I also, in the dim and distant past, used to wear flared jeans and platform shoes, an RAF greatcoat and shirts with collars so big you could thread a bit of wire through them and use them for hangliding.
I ask you not to allow this shameful incursion to our civil liberties. Without The Blog we are merely fed homogenised propaganda, for example how good the exam results are this year and how well the refurbishment program is regressing (sic).
This is not acceptable. Please send angry emails to both

Do not, then, desert in our hour of need. Intelligent people wither and grow numb in the absence of healthy questioning and criticism. Those exposed to only one opinion for seven years grow bland and meek. The future of Housey is at stake.

It has already been discussed on here in relation to another matter, and it was generally agreed that invitations to start spamming only serve to antagonise the intended recipient(s).
Still, the blog seems to have plenty of supporters here, as will be seen by anyone who cares to lurk around for a bit.
Plenty of defenders of free speech here, too, but I can't see many people jumping in to chastise the 'authorities' without a more balanced understanding of the issues and personalities involved.

Loved this customer critique:- "Rod T says: | 7-Nov-04
We have visited twice for lunch in the last three weeks. First time, it was packed out mainly with 'wrinklies' having a '2 for 1' opportunity. We fully recommend this pub to everyone, especially the 'wrinklies' !"
