Michael Portillo at The Daphne du Maurier Festival

I was, in truth expecting a presentation which would not perhaps be the most entertaining from a man who was for so many years a leading Politician.
How wrong I was!

From the moment he entered stage right Michael Portillo demonstrated that he is a very accomplished orator with an excellent sense of humour and a genuine ability to hold his audience in the palm of his hand.
Discussing his political career as well as many personal aspects of his life he demonstrated a side unlikely to have been seen by many of the audience before. When it came to answering questions by members of the audience again, I was not disappointed as nowhere to be heard was the politicians favourite pastime of never giving an answer. To the contrary he gave a full, descriptive and direct answer to every single question raised - a long way from Prime Ministers question time!
