Conference News: Police were called to the Liberal Democrats conference yesterday, after a man was spotted not wearing any socks with his regulation sandals.

Glasgow’s Exhibition and Conference Centre was evacuated and hundreds of terrified Liberal Democrat supporters flocked into the streets following the initial sighting of the man, who was later found to be simply wearing flesh-coloured socks, which gave the suggestion of a naked foot.

“It was a horrifying experience that I will probably carry with me to my grave,” said one shocked attendee. “What kind of monster wears sandals and no socks? At a Liberal Democrats conference no less.”

The incident is just one in a conference that has been marred with similar controversy.

On Saturday, lunch was briefly halted while it was established if the tuna used in the sandwiches was dolphin friendly.

And later on Sunday afternoon, Vince Cable was spotted arguing with a renegade group of Lib Dems of the merits of classic chinos over a reliable pair of chunky cord trousers.
