Money talks

Hilarious. A well-known left-wing blogger has just asked for a fee to take part in Voices of Freedom: The Battle Against Big Government. Sorry. No-one else is being paid - we can't afford it - and we can't make exceptions.

Meanwhile we are still waiting to hear from a host of left of centre groups who we have politely invited to provide a speaker.

For whatever reason it appears that they don't want to engage. With that attitude to political debate, the Left could be in opposition for decades to come.
