This is a LibDem Advert Free Zone

This banner ad is appearing on a lot of blogs via MessageSpace, but not mine. Strange I thought, why not? After all I've been outspoken in my opposition to the David Maclean FOI bill. I then clicked on it and the reason became clear. It's a Liberal Democrat advert, not that you'd know it until you clicked on it. I'd have thought they would have found it highly amusing to have a Libdem advert on my blog - but they don't do humour, these LibDems, do they?!

Anyway, just though I'd display the ad for free. I'm nice like that.

Iain, perhaps it is because we are not bacnkrolled by Lord Ashcroft and have to target our ads ?

No, Iain, you're not being 'nice like that' at all. You're having a quick shot at the Lib Dems to satisfy your Tory chums. If you were being nice, you'd make sure the click-through worked :P But then again, I guess you have to pay for the privilege?

What advert?

Thanks for the free advert Iain :-)

I'd like to claim this was a cunning plan to sucker you into giving our adverts some free publicity, but the reality is that you're on the list; the ads just haven't quite got to you yet.

Aren't they supposed to be saving up to pay back £2.4 million of illegal campaign donations ? Perhaps they should blog for free and see if anyone wants to read what they have to say.

Whilst we all applaud your stance re:gratuitous swearing and weirdo posters, don't you think that imposing comment moderation and then going off for the evening kinda kills the dynamic of your blog, Iain?

Anonymous, my fault entirely. I had intended to switch off comment moderation when I went to do Sky, but forgot. Many apologies.

Mark, anything to oblige!

Apology accepted Iain.

Anyone would think that you owned this blog!

Oh yes they do, they just don't know when they're doing it!

LibbyDems are the masters of unintentional humour! Readers of LDV can contrast the humourless Rob Fenwick ( but it's not all bad- he's an alright bit of totty) to Stephen Tall ( but don't mention bins)- who actually has a sense of humour- and a good sense of when to skedaddle from a looming disaster ( ie) Oxford City's Budgets)!

O/T: I've just been reading the profile of Gordon Brown in "The Telegraph." Apparently his nursery school teacher was a "Miss Bogie" -you couldn't make it up.

Many of us link to you Iain, so we must have a sense of humour.
