The Guardian Backbencher’s Political Weblog Award shortlists are out<\/a>. It would appear Europhobia has made it through.<\/p>\n

I would ask for your votes – but sadly another, similarly-titled blog, EUrophobe<\/a>, has also been nominated in the single-issue campaigns<\/a> section. The Guardian, that bastion of subediting genius, has managed not only to bugger up the capitalisation of this site’s name, but also their HTML.<\/p>\n

Ten English pounds to the person who can tell me who I should click by to give myself a vote:<\/p>\n

1) The site listed as EUrophobia – which links here but is described as a “‘Europhobic’ blog written by a European parliament employee. Scarily un-PC, but very funny in exposing EU wastefulness and bureaucracy.” (Europhobe<\/a>‘s description)<\/p>\n

OR<\/p>\n

2) The site down as “Europhobe” – which links there but is described as “A former eurosceptic turned pro-European on politics and international relations in Europe and the rest of the world. Good stuff.” (the description for this place)<\/p>\n

I have to confess, I have no idea which of us is which… Still – thanks for the thought, Farringdon guys. Nice to see that I can have my first “Oh look the ‘MSM’ has got it wrong” moment in another one of these bouts of blog navel-gazing…<\/a><\/p>\n

So, as I say – a correction and\/or clarification might be in order – if only so I can work out just how badly I’m losing.<\/p>\n

(By the way, am I on a single issue campaign? News to me… Oh, and thanks to Jarndyce&Jarndyce of The Pseudo Magazine<\/a> for pointing this out – and the kind words and all.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
