After work on Friday I set off to Reading on the train - came back last night and have to say it was lots of fun - more of that soon in a post but it is half term and I probably wont be scribbling stuff on this blog for a few days - a blog holiday - there will be some reports of conference already on the national Green party website.Photo: Conference, voting and Mark Steel below
However I will mention the speech by comedian Mark Steel who highlighted the terrible state of our rail services and reinforced calls for it to be brought back into public ownership. 
Indeed it took just an hour for me to get to Reading from Stroud (all be it a few mins late) but works on the line returning home meant the journey was over 2 and a half hours - John Marjoram was equally unhappy - being delayed by over an hour in getting to conference due to train cancellations. It is grossly insulting to see the profits these companies and shareholders are making yet the service they provide is basically, as Mark Steel said, "c***".
