Back from oblivion
31 Mar 23 | Re: Lazarus-like recovery of lost blogging artefacts | Link-U-Post
Back in 2016 there was a minor blog disaster where I failed to renew my domain name, resulting in the loss of several months' blogging work (two posts). That's a small amount of material but I was sorry to lose it because one of them was maybe the second best thing I've ever put on here. But finally we have some good news: it took me this long, but I had the idea of checking the Wayback Machine and lo and behold, there were the lost posts!
Without too much futher delay, I've restored them, so now readers can once again read about:
- DIY: A Thatcherite plot? - In which I argue convincingly that the popularisation of DIY was/is a sort of Tory Trojan horse, deliberately intended to hobble the working classes and lurch the country to the right.
- Say something, I'm giving up on you - The pick of the two, where I respond to Labour's 2015 election defeat by suggesting that they should appoint a very left-wing leader and campaign on a proper left-wing platform. Which actually happened!
Enjoy!
(And many, many thanks to the Wayback Machine, which provides an invaluable service in so many ways.)
