! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
Nick Robinson’s blog on the BBC News website had some coverage of Boris getting himself into trouble.
I posted a couple of comments, one of them explaining what Boris meant to say about the Ignorant Jock not being suitable for Prime Minister and one of them debunking the oft-peddled myth that North Sea oil subsidises England. Imagine my surprise today when I tried to post a comment explaining why the British Conservative government of the 80’s and 90’s governing North Britain with a minority is completely different to the post-devolution British Labour government governing England with a minority and was greeted by a message saying I wasn’t allowed to post comments!

“Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any blogs except the blogs that nobody reads.”
Ohhhhh, that’s it then Wonko. An MI5 file has just been opened on you….. Your codename is now ‘The Telford Talibanner’
Give me the link to that blog, I’m going to write a couple of words there 😉
