Blogging

Wonder of wonders

I don't know if anybody's still tapping into my blog, but if you are, then welcome to what's possibly the quietest party online.

I've just had an article in the Jewish Chronicle about Orthodox blogs, of which this isn't one, and there are some nice strong reactions from Orthomum and Chayei Sarah. Glad to see that somebody's reading. The article itself has been kindly posted at http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1692/991/1600/JCClipping.1.jpg .

Ok. So here's a comment for you. Two big ironies in the world at the moment; Ken Livingstone has been debarred as London Mayor for blatant antisemitism while David Irving is languishing in an Austrian jail for blatant antisemitism. Jews are divided over both of these punishments, questioning whether it is actually better for the cause that these high profile people have such public reprimands.
I don't have a great political opinion on it but when I saw Red Ken's face on the
6 'o clock news, it made me cheer out loud in front of the telly.

There's the voice of mature democracy for you.
