Quite a convenient title, given the present situation in Downingstreetgate, however, I must confess that this story relates to a different email, one that I received, and am about to leak here. It was sent to me from the book publishers The Friday Project, and offering me a book deal. It states: "I found your blog via a comment you left on Rachel North London's blog (we're publishing her book) and it struck me that your's is a fascinating story". The Friday Project's slogan reads "turning the best of the web into the finest of books", (please note the Fink, as you appear to have let this slip through your fingers on your web grab).
Recently, The Wife In The North has got a book deal. I am sure that when the web and blogs took off that this kind of development was not envisaged, simply because it is an alternative means of communication from the mainstream. However, this cross over is not just restricted to books. For example, Iain Dale of 18doughtystreet.com the internet TV station has also recently been popping up here, there and everywhere on terrestrial TV. I suppose it is a bit like the indy film companies who start out being separate and then become so successful that they end up becoming absorbed into the mainstream.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
Congratualtions!
