Charlie Beckett: Left Wing Bloggers Are Dull
POLITICAL bloggers:
It seems to me that the Leftwing blogosphere is as knackkered as Gordon Brown’s poll ratings.
I have just been to (half - I had to get back home early, I am a single parent) a meeting where Sunny Hundal had been trying to find common ground with a group of leftish bloggers.
At times it felt like a digital re-enactment of that scene in Life of Brian: “No we’re the people’s front of Judea” etc.
The Online Socialists have various problems.
No-one reads them. Guido Fawkes and his wicked Right-wing pals are far more entertaining and they know how to write for an online audience: scurriously, succinctly, directly. They are much more committed and actually contribute facts, stories and vitriol to the debate.
It’s about vanity…

Had a quick look, pity the comments are confined to the net and not in the Press!!!!
