Policywonk, in a smart coat, LIVE FROM WESTMINSTER

[policywonk]

Hello and welcome

I've got my dongle working! Woohoo!

Today is a briefing day organised by the G20 Voice peeps.

Am networking like a wild thing. Oh look, there's Michelle O. 'Scuse me.

PW, you know, I'm really not sure, but I loved your 'either/or' question earlier.

I think I'd like any questions to boil down to 'What do you suggest we DO then?'

Oh Spain! Spain very important and huge economy and seems to entirely prop up our economy. Also spanish going to become the first tongue of USA in about twenty years. Spain is where it's at. We must think of on trend, politically fashion forward questions for Spain. Uh-huh. Lenin - think of some immediately.

Go get a job tonight PW! You have the mothers of Britain behind you. Don't drink too much though.

See, now I'm torn between thinking up searing political questions and wanting to flirt outrageously with foxy women.

MN messes with my head.

So is this PW's blog? Or is there another blog which is her at the G20?

If she does an interview with another blogger does it go on this thread, are all the other bloggers going to look at this thread as her blog?

If they are, we'd better have a quick tidy up I think.

Right, I'm off out for a stroll.

Laters. xx

This bit is like being in a high pressure office, nobody wants to be the first to shut down the laptop, get their coat and head for a pint.

Actually, she speaketh the trutheth that 100x. Should we confine our blethering (and bitching ) about bosoms/combovers/sandwiches to the Policywonk's a babe thread, dyou think?

I'm worried at the number of media people who will be reading this and making accurate assessments vast generalizations about our political commitment..

Is that your recommendation for pw or a status update onebat?

Re your latest post, I agree. I am worried.

ooh policy, I didn't realise you were at Westmin. You should have said ;-) (thought you were at ExCel). Are you there tomorrow?

Oh good, that's what I think too.

It is all quite MN consistent, and not I would argue an indication of vapidity, BUT I'd like her to interview that blogger from China because he sounds interesting, and then she should be able to post her interview here without thread being too cluttered.

though I do LOVE the live feed chat too.

Perhaps we've got it out our systems during the orientation day, and tomorrow we'll all be ready and as well orientated as PW?

Foxy, PW looks like a brunette version of you. Did you know that?

Oh sorry. Cluttering thread again.

Fortunately PW has An Official Blog, on which I am assuming the majority of comment/interview will appear. However, I imagine that a quick trawl of the internet will turn this thread up, and that it will prove a great deal more entertaining than oxfam's blog 'authorised' blog entries.

does she? gawd, poor girl

I can't click on these links and make them work at work grrrr

but I did see a very foxy lady on the mumsnet front page .

you mean she's not only rambling on blogging on this thread?

we can talk about her because she's out with the rioters getting pissed

The One True Blog

Yes, she really, really does. Is bizarre, honestly. Same chin! Same everything really.

Perhaps each day we will have a new PW at G20 thread. We can start all new and serious each day, and then end with me doing weird lookey likey chat.

Maybe MNHQ or PW will explain what we are meant to be looking at tomorrow. I want her to talk to the chinese blogger v. much.

Does anyone know why they chose the ExCel centre as the venue?

I ask for two reasons: 1. Central London!? are these people crazy. They KNEW there would be protests, so why don't they have it somewhere in the middle of nowhere

1. ExCel is possibly one of the most depressing places on earth (had a bunch of exams there). It's big, drafty, and you have planes taking off every ten minutes right next door. How are they going to solve all the world's problems with that racket going on?
