Cowards Flinch

I didn't have any very high hopes for FCO Bloggers: Global conversations, but I found this rather moving.

I'm not making any exaggerated claims for blogging changing diplomacy etc. but it is interesting none the less, and certainly a lot more human and constructive than the vile innuendo of the blogs-in-public-life red rag fiasco. (It must be said that describing Gordon Brown's abandonment of Damian McBride as resembling "a sinking ship leaving a rat" is a great line.)

http://theredrag.co.uk/ exists by the way, even if it is somewhat forlorn ....
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
