Blogging Nick Robinson AutoCorrects
Nick Robinson is a reader of this blog and took the hint and has clarified his "bombshell" comments. He doesn't link to this blog in his blog, yet quotes from it, a major breach of netiquette you might say, but Guido is forgiving. Since the Ashley Cole case the Dead Tree Press (and the broadcast media) have become nervous about referring to, or directly linking readers and listeners to writ-risky websites. Hence the vague references to "political websites" rather than Guido or Iain Dale. Journalists are actually ringing Guido up for quotes, which they then attribute to an unnamed "controversial political website".We need a better legal precedent, media lawyers are scaring media executives into restricting journalists from referring to risk taking bloggers. Hence the ridiculous situation with so-called blogs being established by the old media which don't allow comments (Trevor) or don't allow links to other websites (Adam Boulton). The Telegraph and the Guardian at least have proper blogs. The former is as boring as hell (comments : 0), the latter is noisier (comments : mad).
And finally, as to the question most journos have called to ask: no, lawyers have not been in touch. So go on, do it...

T'would be brilliant to be round at Chequers this weekend. AC (for it is he who still runs the country) and TB will be circling... deciding which one to sacrifice. Which one to through to the dogs. One of them has to go.
But which one?
Prescott? He punched a man and got waway with it, so an affair is hardly a sackable offence.
Clarke? The popular choice, but TB likes him. And who would replace him?
Hewitt? Won't change anything and public don't care.
Levy? Ahh ha! Oh no, he knows where the bodies are.
Hmmm. One of them has to go.
BBC can't put a link without 'BBC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OF OTHER WEBSITES' in massive letters, so it's probably best that Nick Robinson does not link, so that he does not break up the flow of his lovely prose...
Why would we want a free press in this country? Its so much more fun for the rest of us!
As Nick Robinson is a reader of this blog, please may I point out to him that he is a cunt?
According to The Times today, Prescott on the edge as ex-mistress sells story for £250,000:
Mr Prescott has taken advice from friends such as Rosie Winterton, the Health Minister...
Always handy to have a shoulder to cry on...
Guido - you are on the money with this one. The sooner the c*nts realise that the future is here (Ian Dale not quite the same) the sooner we will get proper accountability as opposed to the usual bollocks of press lobby sh*t etc. PC is the ruination of modern journalism - it is the past and you Guido, my son, are the future.
Right back to the Charas...
in his bombshell post i added a comment:
so, what more 'long-term open secrets' about our elected politicians are you, an employee of a public service, keeping from the us, the electorate?
it hasn't been approved...
Note in the papers today. Prezza has promised no other affiars "since 1997".
RW is safe.
of course lawyers haven't been in touch. I have been blogging for ages, saying things which would be grossly defamatory if they were not true and there has been silence. I have been enjoying myself immensely. They can't do a thing. Look at the Mazher Mahmood thing - if you injunction something it pops up somewhere else. They can't control us, yippee!
somebody help me do links,I can't do them.

Tim, she is not safe, she was Head of Office for John Prescott MP, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party from 1994-1997.
Sounds like John Reid's another Labour minister who's had a blow this week too... :-)
Guido maybe prezza "withdrew his deposit" on the eve of the election?
Well someone has finally published the actual name of the alleged bit on the side.....
See it at http://www.backingblair.co.uk/weblog.html
Corporate Blogs... "Clogs", I beleive they are called.
Keep up the good work
Robinson is a smug Tory superannuated tittle tattling hack who gossips at the considerable expense of the license payer.
