A Mad Tea Party Conference
September 30, 2008
AS if those attending last week’s Labour Party Conference needed any more proof of the crazy political times we currently find ourselves in.
Ashfield MP Geoff Hoon put on a brave face as Mad Hatters and a big white rabbit surrounded him on his way to the Manchester Conference Centre.
Mental health charity Rethink was behind the Alice In Wonderland routine, which aimed to raise awareness of a number of ‘mad’ inequalities that people who suffer from mental illnesses face every day.
Geoff wouldn’t be the only delegate hoping that our economic troubles start feeling the effects of the magical shrinking sweets – or perhaps that the greedy City speculators may even choke on them.
