What happened to conference?

I just popped out for some lunch and managed to miss all of Alan Johnson's speech. I was only gone for 10 minutes. This was the secretary of one of the most important offices of state speaking, and he only had 10 minutes.

We remember some of the embarrassing moments from the past, such as the 'I have a little list' and the SAS one, because they were lengthy speeches with some playful (cringe-worthy content). Now, anything below the chancellor is not covered on terrestrial TV and the speeches are unbelievably short.

A travesty.

Squiffy.
