Troll accolade

Iain Martin at the Telegraph:

Here's the first really promising Labour attack blog. It's the work of Adam Bienkov: it's noisy, unpleasant in parts, quite often wrong-headed in my view, intensely opinionated, funny, sharp and, crucially, focused on breaking news stories. His main target is the London Mayor, my good colleague Boris Johnson, and the Tory group on the GLA. Tory Troll's stuff is worth a thousand posts on Labour List about what those attending Labour's National Policy Forum think of their own navels. But the key is that it's grassroots, oppositional and pokes the powerful with a sharp stick.

All absolutely true - he is quite shockingly wrong-headed, you know - except Adam isn't in the Labour Party and his isn't a "Labour blog". Nice accolade, though, and a good piece.
