Forward to the Web Revolution

I'm getting hits from Canada and Algeria from people searching for Damian Mcbride. Hopefully they aren't from politicians wanting to hire him. So anyway, some of my readers are clearly interested in politics but are too shy to comment.

In case any of you missed it, my take on McBride is this: the Tories are utter scum, and there's loads of political ammunition available. What socialists shouldn't do is reach for gossip about people's private lives, especially false allegations. Let's just tell people what the Tories are actually like - arrogant, vicious, self-interested individualists who would serve up granny's mechanically-recovered spinal tissue as burgers to their children if it won them a vote. We all know that the Labour government (as opposed to the party members) are collectively addicted to the meanest, most selfish facets of conservatism, but we needn't decline to the state where we take Guido Fawkes and his ilk as a model of progressive campaigning.

How does one find out such information i.e. location of readers? Interesting nonetheless.

As for MacBride, my blog tried to flummox how he thought his lies would be effective.

I would encourage the friend of his who said the ideas were 'brilliant' to explain himself or at least be interviewed.

Did you catch 'Henry VIII: The Mind of Tyrant' presented by David Starkey that I wrote of? Marvellous, I thought.

I use a program called Google Analytics, Demon, but I eagerly await and see what magic the Vole conjures up re. his stat-porn

Ah thank you very much, Ewarwoowar. Looking forward to Porto away? We shall murder them.. hopefully anyway. With Rio returning, our defence may now look formidable at least.

I use Site Meter (link at the bottom of the page).
You can talk about Champions League football on your own pages until Stoke qualify next year.

Derek Draper is the friend. He disgraced himself selling access to top New Labour figures in the early days, went away for a few years then returned claiming to be reformed and mature. Now this.
