Wiki: blog traffic & alternative Queen's Speech - no comments

I've set up two new pages on the Bloggers4Labour Wikispaces site.

The first page is helping us collect information about the blog traffic of B4L's constituent blogs. If you don't mind entering your traffic details (visitors or page loads), please head over there and update your entry.

We've also added a page for John McDonnell's "alternative Queen's Speech". The full text can be found there, so why not edit and improve it? You don't need to register or to log in: editing is unrestricted, but it will be monitored for abuse.

Please don't consider this an endorsement of that mini-manifesto - I haven't even had time to fully read and assimilate the thing - or indeed of John's campaign, he just happened to produce just the right kind of document at the right time, given my desire to get the Wiki going again. I think it's fair to say that, while all bullet-pointed lists of demands are bound to be inconsistent, John devoted more time thinking about the effect of his plans on trade union membership (in the short run) and his own sectional interests, than trivialities like employment, prices, interest rates, public debt, and so on. As Dave Osler suggests, it does rather carry one back to the glory days of 1983. Still, you're the editors, so perhaps you can improve/extend/reduce it without coming to blows?
