...Well, Chekov I only joined a couple of years ago.<br /><br />Damn. You don't think the two things are related, do you?<br /><br />In other news... Netroots. Hmmm. Held in central London and peopled by every liberal media whore you can think of. What could possibly go wrong? I'm tending towards MF's view on this. It's not just useless, it's harmful.<br /><br />If your chosen brand of activism relies on a BlackBerry and a Twitter feed, then it's already formed the circle and has its dicks out. That well-known car manufacturer, Sunny Hyundai (I knew him when he was Sunny Datsun) says that this won't be people just standing up and wailing grievances, but a look at the next steps. Then Toynbee stands up and does exactly what Hyundai says they won't. Never mind, she's old. Someone can explain it to her later.<br /><br />One of the invitees was Hope Not Hate, which owes its success to the cutting-edge ploy of arguing on doorsteps and talking to voters. That didn't require a Twitter feed or an iPhone, even it used them. It's like ascribing the success of Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech to the sound system. Yeah, sure his words would have been the same but no one would have been able to hear him. It was the sound system wot won it.<br /><br />The other thing I noticed today is that calls for the Graun to stick the boot into Atos Origin continue to go unanswered. Would that be (a) because it was a New Labour who introduced it in the first place and the Graun is loath to take aim at the coalition and wing the opposition or (b) there's an Islington (Guardian/New Labour) consensus that - unpalatable though it might be - there are many loafers and shirkers on the dole/IB and they need a boot up the arse, in a caring socially democratic way of course.<br /><br />I'm tending towards (b).RapidEddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066395034929484320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-26899562309069721052011-01-12T00:17:50.688+00:002011-01-12T00:17:50.688+00:00@RapidEddie: I thought you were smart enough to kn...@RapidEddie: I thought you were smart enough to know that the CIF ship was sunk a few years ago!chekhovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579841013364541334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-83132690632997892102011-01-11T23:55:34.573+00:002011-01-11T23:55:34.573+00:00"Only I'd just like to point out that gen..."Only I'd just like to point out that genuflection is anathema to a Yorkshire woman such as myself."<br /><br />Well said MsChin, keep up the good work, we need more people like you!chekhovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579841013364541334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-4368602626654120542011-01-11T23:37:54.955+00:002011-01-11T23:37:54.955+00:00Yes, goodnight MsChin and all.

Conservative cabinet ministers have been speculating that the Tories could stand down in Clegg's Sheffield Hallam constituency to give him a clear run in 2015".<br /><br />Don't be daft - Sheffield Hallam was Tory from 1885 - 1997 except for a liitle blip in WW1 when it went Liberal for a couple of years.
