Agreed. £369million of taxpayers' money to do up the home of the UK's most workshy family, when they have loads of loot pilfered over hundreds of years.
The Royal Family doesn't own Buckingham Palace, its owned by the Crown Estate, i.e. the government.The treasury receives £300 million a year from the Crown estates profits. The refurbishment is to something we own that generates profits for the country, both directly and indirectly.
I take it he got some lefty comedian to write this speech, it's all just comedy sound bites and digs at the past, with very very little policy or useful content.
it's got the audience clapping every few seconds (and giving a standing ovation to saint dianne, lol) but if you look at their faces when the camera pans round, they all look like they're hypnotised or drugged. Lots of bored and sleepy faces.

Was watching on BBC, and now switched to LBC and its painful to listen....the crowd just applause after every sentence. He could call them all swear words and they would still clap.
I suppose thats what you get at a party conference.
There was a journalist on the Today programme this morning who said his popularity among those at the conference is such that he could read out one of Tony Blair's speeches and still get wild applause. I suppose thats what you get at a party conference.

Read one sentence, stop for applause.
Repeat.
it's just 'canned laughter',much like watching bbc comedy reruns on yesterday or dave they just add laughter because they think the populace aren't clever enough to laugh when THEY find it funny,....or worse episodes of 'friends'Repeat.
