Conservative Party Conference

The conference was held in Brum this year, so I thought it might be fun to hop over there and study the milling throng. Besides, somebody might have been giving away freebies. Below are a few of the photographs I took.

Why is that girl dressed as a cow?  Because she is supporting a Friends of the Earth campaign called "Cheese for the Grater Good". She was also giving away tiny chunks of 'rainforest-free' cheese. As it turned out, one of those chunks of cheese (plus explanatory leaflet) was the only freebie I got - until the last moment, when somebody handed me a pack of the Top Trumps cards pictured below - created by their political pundit Adam Boulton. They are already selling on eBay for £2.00 a time.
