Annabel, 15, in Hague speech.Byline: JASON Jason, in Greek mythology Jason, in Greek mythology, son of Aeson. When Pelias usurped the throne of Iolcus and killed (or imprisoned) Aeson and most of his descendants, Jason was smuggled off to the centaur Chiron, who reared him secretly on Mt. Pelion. BEATTIE SCHOOLGIRL Annabel Shaw did a "William Hague" with a tub-thumping speech at the Tory party conference yesterday. The 15-year-old from Vauxhall, South West London South West London could mean:
Informal divisions of London , called on Gordon Brown to apologise for his economic "mismanagement mis·man·age tr.v. mis·man·aged, mis·man·ag·ing, mis·man·ag·es To manage badly or carelessly. mis·man  age·ment n. ".
She said: "Gordon Brown, I want an apology for the debt burden you are passing on to my generation." Her appearance drew comparisons with Mr Hague, who shot to fame when he spoke at the 1977 Tory conference, aged 16. Annabel, whose political hero is Margaret Thatcher, said she felt "very nervous" and was "too busy concentrating on not falling off the podium" to notice the delegates' rapturous reaction. It emerged last night that Annabel comes from a well-connected Conservative family. Sources said she was the daughter of former right-wing Tory MP David Shaw, and she attended an expensive private school. THE Tories were branded bloodsuckers yesterday for refusing to give the National Blood Service a stand at their conference. Labour let the donation group have space for free at their gathering last week. CAPTION(S): TORY GIRL Annabel addresses conference yesterday |
