A new kid on the blog

While looking for sources to find out whom the local Lib Dems have selected to be the next wannabe rubber tree I stumbled across Market Division Lib Dem County Cllr Sarah Whitebread's new blog. She acknowledges Tory supremacy in the Cambridge blogosphere and says that she wants to add an 'opinion' dimension to the otherwise sterile blog action from local Lib Dems here. This is to be welcomed!
"For such a liberal city it’s a shame that the most active bloggers at the moment seem to be tories."

I did notice while browsing the new blog that Martin Land has been selected Lib Dem PPC for Huntingdon. That would be the same Land who called Cambridge 'one of the scruffiest, nastiest little towns in England' in his blog. Yes we do have a copy of that post even though you pulled it down. I'm surprised Cambridge Lib Dems want to be associated with him!

P.S. Cllr Whitebread, is Colin going to be standing in Market Ward this year?

Martin's just following in an honourable self-aware tradition, Chris. What about Rupert Brooke's “For Cambridge people rarely smile, / Being urban, squat, and packed with guile.”

Isn't Martin just following in an honourable tradition, Chris?
