This blog is now live!
Forty years ago The Collected Essays & Journalism of George Orwell infected me with a disease for which there appears to be no cure. I'm sure that if he were around today, Orwell would be blogging furiously, 24/7, drawing attention to obscure but important facts and challenging his readers to think.
I cannot hope to match Orwell's talent - but maybe you can. It's taken a few weeks for the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to trust me sufficiently for this blog to see daylight, so there's an archive which might be worth looking at. Do please take a look.
And remember, although facts might be sacred, comment is free.
I'm ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Devon’s Graham Smith, blogging on news, views and some fresh insights into West Country life, particularly the way government works locally and nationally.
