She says nasty things about Alex Salmond, one of my political heroes, but I respect and defend her freedom of opinion! Last year there was a blog consensus that the blogosphere would stand up to rich people trying to bully individual bloggers when Asmanov went after Bloggerheads , where is that blog support for Kez?

Formula oneFrom: davidcornock.blogspot.com

Today’s Telegraph reports that Gordon Brown has asked the Chancellor, Alistair Darling, to review the Barnett formula, which as any political anorak will tell you decides much public spending in Wales and Scotland. The Telegraph say No 10 told them that the review - denied by Downing Street - would "inform the debate". It would certainly offer a chance for people in Wales to influence the debate, although the greatest pressure to review the formula comes not from Scotland or Wales. Th...
