Who is speaking? Someone from the Strafford Club perhaps?

The remit of 'Chief Whip' may be an important one. However, I don't understand why it was thought necessary to so name the post. The title and remit seem to have no connection.
Quoting David Bean from 21:14, 4th Apr 2007Not sure you mean, exnihillo, about the Chief Whip role (which for the benefit of others looks after all matters pertaining to training in all forms of speaking and debating): as far as I'm aware, you haven't actually been at the university since it was created, so how would you know how worthwhile it is?

Obviously not involved in one of Uncle John's training sessions, whipping is a very accurate description of what that felt like...

What a snide point. I would know how worthwhile a rôle is because I keep myself informed and am not a complete moron. However, you miss my point, I never said training was not worthwhile, you might want to try reading people's posts before answering them. Al has it right, the remit and title are utterly unrelated and the title of Chief Whip makes no sense whatever and is, frankly, a stupid one.

the snipish nature of the anti-Peter Blair verse also doesn't really do justice to what was, in fairness, quite a good year's debating in hindsight.

Can I be the only one on this board who feels as though you only come here to find things to argue and insult people about?
