It's on Monday evening and the panel line-up is: David Aaronovitch (Times commentator), Martin Bright (New Deal of the Mind founder, and blogger), Iain Dale (political blogger and publisher), Mick Fealty (political blogger) and Anne Spackman (Times' comment editor).

Any points you'd like PW to make on your behalf?

I don't understand the question.

I'm kind of hoping policywonk appears to explain it

Is there a website? I can't find much other than when and where on Google - who's organising it? Or am I missing something obvious?

Swedes, I've thought long and hard about the grammatical issues. At first sight it does look like the MN Rep belongs to PW and I did have visions of PW with a bespectacled assistant in tow, but actually it's fine . I think.

But has anyone ever heard of the words Commentariat or Bloggertariat before they saw this thread? Has someone made them up just for the event?

Actually, it's the Ministry of Commentariat and Bloggertariat

I read it as Policywonk is MNRep ... iyswim.

Had to read that title several times (not castng aspersions on Geraldine, I'm fairly dim) but I think I understand now.

There is a panel, they are to discuss commentators Vs bloggers. Policywonk will be there as MN representative - presumably to fight the for the bloggers corner.

Ok - cant think of any Qs right now, but would like to say good luck to PW. She's a fantastic rep for MN, have read all the politicky stuff she's done the past few months and she's really quite brilliant.
