The “B” word

Oh dear. Bob Clarkson goes out as he came in – saying things he shouldn’t.

They had just before lunch the farewells for the five retiring MPs. And each of those there (Connell wasn’t attending) said some brief words of thanks. Bob concluded his thanks by saying “Oh and Judy won’t like me saying this, but I also want to thank the 150 Brethren who helped my campaign”.

God it was hilarious. After a moment of stunned silence, everyone burst into laughter (especially on the media table) as it was classic Bob. Well, not quite everyone was laughing – the top stage did resemble a collection of statues 🙂
