A month passes

Once again, pangs of anxiety about whether I should be doing this at all, we're all supposed to be on the same side, not fighting dogs pitted against each other.

And aw man, there's thirty, maybe more, 'new entries' compared to last month, more like blogs I didn't know about, and so int he great scheme of things most of the blogs of the list have fallen quite a few positions in the ranking, its so despiriting. Charlotte Gore almost doubled her number of technorati reactions and only went up four places. I thought, maybe if I only put in the changes for new entries and for those who've gone up, it would be less despiriting, but nah, I'll put it all in to be controversial and have folk moaning.

Actually, to save you hunting through the whole list, the rising stars are:-
Constantly Furious (14 reactions link) (up 11)
Charlotte Gore (94 reactions link) (up 4)
Douglas Carswell (349 reactions link) (up 3)
Burning Our Money (1938 reactions link) (up 1)
UK Bubble (1211 reactions link) (up 1)
PJC Journal (748 reactions link) (up 1)
Obnoxio The Clown (732 reactions link) (up 1)
Looking for a voice (316 reactions link) (up 1)
The Landed Underclass (276 reactions link) (up 1)
And 'new entries' that weren't on the list a month ago are:-
Mr Eugenides
Heresy Corner
Nanny Knows Best
Is there more to life than shoes
Free market fairy tales
Cynical Chatter
Curious Snippets
Anti-Citizen One
Musings on Liberty
Transport Blog
RenegadeParent.net
Medworth
A neo-jacobin
Anomaly UK
Scottish Libertarians
Everything I say is right
Katabasis
The Pub Curmudgeon
Rab C Nesbitt
The Idle Pen Pusher

The progressive show
Captain: Ranty
(its the ability to write lists that sets us apart from the animals, thats what I always say)

If there are any British(ish) Libertarian blogs I've missed, ones which are regularly updated, let me know and I'll add them if I do it again next month.

Ooh, if you're reading this and you have vaguely libertarian tendencies and you happen to live near London, you might be interested in attending a meetup thing details here.

  1. Wow, I'm on a list!
    I feel like I have a dual personality, my blog is called rantinrab but I post as Rab C. Nesbitt. Do you think this is an issue? I don't want to confuse folk...
