The Witanagemot Awards

I’m flabbergasted, but thanks to all those of you who voted for Unionist Lite !

Best Northern Irish political blog

A Tangled Web

According to Witanagemot Club readers, I’ve also got the second best British nationalist blog in the UK, squeezed in between two sites that take a rather more exclusive view of British national identity than I do.

Best British nationalist blog

BNP
A Pint of Unionist Lite
Nationalist News

So, thanks (I think) again to all who also voted for me in that category.

And a hearty "well-done" is due for the Modern young Unionists, Alexander Redpath and Alasdair O'Hara:

Modern Unionist Voice

Finally, for British political bloggers of whatever description, but particularly those interested in the Union and the various shades of nationalism in the UK, The Witanagemot Club is an invaluable resource for tapping into relevant newspaper and blog article- I use it on an almost daily basis!

Super news well done to NI guys!

Congratulations, although from my perspective second place seems like a bit of a miscarriage! Slugger has little to offer the non-NI reader. You have much broader philosophical appeal.

Thanks to you both.
SU,
Slugger does what it says on the tin and gives news and views on NI politics and culture.

Unfortunately although it has some very talented and readable bloggers posting there, its comment zone is a complete mess where the lunatics have most definitely taken over the asylum. One of the disadvantages of running a blog with such high readership figures.

Congratulations O'Neill, as the only Unionist blog worth reading may I say wel deserved! Just a tip though, whenever you get a chance to (deservedly) brag about your second place spot, i'd leave out the identity of the blog above you!

Congrats again!

HF,
Yeah, but, the one below is a bit scarey too!

I've a hunch a few fascists will be leaving this site disgruntled, probably expecting something quite different!!
