Brown aide quits ove…wow, boy catches fish!

For a while now I’ve been getting the LunchtimeLists from this site. Although I hardly post comments, and have only posted one other blog here before, I enjoy reading all the great stuff on the site and appreciate the work Derek Draper does for the online Left community.

After first hearing about these stories of recent events, I was a tad worried about the effect it could have not only on LabourList, but on the Labour party as a whole. However, reading into it (and please don’t take this as me being insensitive to those involved), is there really much of a story in this, or is it just Easter?

Two guys, okay one working for the government at the time, sending emails about a possible, I did put possible in bold, idea of setting up a “gossip” site to combat what was already in place for the right wing, and then scrapping that idea. I must ask, where is the story exactly?

Fair enough it was a stupid idea, but if I wanted this kind of thing I could pick up a selection of tabloid newspapers or go on other more right wing sites via the internet. So why is the news coverage continuing on from their initial “story” from the Sunday papers and criticising other parts of the media or others blogs?

Deary me, the boy holding two fish on the front of the Observer (Scottish version) seemed to have more potential of being an interesting article than this main story. “Boy Catches Fish” should have been in big letters across the front of the paper instead, as it had the possibility of keeping me awake if that were on page five instead of this snooze piece!

Am I just being miserable perhaps and want to moan?

I realy should put a conclusion…
