Let’s hear it for geek chic 

Is being called a “geek” still an insult, or a badge of pride? Geek is Good, a new campaign that has already won the support of Stephen Fry and Carol Vorderman, .

The idea proved popular among guests at the InterContinental Westminster Hotel last night, who were there celebrating the start of the party conference season.

Sally Bercow admitted to her geek specialisms: “High-street fashion and eBay.”
