My site stats suggest that this blog has passed the 600,000 reader mark.
Not bad in 23 months.
Thanks to all who have been here.

I loved this, written by Francine McKenna on her great blog:
The views on this blog are mine alone (because it’s all about me), and not the views of any of the various plain vanilla white guys that I have worked for over the years. I expressly abdicate responsibility for any liability of any kind or […]

I note that the Far Right blog community are very upset with me tonight and are visiting this site in droves.
The want to defend their friends in the Tax Payer’s Alliance, about whom I have written.
As usual they’re doing so by offering abuse. You should see some of the stuff I’m deleting!
It seems they’re incredibly […]

I believe that the email distribution of this blog has resumed.
Might those who receive this blog by email let me know if this is true?
Thanks

I’ve just read my site stats for Monday. 3,000 reads that day. That’s a record.

I also know that is true.

Are young people interested in politics? Certainly there are […]
Courtesy of Dennis Howlett, I discovered a new service that might be useful to readers of this blog. It’s called Odiogo and converts the text I write to speech.
At the top of each post you’ll see a small button called ‘Listen Now.’ When clicked you can listen to what was written instead of reading, and […]

The blog entry immediately before this one is called My del.icio.us bookmarks for January 7.
Every day I read many more than 100 web articles. Maybe 10% are interesting. I’d like to blog them. I can’t, not with a full entry.
So I’m going to use Del.icio.us to keep a track of them, and draw attention to […]
