Or something like that.
It turns out that I've been in the same room as British Spin. OK, by 'room', I mean 'main conference hall at the Blackpool Winter Gardens' and back then there was no such thing as weblogs. And it was in 1993, not 1992, so I got that wrong as well.
But then, I always figured that Spin would have been one of the NOLS apparatchiks who sat in the balcony, raising their hand at the right moment to let Labour Students know what they should be voting for. Just in case they'd forgotten what they believed in, of course, not because they couldn't be trusted to make up their own minds.
