There is a slight change taking place on this blog.
So as to prevent any issue of libel, comment moderation has been enabled. All comments must be approved by the blog author.
A guarantee is given that it is only for reasons of libel and to protect good taste that this change is taking place.
Please feel free to criticise the author of this blog and any material that appears. Anonymous comment will continue to be allowed provided it does not libel. It must also conform to standards of good taste.
Having been Letters Editor of a regional newspaper I am very conscious of the dangers of libel. In the case of newspapers it is the publication which is held to account.
Since comments are now appearing on this blog it has been a matter of concern that a comment might libel someone by accident or intention.
Hopefully this new restriction will not in any way curtail people in what they write or might wish to write.
