Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

Last night in my largest local pub a packed-in crowd of about 200 watched the Rugby final. This is a mixed community, 2 miles from the centre of a city with 2 universities. Its an area of largely late Victorian and Edwardian 2 storey terraced houses, plus some between the wars stuff, some extended with loft conversions, some converted into flats, significant numbers in multiple occupation with singles: students and working people. All age groups were represented in the pub. When Brown's face in the crowd of spectators was shown, the entire audience booed. There is a message for the LDs: you need a leader who is convincing, and you have 2 years to make an impression. Huhne perhaps? (Lynne, you would have qualified.)
