And another thing…

Congratulations and hope you carry on to 60000, but.

It is unfortunate that what appears to be happening is a constant attack on any blog which the Labour party could call a rival. This is evident mostly with the nationalist blogs. Admitted that two of the most extreme blogs had gone too far this cannot be said to what has happened to Subrosa.

Mr Harris you are in the open and I admire this but a lot of the bloggers prefer to have a pseudo name and to have this political conciousness as apart from there lives. A blog lives because people will say what they mean and that freedom of speech and trust has now been severely damaged today.

I hope your blog continues to greater things but as things stand it will become less and less safe for those of a different political persuasion to risk talking with other parties and that can only lead to more and more insular politics.

Virtual congratulations!

Hope the virtual party is not too disputatious and xerox machine key has been locked safely away . . .

Congrats, Tom. In fact I think we should indulge also in an orgy of congrats to all commenters (even Quietzapple) who have contributed to making the 30,000th one happen – it might encourage the Silent Ones to comment and you’ll reach the 50,000 mark in record time!

I do hope you don’t get in trouble, Tom, for encouraging James to drink too many ‘virtual’ alcohol units.

That might go against government recommendations, even if he isn’t drinking more than his state-mandated number of ‘real’ alcohol units.

Yes, I know it’s almost Christmas, but I thought I’d better do my bit to save society from those evil drinkers…baaah, humbug!

Congratulations to both James O’Malley and Tom.

It’s refreshing to know that as you’ve only ever rejected one comment from me (on grounds of possible libel) that you don’t consider my comments too stupid to publish.(there, that’s an open goal if ever there was one )

Congratulations Mr Harris! Does one need an invite to this virtual party, or can anyone come? Can I bring virtual friends?

Almost one million Scots are unable to read and write properly, according to an influential group of educationalists who have called for an overhaul of the country’s approach to literacy.

So double the congratulations

Hoo arr yoo kalling unejucateeed?

Congratulations, Tom. Have any of those comments made you change your views, or at least left you seriously doubting what you held to be true?

Goodness I think that makes me the 30,010th poster – am honoured!

It’d be the 31,000th if you’d not blocked a thousand of mine.

You really *must* let people criticie Princess Tony.

I suppose you’ve blocked this one as well.

I was asking a serious question, Tom. I wondered if we, your faithful followers, have changed your views, or is it all just a waste of time?

I have read so many convincing comments, for example, regarding the growing police state and the dangers of remaining in the EU, that I wonder how you have managed to remain immune to such reasoning.

your innermost thoughts

Pah!!!

I bet you have absolutely no idea what makes me really fume, and has smoke pouring out of my ears.

MPs. Who needs ‘em?

I have been disappointed that 2 (so far as I recall) of my posts re the Alternative Policeless State, in which people can be planted in the Civil Service to spy on their departments, illegally intercept emails to the purposes of their paymasters, libel using blogs owned by companies registered in the WIndies, steal and buy information which was the property of the H o C, libel in Newspapers and not print retractions of any size & etc have not appeared.

This may be because I am inclined to link these to specific billionaires, who seem to be based abroad.

C’est la vie.

“…I wondered if we, your faithful followers, have changed your views, or is it all just a waste of time?…”

I think his foes will continue to find his views immutable, his soul implacable and his good sense intolerable.

Effin’ virtual sycophants . . . on virtual enos presumably . . .

Are you planning on seeing “Where the Wild Things are” Tom?

I gather Chameleon and Co relented on having a virtual seasonal drinks party in Westminster:

Poor Eric Pickles got into trouble with his a while back.

How many bars lubricate Westminster I wonder?

One might have expected that Chameleon and Osborne, who were members of the notorious and riotous Bullingdon Club would know how to run such an activity Anywhere, but no . . .

Pity my poor country, they have been a rotten opposition. PR may bring the Lib Dems ahead of them, which would be a mixed blessing.
