Identity Crisis? Who Am I? Life as a non-aligned blog
There was a wonderful affirmation of the independence of this blog this weekend.
In one day I have been called both “Tory blogger” and “my lefty friend”.
Excellent! I love it.
From Ministry of Truth:
there are actually some very good Tory bloggers out there, of whom I can happily recommend Mr Eugenides, Bel and Matt Wardman as being well worth a read if, like me, you prefer your political opponents to be honest, authentic and intelligent.
From John over at the indefatigable TV License Resistance, commenting on an article where I dare to defend the BBC in response to a broadside on Up Front on 18 Doughty Street (direct media link) where Donal Blaney was having a go at the BBC. You need to look about 5 minutes into the programme.
John said:
I’d also like to point out its only your opinion that the BBC is better value than Sky and Sky don’t force you to pay a subscription fee just for watching live transmissions my leftie friend.
(apparently liking the BBC makes me a political southpaw).
Wonderful.
For the record, I call it “centre right non-party aligned“.
Perhaps I need an identity card and some thought control.

It must be difficult to be non-aligned.
There’s far less need to be responsibble.
Or else you can be “everywhere aligned’.
Wouldn’t that be declaring myself a Lib Dem :*?
Perhaps I need [...] some thought control.
I thought you said you *weren’t* getting Sky. Don’t waver now, man.
Cheer, Transit
I have BBC and free to air satellite only !!
