| MP hits back over spoof weblog Proxy Blogs for MPs hits pay dirt. Compare the proxy here with David Lepper's official site here. Even a blind bat could not mistake one for the other. I particularly liked these comments from David and others. Mr Lepper said: "It's highly objectionable that someone is posting information on the internet claiming it has been written by me. "I'm particularly concerned because there is an email address given which purports to be my own. "I would hate anyone to think the responses from this address came from me." The MP believes he was contacted by the author of the web site who complained his real web site has not been updated. Dr Nick Palmer, secretary of the all-party Parliamentary internet group, said: "Blackmailing MPs into creating blogs is not the best way. If they want the MP to blog, they should get in touch and ask. "David Lepper is a serious and dedicated MP and does not deserve to be ripped off in this way." I wonder which bit of Almost David Lepper, MP. I'm NOT David Lepper, the MP for Brighton Pavilion. Brighton Pavilion has to be one of the most wired places on the planet. I believe in democracy and I believe in the media networking revolution. I believe MPs should blog. If David Lepper, MP, did blog, it might look something like this. they find hard to understand? I guess David prefers to keep his head down and out of the blog spotlight. Welcome to the Internet, David! Incidently I discovered all this from a news aggregator of UK Political blogs that I recently launched. [Edited to add] Compare this with Alan Milburn The proxy author went in to an MP Surgery and has convinced Alan to allocate one of his constituency workers to start posting items to the blog.
