No Irfan Ahmed? Oooh, the floor is cold and lonely :(
You need to include that guy at least once Iain. His posts are an absolute HOLOCAUST. It's like a car crash in slow motion, but I can't stop looking and shaking my head....
Re Ed Vaizey's blog, I think you'll find that it was the Daily Mail that is calling Wantage "Credit Crunch Central" and that Ed believes the area is "dynamic" and "well placed to weather this recession". Please ensure that you get it right next time - we in the Wantage area have enough trouble without you and the Daily Mail casting aspersions on our town!!
Reckon people want update? Sorted it yeah?
O/T Has Tom Watson closed his blog?

Oh sorry he is on holiday! Can't think of any other reason!!
I think blog-analysis has got it wrong. It is not blogs themselves that represent the change but the comments below them. Ali Campbell and Charlie Whelan both put articles up about and were duely attatcked by critical saturatrd cluster bombs of comments. In the old days people like the BBC could publish stories and the public would give them the benefit of the doubt. Today the BBC doesn't allow comments on all it's political stories simply because they wouldn't shouted down by the public as propagandists.
Tory high command need to ask what is the point of political stories being published by the BBC if nobody believes them and worse think the BBC editors are incapable of telling it straight. The BBC news arm needs to be removed as it is no longer capable of fullfilling it's function.
When nick Robinson starts his last blog with the line "Gordon is the economic saviour ..." and then goes onto to explain why he said that and then close for comments and go on holiday it shows a man who is no longer fit to do his job.
Totally agree with Lobbydog. Just when the Damien Green affair was to come public news once again, A Campbell and P Mendelson advised Gordon the Clown that it was the best time to say 'sorry', of cousre, desgined to divert attention for Jacqui Smith sorry handling of the whole affair. Typical opportunist spin by NuLabour, it disgusts me.
"Lobbydog is yapping..."
Lobbydog barks, howls, bites and occasionally sniffs around in smelly places - he leaves the yapping to MPs.
Has you website actually been attacked now Iain? or is the comment approval a precaution...
It hasn't been attacked, but Ireland has threatened on his own blog to organise a campaign to bombard it with spurious comments.
He is of course denying any intent to attack the blog in any other way than through the comments, now.
