I have spent much of the day at the International Young Democratic Union conference in London. This is a gathering of 250 young politicians from 40 countries around the globe. We had eight of them on 18 Doughty Street last night.
I was at the event to talk to them about how politicians can make best use of new media. I did a similar speech last weekend to thirty young Conservative women and I am delighted that 3 of them have already got in touch to say my talk inspired them to start blogging themselves. I'd be delighted if a similar proportion of today's audience took up the blogging challenge too. Every political activist should have a voice and play their part in spreading the message whether it's through blogging or another medium.

Funny how your panel last night poopooed the idea that the Italians might have murdered Litvinenko, when it was Scaramella wo met him at the Sushi Bar. Now Scaramella is found to be contaiminated with Polonium.
Litvinenko revealed that Romano Prodi was the head of the KGB/FSB in Italy. OK the Italians wanted to stop any more revelations of their country being a KGB stronghold, but why did the British media spend a week covering up for them, making it appear certain that it was Russia wot dun it?
I guess the Brit media don't want the truth about the EU to surface. Murdoch is the EU's agent in the UK according to Lance Price - and as for the BBC, words fail me.
Newt Gingrich would die to read this post.
Well, if you were as persuasive and genuine as you were on Saturday...
I'm curious, who are the other 2?
Oh dear. This must be stopped. This must be stopped immediately, for the good of all peoples and the sanity of the very world itself.
Iain, I would think that you would know the difference between a desire to be heard and the state of having something worthwhile to say (not to mention the ability to say it coherently). They are quite, quite different.
Not everyone should have a blog. Not everyone should have a microphone. Not everyone should have a camera. Not everyone should have a newspaper column.
Well there have been people at Sky who have wondered aloud why the Russian secret service was so incompetent in this kill. I personally think someone is trying to set em' up because the KGB are far neater than whomever did this.
Scaramela was involved in a 'parliamentary investigation in Rome into KGB dirty tricks', (Times today) lagwolf.
It seems as if Scaramela was also an intended target, but he ate nothing at the Sushi Bar and only drank a bottle of water. That provided an assassin with little opportunity to get Scaramela in the same poisoning hit.
Many Italians had/have much to fear from Litvnenko and Scaramela, given the degree of KGB penetration into Italian government.
Litvinenko has already revealed that Romano Prodi was the KGB's head man in Italy - so penetration of the EU by the KGB has to be likely also. No wonder the media are so keen to portray the Litvinenko murder as an entirely Russian affair.
Blair and the media machine must protect their Brussels overlords from having to reveal the ghastly reality. The EU is not only penetrated by organised crime. It is organised crime.
