To my enduring embarrassment I was reponsible for the original idea of a campaign tour around the traditional seaside resorts during th traditional off-season of August. We (correctly) anticipated an early autumn Election (familiar?). Thorpe planned the logistics (down to party colour gumboots) in characteristic detail, but failed to lead on the campaign message.
