very good.
Another winner.
I take you are referring to the Oxford Farming Conference on 4 January 2010 at the Examination Halls in Oxford? Your item would make an excellent paper for circulation for disseminating ideas.
yes indeed, and the hunt is on to find a suitable illustration to liven up his otherwise rather dull tractor-stats
Excellent.... enjoyed that!
Sublime.
If Dave, as I suspect, freezes in the headlights after becoming PM next year, I will parody The Old Sailor from Now We Are Six.
Gosh, you're doing a Bill Quango now.
ahem James I have been polluting the airwaves thus for many a long moon but generally elsewhere (G.Fawkes; he has a search facility)
Mr Idle has also been a gracious host - good to see they let you out at weekends Mr I ! Old Sailor - the suspense will be the end of me
