The jewel in the crown of Samizdata.net
A blog for people with a critically rational individualist perspective. We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR

Another politician has a blog
Johnathan Pearce (London)  Blogging & Bloggers

Veteran Labour MP, fierce opponent of the European Union and one of the more congenial politicians, Austin Mitchell, has his own blog. Mitchell is a pretty outspoken MP, and though his mixed-economy Keynsian economic views are hopelessly wrong-headed and out of date, he is one of the more independent minded MPs in our rather colourless political landscape.

I had a brief look at his blog and it should be good to read, though Austin had better be prepared for how fellow bloggers will be ready and willing to 'fact-check his ass' at a moment's notice.

Come on you Tory MPs, get a blog!

The link doesn't work.

Try this one.

Are there any blogging lords? There are more of them and they have the opportunity for wider interests and freer opinions.

Guy Herbert, thank you. This one works. It's a mess, but it's a website.

Calling your site a blog does not make it a blog... if you cannot link to articles then you cannot really be said to be in the blogosphere.

It is not really a blog.

Blimey, it should come with sunglasses! :-)

Just love the "slightly out of focus" look :)

No Tory MP is enough of a prick to run a "blog".
