No Guido, no Iain and a bunch of people I've never even heard of, let alone read?
I smell a rat.
We are in the Right of Centre Blog list which will be published in the week commencing 1 Sept.
Why on earth is Ben Brogan so popular? For a start he spends most of his life on holiday - and when he's not on hoiday he's on freebie trips with the PM. The best description I read of Brogan was that 'he rose without trace'. I don't trust the man.
What a strange list Iain. Maguire popular - he's an idiot,together with White and Nick Robinson all are NuLab cheerleaders. - if there is still a list to come whats it all about - thought is was a list of ALL blogs? If you and Guido dont come out on top its a fix in which stop promoting these silly things
The main poll will be published in the week beginning 5 Sept. Up to then I am publishing category charts.
I would wonder if the IP addresses that the votes have come from are all different!
I would also wonder! If they were all different, did any of those IP’s come from a known proxy address!
Just wonder'd :-)
My god the BBC Wales taffia must have spent ages voting for themselves in order to have no fewer than three of their sorry tribe included in this list.
One of those blogs is in Welsh, another never ever attracts any comments and the third is written by someone with a silly made-up name who knows jack shit about politics.
You know who you are boyos.
Dammit. If I'd have known I had a chance of getting in the top 30 I'd have mentioned the poll. Or voted for myself. Or something.
Thanks anyway,
David Ottewell
