On Saturday I checked into Eurealist and found that the blog had become corrupted, no problem I hear you both cry, just reload your back up copy of the template and you will up and running in no time, A wat! Oh yes, I did back up the template some months ago whoops! So I have been mucking about with the template, eventually I have got it sort of sorted, I hope. I took the opportunity to re-assess my blog listings, some no longer worked, others had ceased to be updated, also there were a few new ones, I have added.

Not Little England full name Great Britain not Little England is one such, I do not know why I have not put a link in before, well I do actually, it is the same reason that prevented me creating a backup of the template, my wife calls it laziness Hu!

I really do not know what she’s on about, I mean I was working on the template in my nice warm office with a glass of wine beside me yesterday evening, whist she was enjoying herself, scrambling about under the Mahonia? bush in the freezing cold rodding the drains (the Ladies lo had become clogged again).

Anyway MatGB at not Little England has recently started a Blog movement, to oust this government, a coalition of the willing to remove our dangerously authoritarian government. I am happy to support this laudable endeavour, but would caution that removeing this government will not in itself cause a reversal of the authoritarian policies of the TB GB mob. No we need to be very specific that we the people of Great Britian have had just about enough authoritarianism to last for quite a while, we need to make that very clear to those who would stand in Blair’s shoes and we must not allow ourselves to be fobbed off with sweet words from honed tongues.

Another one of the blog list additions is Gav`s Politics, Gav`s take on the Coalition of the willing is worth copying because he put into words some of that which has been rolling around in my head for the past few weeks, that I do not seem to be able to get a handle on:

“MatGB seems to have set a Indiana Jones-type ball rolling… First I agreed, tentatively, to support a coalition of the willing to remove our dangerously authoritarian government, and now we have a British Constitution effort.

My response is this:

An important aspect that must not be forgotten if we’re to look at this at a UK level is the inequity caused by devolution and especially the Scottish Raj.
As Bishop Hill said (though not in these words) yesterday we must be very careful about creating a Constitution that enshrines a partisan political view. The EU Constitution, IMHO, made that mistake.”
