Well, I was at the Orwell Prize event to hear the shortlist for the bloggers. And was pleased to hear good mate and comrade Madam Miaow making the shortlist. Hurrah (and I told you MM that you would make the shortlist!!!) So missed most of the ‘debate’ between the 3 leaders and have been told that I didn’t miss that much.
Must admit the shortlist political debate sent me into slumber though was jolted me from my slumber was listening to some right-winger who Helena Kennedy described as ‘deeply irritating’… Absolutely.
So well done as well to Penny Red for making the short-list. And to Paul Lewis from The Guardian for making the journalism shortlist. Though commiserations to the excellent book, The Spirit Level which didn’t make the book shortlist.
