One wonders if the political staff (as opposed to the WAG civil service) are also blocked from reading political blogs. The mindset about blogging needs to change. While the openness I'd like to see probably isn't going to be universally accepted in the near future, it'd be something if the powers-that-be realised that blogs, for the most part, aren't a problem unless you make them a problem. xD.

I was bounced from Facebook months ago for the same reason and yet saw many that had obviously made up screen names. Most of us have these, as if we expressed what we say under our own names, we would be economically disadvantaged, Those of us in the private sector, where we are suppliers of goods and services to government, local and WAG, and often wider would be commercially blacklisted by some in influential positions. This is often the case with the voluntary and community secctors, where organisations have lost funding if they "upset" a minister or an offical.
