WATCH: An Evening of Plain Speaking on Plain Packaging

Here it is, the video of Stop The Nonsense: An Evening of Plain Speaking on Plain Packaging at the Institute of Directors.

Dan Donovan has edited 98 minutes of footage into a twelve-minute film that features contributions from the eight speakers (and me).

Speakers included the IEA's Mark Littlewood; Madsen Pirie, president of the Adam Smith Institute; John O'Connell (TaxPayers Alliance); Angela Harbutt (Liberal Vision); and Chris Snowdon.

There are also soundbites from a handful of guests. Sorry we couldn't include more.

The video will be sent on DVD and memory stick to MPs and journalists. In addition to the main video (above), the DVD will feature every speech in full.

It will also feature Brian Monteith reading an anti plain pack message from former justice minister, the Rt Hon Damian Green MP.

I'll post a selection over the next few days.

Many thanks to Dan Donovan who has battled numerous other commitments (plus a heavy cold and fatigue!) to complete this time-consuming task. He was still emailing me at 4.00am on Monday morning.

Update: It's not too late to make your opinions known. If you haven't done so, please write to your MP via our Last Chance Saloon microsite.
