Happy Birthday to us

I have just realised today is the third birthday of my blog. I have never not wanted to keep blogging. But I do struggle with some bitches about blogging periodically. Surly and manic anonymous comments always irritate but are more than made up for by considered and clever anonymous comments. I wouldn't want to restrict commenters and touch wood, so far I haven't had to. Thank you all, self-identifying or otherwise, for keeping on reading and responding.

The impetus for this blog is conviction that a radical rethink of welfare is critical. I am even more committed to that idea than I was three years ago.

  4. Well done Lindsay. I've enjoyed reading your blog since I found it at the start of this year.

    Merry Christmas, and I look forward to reading more in the new year.

  5. I just wanted to note that your blog is always a source for cogent remarks on the welfare state and the mythology that surrounds it. I always look forward to your analysis and what we should be doing, rather that the continuation of failed polices that seems to pass for action these days.
