One of the advantages (or disadvantages) of not being at all the conference is the ability to hear some of the media coverage at greater length than is normal when attending.
I heard the BBC's clip of Ming's green speech yesterday.
It was excellent.
Slow. Profound. Deliberate. Quiet.
When I compare it to clips from Paddy's old speeches it is like comparing chalk and cheese. Paddy used to challenge the audio equipment with the loudness and passion of his voice.
Unfortunately, the clip from Ming sounded like he was trying to emulate Iain Duncan-Smith:
"Do.................not.......................underestimate the.........determination.................of a.............. quiet .............man."
I do hope Ming lets his natural passion and vigour out of the box on Thursday. Perhaps he was trying to create a contrast - quietness and aplomb on Sunday, energy and passion on Thursday.
Let's hope so.
