Why the Greens dominate Bristol's online politics | Bristol24-7
"what they bring to the table are some basic journalistic instincts that the other parties either lack or are withholding. These qualities might be raw but they include natural curiosity; an eye for a story; the desire to dig beneath the surface; a willingness to question authority; disdain for the ‘party line’ and that quality Paxman summed up as, “why is this lying bastard lying to me?”.

My only prediction for 2010 and it ain’t pretty
"I would like to think that people are smart enough to see the coming danger – especially those of us in the tech industry – and do something to stem this tide.
