At last year's Labour Party conference 82 year old Walter Wolfgang was ejected by security guards for heckling during Tony Blair's speech. He is believed to have shouted "Nonsense" after Blair claimed that the UK was only in Iraq to help build a democratic government.
Mr. Wolfgang, a Jew who escaped from Nazi Germany as a teenager in the late 1930s and who was a founding member of the CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament), has subsequently been elected to the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party.
I assume that this means he will have a better seat this year and won't have to yell as loud to be heard. (He was in the balcony last year - surely a cruel fate for an octogenarian!) I also assume that he won't be ejected.
I wonder if he'll get to meet the PM. If so, I'd like to be a fly on the wall.
