Top Six – December 28

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 be out and about later. So there.

6 Happy Christmas Scrooge Dacre Now on a “remuneration package” worth £2.4 million a year, not caring about the less well off, working Christmas Day and wanting his staff to do the same – behold the modern day Scrooge, editing the Daily Mail.

5 New Tony Benn Smear Is Bunk The latest rubbish to be peddled by former Soviet agent Oleg Gordievsky proves the old and very obvious adage – dead men don’t sue.

4 Tory Madrasa Co-Founder Jailed Ben Pickering co-founded the Young Britons’ Foundation (YBF) in 2003, with Donal Blaney and Greg Smith. Now he’s been given a six-year sentence for conspiracy to defraud. So the YBF has been erasing all trace of his involvement – not with total success.

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