those lobbyists, what a disgrace

Here is Tim Yeo (hat-tip Guido, obvs) fulminating at Tory conference:

"Conference has become too dominated by lobbyists and special interest groups, and it is driving away those genuinely interested in party matters."

right enough, it seems.  What have we here?  Oh yes, a lobbyist at Tory conf.  Poor old Tim. What he has to put up with.
