Christ, what a shower of shit. The "open conversation" has now turned into bollock-numbing control-freakery as comments are now pre-moderated, obviously by some shaved chimpanzee who punches buttons at random.
You guys really haven't got a fucking clue about blogging, have you? Iain Dale managed on his own, as does Guido. This exercise in groupthink mutual masturbation can clearly already be called a resounding failure and one-way communication at the little people.
Dolly, I'm sorry. I really tried. You know I did. I wanted to like it, to engage, to spar. But there's no point: your site sucks donkey cock and even if it didn't, the moderation is slow, the content is dull and anodyne and Labour party supporting commentors are so narrow-minded and self-righteous that I'd rather spend the day watching beige paint dry.

You did better than me in even getting past the front page of the site.
I think we all knew what it was going to be like the moment the concept was announced.
Stalinist methods don't work well in the blogosphere, do they? *grin*

They don't want open debate - if you post anything they disagree with it gets put in the trash can.
Waste of time - I see you riled them though - good.
If he or they won't engage in discussion on the blog then it's not a blog. It's just a very one sided forum. OK pre moderation I understand because if they didn't they would sink under a torrent of much deserved abuse. But if it is going to be turgid discussion over 5 days then the original cut and thrust will simply evaporate. It is going to be just a Labour back slapping forum of self congratulation. They have no time for plebs.
Has my comment about the Penguin and the flying formation of pigs gone up yet?
Henry: I can't see anything.
Thank you! Your message has been sent to the administrator
Nah I registered as my Dobermann dog and asked some rather pointed questions
It was deleted meaning they dont have the robustness of being able to take criticism
Did that comment also go to Dear Dolly?
Which comment was that, oh lovely one?
Not a blog. Just advertising. Love to know who's paying for it.
Ha, we don't care
We now have your IP address.
Await the knock from the fingermen.
They just don't seem to get it. At all. It's not just the comment moderation (which is so one sided and pointless) but to say about a viral video - 'now remember to send it to all your friends'?!? The point about a viral video is people WANT to send it to their friends, and do so by free choice, not because someone told them to. It demonstrates the Labour mindset so clearly!
And have they got anything on their that isn't just an anti-conservative rant yet?
Pointless shite so far.
If we're being scrupulously fair, it is only reasonable to note that (a) it is very early days, (b) the site is still in Beta mode, and (c) it sucks more ass than an Albanian whore.
Chick Yog describes it best: "Propaganda ghetto". Stale, sub-prime, Tory-bashing boilerplate.
Maybe it'll turn into an actual community of lefties having actual discussions, but at the moment it's just a lifeless Politburo echo-chamber.
@ Mr E: I defer to your greater knowledge of Albanian whores. :o)
Is the site still running? I'd thought they would have given up on it by now!
Still haven't been persuaded to visit the 'darkside' and nothing I've read here and abouts has changed that.
Moderation isn't so bad - if you work quickly. But these daft cunts are taking up to 6 or 7 hours to moderate them.
They don't get it, do they?
In fairness, it is pretty naive to think that any fucker connected with the Nu Labour government would ever want real debate. They just want a group of "yes" men and women around them, to vindicate their largely crappy decisions and make them feel that someone, somewhere, still likes them.
That said, there is not excuse for the site looking like a big pool of dog's vomit, though.

Obnoxio, just like to say that you made some excellent points on Drooper’s so-called blog. The tossers on there are clearly impervious to logical argument, but it warmed my heart to see them get a good kicking from you and from the many others who are totally pissed off with them.
Aw don't give up on them just yet.. .. .. they've started carrying a link to b3ta on their Non-PoliticalList in an attempt to show how cool they are. B3ta creator Rob Manuel has links to one of his other sites sickipedia in every B3ta newsletter. How long before the complaints roll in from the faithful? Surely worth watching just for that?
