299th !!!
Many thanks for the Inveresk Street Ingrate for informing me that this blog has been listed as the 299th in the list of 500 Top Political blogs . How that corresponds to actual numbers of voters- who knows .
If i had known i would have of course would have voted for myself and crept up a few more places . [ or recommended voting for Socialist Courier , a fine SPGB blog from its Scottish branches , or for the Socialist Banner , a Socialist blog that concentrates on African news- stories ]
But anyways , there will be a short intermission while Mailstrom goes on his hols .

Football politics
According to the BBC , Arsenal managing director Keith Edelman is "relaxed" about Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov's interest in the club. Usmanov's investment company Red and White Holdings Limited (RAWHL) owns nearly a quarter of the club's shares.
Well , he shouldn't be relaxed . He should be worried . Very worried . As should all Gunners supporters .
Craig Murray , the ex- UK diplomat , has had his blog censored when Usmanov decided he didn't quite like the truth being told about his past and ordered in the lawyers to intimidate Craig Muray's web-site host .
Apparently, Usmanov doesn't like Murray accusing him of being a Vicious Thug, Criminal, Racketeer, Heroin Trafficker and Accused Rapist....that Usmanov is just a criminal whose gangster connections with one of the World's most corrupt regimes got him out of jail....that Usmanov's present role as chairman of Gazprom is to handle Gazprom's bribery and sleaze on the international arena on behalf of Putin , and the use of gas supply cuts as a threat to uncooperative Russian satellite states.
