AUSSIE FIREBRAND FLIES 10,000 MILES TO WARN EMPTY CHAIRS ABOUT LONDON
One Nation's Pauline Hanson travelled from Australia to address CPAC London, where fewer than a quarter of the seats were filled and at least a dozen of the roughly 120 people present were journalists. She called it a 'fact-finding mission'; the main fact found was that nobody came. Her verdict on the host city – 'London, no thank you' – was warmly received by London, which returned the sentiment in person by staying home.
