Re: Euroblogs (none / 1)

Tim Worstall ? Sorry, but he manages to conjure up a sense of sneering-at-everything in his posts. I accept that may be an unfortunate means of expression as his Britblog roundup is a very inclusive thing, tho I notice it prominently features mostly rightish contributions.

Also, his commenters have a tendency to avoiding examing issues and simply deciding right or wrongness. I appreciate he cannot be held responsible for his commenters views, but blogs tend to accumulate the audience they deserve.

Maybe I am maligning him and his intentions, but reading his posts makes me feel tired.

Re: Euroblogs (none / 0)

I actually agree with most of that, I don't mean to recommend Timmy (or No Parasan, or any number of Eurosceptics for that matter). He has the occasional insight, but overall he's too caustic. I mentioned him because he calls himself a Euronihilist and does post about Europe occasionally, but too little to be a European blog.

it's interesting how sometimes sirnames seem so uncannily accurate with regard to character...
