For the first time in ages I checked my short ‘Other interesting blogs’ list (cast your eyes right on the Home page to see it).
If nothing else, it shows what an ephemeral and patchy place the blogosphere is
- My favourite blog – known to all its friends as WLLG – has ceased, it is no more, it is a dead blog, much to the regret of its followers. But still worth having a look at the archive they’ve left up for some of the posts and discussion if you’re interested in the world of public service
- One has disappeared completely
- The other two haven’t had new posts since 2010 and 2011 respectively.
It all makes me look quite assiduous and productive by comparison (hollow laugh off-stage from partner).
So do I drop the list or update it?
I’m inclined to keep it going and have one or two ideas for what to add. But this is my plea for ideas from all HelpGov readers.
Bearing in mind that I’m ‘trying to make sense of government and public services, and other stuff’ what would you suggest goes on my blogroll?

I found this under IMPROVEMENT, Roger
“how senior people manage and improve the system.”
This is key to many of your posts. You point out problems or difficulties from the sidelines.
It is refreshing to read,and admirable effort to drive up standards, but UNLESS PEOPLE LISTEN it is to no avail.
Hope this helps.

To be clear about the above statement,
I thought that your blog would have more punch if you limited it to when you can really see the problems: when really improving the system does not take rocket science.
The title I leave to you: but you have picked out such obvious flaws, that these have real merit:and keep going!!
Stupidity appears to be man-made!
