Soundbites ... Brian Binley MP
Monday, September 20, 2010 Light blogging today because I am travelling to Liverpool for the Lib Dem conference. I'll leave you with this short video which we shot at the Great British Pub Awards in London.
Together with Philip Davies MP, Brian Binley (above) was our special guest and he later presented the Best Creative Outdoor Area Award (see HERE).

Good luck at the Lib Dem Conference. However, it's at the Tory Conference I hope some inroads can be made. My experience is that most grassroots Tories are anti-ban, it is only the leadership that are lethargic about repealing it.
