Top Six – September 29

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, I have to go out later. So there.

6 Don’t Menshn The Syria U-Turn More routine hypocrisy from former Tory MP Louise Mensch as she moves from wanting bombing and action on chemical attacks to, er, the exact opposite.

5 Boris The Absent Mayor London’s occasional Mayor Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson was once again absent as one of his vanity buses apparently went onto autopilot, shot a red light and rear-ended a line of traffic. Three were seriously injured, including two unfortunates who had to be cut out of their car.

4 Delingpole Admits Defeat Again Ahead of the IPCC report on climate change, James “saviour of Western civilisation” Delingpole showed, by his resorting to abuse and falsehood, that he had given up on arguing against the science. Again.

3 Flannelled Fool Stalking Fail The odious Henry Cole, tame gofer to the perpetually thirsty Paul Staines at the Guido Fawkes blog, attempted to gatecrash a gathering organised by the Hacked Off campaign. He failed. So he hung around outside. But saw nothing. So he made up a story to suit.

2 Iain Dale And A Police Caution The publisher and blogger found himself in hot water after a fracas on the Brighton seafront. Would this make him reconsider his previous attitude to others’ experience of Police complaints?

1 Don’t Menshn The U-Turn Dear Louise Mensch was duly rumbled, praising the deeply subversive Guardian on the one hand, before taking the Murdoch shilling and deciding that it was a rubbish paper after all.

And that’s the end of another blogtastic week, blog pickers. Not ‘arf!
