A Conference too far

There seems to be a lot of speculation around why the Tory Conference has been cancelled. I think we should all be grateful, its one less staged  boring piece of television to watch.
If political parties want to gather the faithful,massage egos and worship at the feet of leaders,fine, but to impose it on a less than appreciative public is just not on.
Hopefully the other parties will want to save money too 
So what do you think  the real reason is- lack of interest, security costs, not wanting o give Cheryl G an outing, Andrew RT not cutting it .
Or may be just not wanting to chance the reactions that could come from local elections.
But why leave it so late to cancel and why the lack of clarity around the cancellation,one booked speaker found out from a journalist.

The reason the Tories have in cancelling their conference being due to security concerns in Llandudno is well documented. Last night the anti-terrorism police railed a meeting of Muslim radicals at community centre in Canton, Cardiff, and found a map of Wales on which the A470 was CLEARLY marked. On my last visit to Deganwy I also saw a farmer with a very suspicious beard. To suggest that there may be other political reasons why Tories cancel conferences in Wales is just mischief making on your part.

i doubt your average Muslim extremist even knows where Wales is never mind Llandudno or that there are Welsh Tories, if security is the reason why is the Scottish Tory Conference going ahead?

BBC Wales is cutting party conference coverage so maybe the Tories decided to follow suit and save themselves the embarrassment of having Cheryl Gillan and Andrew RT speeches broadcast to the nation.

The Scottish Tory Conference is going ahead because no terrorist would be able to find the telephone kiosk.

Mischief making no way Read what all the commentators are saying in the written press and broadcast press. Of course people will see a political dimension to it they are a political party - aren't they

This is all part of the master plan to remove the 'Welsh' from the Welsh Conservatives, and return them to their rightful place as a minor branch of the Conservative and Unionist party.
