Blimpish || a Tory

Well, I found one example of somebody asking for me to come back, anyway.  Maybe I’ve just got bored.  Maybe there’s an election on the way in a year or eighteen months’ time.  But anyway, about three years after I stopped, I have decided to start blogging again.

This is quite possibly a mistake.  I stopped blogging for many reasons, partly because I decided other uses of my time were more valuable.  But I have watched in awe as blogging actually started, seemingly, to matter a lot more – and maybe was a little envious about it all.

Times have changed in other ways; I stopped blogging shortly after Dave got elected as Tory leader, when the Party was still far, far away from the whiff of power.  Right-wing blogging was strong in the context of the time, but has become dominant since…  although I can’t help but worry that the triumphalism bred by a Government on the run hasn’t always ben positive in its consequences – the dominance sometimes to based on quantity above quality.  I guess I’ve changed too, having been very much anti-Dave (well, pro-the-other-Dave) in the leadership election, I’ve become a lot more positive about the man - although at once nervous as to the fragility (frailty?) of his project.  But hey, plenty of time for that.
