As mission statements are all the rage currently and today is the twentieth anniversary of this institution’s founding, we thought co-conspirators might be interested in the email that accompanied our launch:
Press Release : Guy Fawkes’ Political Blog launched for Political Conference Season
For Immediate Release
My Fellow Pyrotechnicians,
I have long been haunting parliament, skulking around in the shadows and the cellars, ignored and unheard. But revenge will be mine now I have a ‘blog to spread what I overhear.
As the only man to ever enter parliament with honest intentions, be assured I seek the truth. But given the bastards had me hung drawn and quartered I don’t intend to show them much mercy in return. So I beseech the people of Westminster to send me scandalous gossip, and if its probably true, I will probably publish it.
To make it easy for sources and encourage leaks they can contact Guy Fawkes anonymously by e-mail, voice-mail or facsimile or post comments via the website…
Note to editors: Remember, Remember the www.5thNovember.blogspot.com is aimed at wonks, political junkies, scurrilous gossip mongers and politicians. It plans to be fully advertiser funded by year end. Editorially more interested in politicians penchants than their policies, it comes in a light-weight bite-sized hit and run format. It has contempt for spinners and politicians believing that Guy Fawkes was the best man ever in parliament.
Aiming to break-even and be fully advertiser funded by Bonfire Night, it is published by UGO LLC.
Yours in Gunpowder,
Guido Fawkes
