Top Six – January 20

So what’s hot, and what’s not, in the past week’s blogging? Here are the six most popular posts on Zelo Street for the past seven days, counting down in reverse order, because, well, there’s blog research to do. So there.

It was nothing to do with North Wales, nothing to do with Jimmy Savile, and everything to do with ensuring it doesn’t happen again.

5 Building Blacklist Brings Media Silence The use of a blacklist by the construction industry, including public sector contracts such as at the Olympic Park, was revealed. Most of the papers said nothing. Nobody should be surprised.
