This blog is for political tittle-tattle, not for solving the Middle East crisis. If you don’t have anything funny to say, go to Comment is Free, LabourHome or ConservativeHome. Please don’t bore on about things here, we have standards.

If your comment posts are not appearing, don’t bother emailing, it is because after the gay Gordon stuff yesterday Guido has had to again put the blog comments on moderation – and will be rejecting the comments of bores and loons. So BNPers, the “I’m not anti-semitic, I’m anti-Zionist” crowd and the tiresome will have to go elsewhere. That includes the “why don’t you do something about [insert earnest topic]“ whines. You want the Indy for that kind of thing.

Remember : Gossip = Good, Wit = Even Better, Bores = Deleted. See here for guidance.
