Tory on a slippery slope

Posted by Rob Irvine on July 11, 2007 5:42 PM | 

WE are just sorting out tomorrow's key news pages..the splash at the moment is a shocking story about bullying at a primary school in Anglesey. We also have tributes to the North Wales pub landlord tragically killed in a motorbike crash earlier this week.
There's another two pages from the International Eisteddfod – it’s a big event for Wales but we'll be giving much more space to the National Eisteddfod next month.
The plan is for at least four pages of pictures and stories plus key results each day with lots of picture galleries and video at dailypost.co.uk - and pretty soon we will be launching a click-to-buy online photo order service. I'll let you have more details when the system goes live.
One amusing tale for tomorrow is about the Tories' new Welsh spokesman in the House of Lords who has admitted knowing nowt about the country’s politics.
Lord Glentoran, whose previous claim to fame was winning Olympic gold for Britain in the 1964 bobsleigh event (he was the Dixon half of the Dixon-Nash duo) has admitted he is very knowledgeable about the geography of Wales but not much more.
One of the few remaining hereditary peers, the Eton educated toff insisted he had “got his hands dirty” in the past when he worked on the shop floor at a Kodak factory.
Speaking about his younger days he added: “I went to stay, literally, with a working class family.”
Literally...and he didn't catch anything.
We’re going to have some fun with him. I wonder if he fancies a go on the toboggan run at the Great Orme ski centre?
