Blogger Of The Week

I don't seem to have handed out many 'rocks' recently, so let me announce that Niall Connolly rocks! Via Captain FF, this article from the BBC:

Councillors in a rural town have staged a mass walkout after becoming fed up with criticism from a blogger. Former vice chairman Anthony Canvin said 11 of Somerton Town Council's 15 members resigned on Tuesday. On his Muck&Brass blog Niall Connolly called members "jackasses" and said a leaflet was "like a Nazi call to arms"...

When I read the BBC article yesterday evening, it included words to the effect that the BBC couldn't contact Mr Connolly, which would be totally bizarre, seeing as he posts under his real name, allows comments and even publishes an email address. The BBC have removed that bit and even added a link to his Muck&Brass 'blog (which must have done wonders for his hits).

So whatever Mr Ferguson's particular gripe is (it all seems very technical), let us raise a glass in his direction (not right now, obviously, it's not even lunchtime).
