I’ve just become Forbes’ first paid blogger in Europe.
I make the disclosure of payment because it’s important to do so and not because it’s a lot!
My first blog in this new guise will be soon after 1 June.
And under the agreement with Forbes what I write about is entirely up to me.
I will, of course, be linking to the Forbes material from here.
And no doubt there will be those who will take opportunity to comment. Which on this occasion will amuse me, because that will help increase the remuneration. Now that’s going to create a dilemma for some.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Forbes – as in flat-tax proposals and “neolibertarian” – or is that a different Forbes?
This raises the interesting question of whether I might charge commission for my comments, say 15%? Subject to quidance procedures, of course, there must be a limit to my whinges about football.

Richard,
Forbes is a neo-liberal.
In your famous words: You know absolutely nothing about selling out!
Sure as hell is
And I won’t be kind to him
Biut if he wants to give me a platform I’ll use it
I won’t change the message
They know what they’re getting
