The Fabian Society blog Next Left is usually turgid. The Fabian Society is on the earnest left but also after sitting through one too many Fabian conferences during my time in the Labour Party I think I must have joined the Conservative Party initially out of boredom rather than anything else (and because I ended up sabotaging Labour campaigning either by going AWOL during a street stall to buy the Spectator or dumping the leaflets in the nearest bin and going Alsatian-scaring instead). Anyway, the last time the Fabians did me any favours - at the Adam Smith Institute - I ended up pulling Michael Howard, so perhaps I have my Tory party career to thank them for.
However it seems to be difficult to leave a comment as an unregistered user on Next Left - it shouldn't be so difficult to correct the odd howler in their sports pages. I can forgive them anything, but being so out of touch that they don't know Chris Hoy's name is worthy of a whole post in their honour.
