James O'Malley: Event Log

Westminster Skeptics - Political Blogging

On February 8th, I went to Westminster Skeptics in the Pub, where they’d invited Paul Staines (Guido), Jonathan Isaby (ConHome), Sunny Hundal (LibCon), Mick Fealty (Slugger O’Toole) and non-blogger Nick Cohen to talk about whether political blogging actually matters.

As you might have guessed, I loved it all, as a political blogging nerd, and a card-carrying skeptic. I also got to meet Pod Delusion contributor Mark Thompson (not THAT one) for the first time.

There’s probably many better accounts of the evening on the internet, so this is really a note to say that I WAS THERE.
