As you might expect from someone of my views (that politicians are only good for stretching hemp) my heart fell when I saw the byline "Labour councillor for Sandwell".
However I was wrong since the blog shows considerable evidence of independent and intelligent thought, for example this item on the dazzlingly barmy idea of Caroline Flint that all the unemployed should be made homeless. Or this on the Conway idiot and political funding where he seems to lean towards the "they should do it for nowt in their spare time view" which I heartily applaud.
Even more interesting to me (given the fact Ian Grey is liberally wanging accusations of libel at me) is this about the trouble in blogland about Guido Fawke's less than fragrant past. Details to be found here and here. Now that is what good blogging is all about - sending you to interesting links and making you dig around a bit for the juicy bits.
It almost makes me revise my view of politicians, not quite but he'll be way down the list when I'm handing out the lengths of hemp.
