Blogging for a year now and I’ve been tagged, by Tom P over at Labour and Capital (he’s, err, Labour - I think). Which three bloggers do I agree with on almost everything?


“Pick one that most closely mirrors your own personal philosophy, one that most closely mirrors your politics and one that offers the most consistently attractive analysis."

Hmm – I have had healthy disagreements with everyone, not least the good Mr “short oil & gold” Unslicker. But for three different blends of the three criteria, particularly the attractive analysis, I shall go with:

Sackerson at Bearwatch – who comes and goes periodically (active at the moment, happily) but whose basic rationality and humanity beckon to a safe haven in turbulent times

Hatfield Girl at Angels in Marble, whose constitutionalist thesis is subtle but powerful: she elaborates it with a light touch and much art – and after 18 months following it on comments and blogs I believe I am beginning to grasp where she’s leading

The Raedwald of Raedwald – unfailing gentleman and scholar, (if a little optimistic on the potential of localism).

OK. So now my taggees. Blue-eyes, ElectroKevin and Tuscany Tony. All occasional visitors here; all chaps who in very different ways offer us humanity, and truth as they see it. And some tall tales

  3. To be mentioned with Sackerson and Raedwald - and by ND.

    I shall write a book, plant a garden (or drive others to do so), and stop winging it.

  5. Don't take this the wrong way but I avoid complete agreement with anyone on the grounds that it’s a slippery slope to sloppiness. Besides I love a good argument with an old friend.

  6. But I do take it the wrong way !

    (did you want the 5-minute argument, or the full 15 ?)

    Nick: My contribution was made on the first day, but it seems to have gone very quiet on that thread since. Nobody else seems interested in your products. I regret we are not in a position to improve our original offer.
