The end of the Blog.

After a lot of thought I've decided to put the blog on indefinite hold. Partly because with a busy life, lots of commitments and an active family, it's hard to find the time to write good - both interesting and well-researched - articles consistently. And partly because I don't have so much of general interest to write about. National issues are more than adequately covered by commentators that I'm sympathetic to; local issues are discussed in detail elsewhere, and of course not being a councillor denies me one good source of material. The comments facility has been a bit of a disappointment, with only one article provoking any interest - apart from Russian spammers. Still, it's been fun most of the time, frustrating some of the time, and it's been a good learning experience. I'm still hoping to write from time to time, but it's not going to be in diary form.

Thanks for reading!
