[bryan appleyard] of bournemouth, packaging & women

Pretty women in politics

I keep getting pulled back to this site, like to a black hole and no doubt you have the same problem in varying degrees. Appleyard’s Bournemouth take: Dazed by the party conference coverage, I am only hearing about one word in ten. And - here's the weird thing - it's always the same word! Package! Everybody keeps saying 'package'! And his piece on women in politics today: It's a very Guardian thing not even to consider the one possibility that would threaten their own perspective. In this case, it does not occur … that perhaps women don't want to go into politics. Why should they? They'd only be told to talk about Paxman's Package.
