This week has been the Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth. There were grand speeches, reaffirming of values and some exciting policy announcements.
But who was the hero of the conference?
Was it Gordon Brown who, in his first few weeks as PM, steadfastly and calmly steered the ship of state through a terrorist attack in Glasgow, a flooding crisis as thousands of people were deluged by tropical amounts of rain and an outbreak of the disastrous foot and mouth disease?
Was it either of the clever Miliband Brothers?
Or was the Darling of the conference Alistair, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who earlier this month almost overnight helped to reassure the thousands of queueing Northern Rock customers that their money was safe.
Although all of these are impressive the actual hero of the conference was...
Smeato of course!
John Smeaton is the airport baggage handler who bravely tackled blazing terrorists attacking policemen at Glasgow airport and helped to pull a man with a broken leg to safety. He attended the Labour Party conference and received a standing ovation when Gordon Brown praised and thanked him as an example of the spirit of the British people...
"John told me it was instinctive, he was doing what was right.
That man, that hero John Smeaton is here with us today and on behalf of our country – John, we thank you."
