Simon Titley the blogger

While we mourn Simon Titley, we should remember that he was at one time a considerable blogger.

The Liberal Dissenter flourished in 2004 and 2005.

Here is Simon writing on the fall of David Blunkett in November 2005:

Amid all the media comment about David Blunkett's departure from office last week has been an unpleasant recurring theme. Apparently the man had ideas above his station. 

Aren't there enough legitimate political reasons for opposing Blunkett, principally his instinctive authoritarianism? Instead, there has been a litany of snobbish remarks to the effect that a man who is not only working class in origin but also from the north should have had the temerity to visit the Mayfair nightclub Annabel's.
