Dodgeblogium … bloggers who combine a taste for heavy metal music with a taste for heavy metal politics…

Political links…

A few bit of politics. First of all one of BBC discussion about tax-payers oversight of spending in their regional organisation. Kudos from me for banging on about how they giving loads of money to bloody football clubs in rather taking the piss.

And there is, of course, there row about the outing of Guido Fawkes and the resulting fallout. Iain has called for the “wars” to cease althought I think its highly unlikely his request will be headed with the MSM (as well as Tom Watson & Tim Ireland) stoking the flames with all their might to discredit bloggers. Slugger O’Toole has waded in with a well thought-out piece on our alledged wickedness. Guido naturally has responded in his normal nonchalant way and more power to him.

Of course, YAB is on about how blogs are hurting democracy and we are all bores. YAB is a big defender of the tiny ruling clique/MSM that sit in London and pontificate not bothering a toss for what is actually happening in the real world. Her type are threatened by bloggers who cut through the crap and get down to brash tacks. Too bad the BBC gave her another chance to peddle her bile yesterday.

Oh and for a bit of fun check out this video. Remember every time you eat pork you annoy an Islamist.

Latest Republican straw poll is below, alas they still have not managed to put Ron Paul in their list.

    Andrew, as a fellow contributor and mate, it makes me laugh to see how we bloggers get treated by idiots like YAB, who is paid to write her drivel while we do it for free. The truth is, she is terrified about competition. As well she should be.

    It was a matter of time before Guido got outed. Who cares? Paul has done a fantastic job at his blog and has put a large stick of TNT up the arses of the complacent lobby. That, and that alone, is why the MSM hates him.
