Open Thread (nearly): Seven ideas for Free-for-all Fridays. Suggestions please.
I’m thinking about what type of posts would be best on the Wardman Wire on Fridays
Since we now have a (fairly) regular posting schedule for the rest of the week, I’m tempted to look for a way of making Fridays less organised, and perhaps give an opportunity for a range of guests to post. The chaos will come out somewhere, so it might as well be somewhere expected…
I have come up with some suggestions, but would welcome any comments you might have.
- Choose a topic and invite impromptu Guest articles for Friday on the preceding Monday.
- As 1, but ask people to respond on their own blogs, and then link to them all with excerpts. To this feels a bit too much like either the Britblog Review or the new “On the Stump” project I have been working on with Jon Bright (more on this soon, perhaps over the weekend or on Monday).
- Invite submissions on any political topic, and run up to half a dozen articles each week.
- Find a Friday columnist - perhaps on a “non UK Politics” theme (foreign policy? a “Letter from Peking”?)
- Go for something that is completely divorced from politics.
- A mixture of all of these.#
- … is in the comments below. I hope.
I’d welcome suggestions and comments, if you would like to add any below.

Ask Frederick Forsyth to deliver a weekly polemic like wot he done on Radio 4 until the lefties got too worried…..
It would certainly enliven the weekend.
STB.
I like the sound of that. “Polemical Platform”.
