Civil Serf Blogger Code of Conduct: I have the solution

I’ve solved this problem.

Let us make them follow the precedent of the Ministerial Code of Practice (pdf) introduced by the Blair-Brown government.

And the ultimate authority for deciding whether the blogger broke the code should - following this Ministerial precedent - be … the blogger themselves. And for any breach, an apology should suffice as remedy.

Sorted.

That’ll keep our Civil Service Ethical and Sleaze Free.

That’s actually not a bad model. There are a few of them as I recall. Certainly one for special advisors as well. Must give them a look when I get in the office. Thanks for the idea.

It’s a pleasure, Jeremy, .

Why not get TB to write it while he’s teaching ethics at Harvard..

As a PS, I wonder if it will more purchase as an argument for a minimalist solution.
