Where the Conservative Party goes, the spirit of enterprise follows. Resourcefully, the local cinema in Blackpool is showing a mini-season of Arnold Schwarzenegger blockbusters to compensate for the Governator’s physical absence from this week’s conference. Which means that delegates who can’t face Dave’s big speech on Wednesday can enjoy Terminator 3 instead. One will be an all-action thriller with lots of stunts and special effects in which a battered cybernetic organism repeatedly defies death against an apparently unbeatable foe in an attempt to prevent catastrophe; and the other will be an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
