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.

For ages I though off-shore meant that there were banks on things like oil-rigs...

Is there a perception it's going to be either/or?

A really good question... and a waffly answer given.

I luff her.

Pol: "ooh, biscuits over there"

OMG YOU ARE WATCHING ME YOU BUGGERS

Oxfam man and tax man are very good aren't they?

When did you type that? When did you read?

aaagg -- extended music metaphor misery!

I'm not liking the stripey green jumper next to her.

Incisive commentary

I wasn't unimpressed, I was concentrating

I have a natural got-the-arsey-hump expression. It's dogged me throughout my life.

I think there must be a delay, habb.

Is that teh monopoly thing, Threadie? I forgave him, as some of his listeners are not from these shores. And then maybne i didn't.

The PW INFLUENCE"There'll be tears before bedtime!"

I didn't see her type that. Her dongle must be tiny

You'll see me tapping away in a minute, while in RL I'll be tugging Oxfam man's chest hair.

LOL, PW, you actually look like you're trying to look actively impressed now - loving the nodding!

Following tears before bedtime

If you can get Adrian Levitt to say "I'm counting to ten and then there'll be consequences" i will kiss you on the mouth

Did you lot get those numbers, anyway? $400bn per year in lost tax revenues - enough to pay for the Millennium Development Goals eight times over.

Thought it was very interesting. Tsk.

100x, thank you very much for the eyebrow commentary. I do them myself!

Kay, jumper man is a Networker. As soon as the round table finished he leapt into Oxfam man's lap.

those are similar to the EU spend on bottled water stats, pol - enough to pay for MDG goals for water...

Networker or lapdancer?

The profiles of those bloggers look very interesting (no, honestly) but I PW's almost over the lady from BitchBuzz. Can't believe I missed her moment!

The figures are a bit boggling, really. Hard to concieve that there's a reluctance to sort that tax haven mess out, really.

Ooooh, I've just seen PW typing on mumsnet ON TELLY!

POL START TWEETING - Lots of quick stuff here, like the tax evasion stat.
Don't forget to put #G20Voice, (not #G20)

Quick quick do one and I'll text you if I get it

RIGHT I'm off again. Shall I do Save the Children? I like the corruption/capture man mind. But maybe STC man would be best.
