Have just blogged on Guardian website re Mumsnet, Mile for Maude and stuff

[JustineMumsnet]

and thought you might be interested. It's here . Have a feeling I'm going to take a pasting...

Go Justine! We know these meeja types are endlessly plundering MN for their columns.

like your blog!
you probably will get a pasting though.....
never mind - we love you!

I wondered how long before you did.

nice one Justine. I think the thing about it not happening round at there place anymore is so spot on!

The first comment made me laugh (as I sit on my backside )

Oooh - some controversial stuff.

that man - bloody cheek. how rude.

Fantastic, Justine!

Do journos not sit on their backsides then, whilst changing the world?

That Stevo blogger clearly hasn't read anything more than the top and the bottom of J's piece!

What are we meant to do when being online? Dancing a jig?

Stevekingofthenewts, I would just LOVE to see him here for a chat

And Justine you are right. We all know for a fact that researchers and journalist for most magazine programmes regularly plunder the threads of mn for inspiration.

Gosh what an erudite and well thought out argument there from Steve.

Well done though Justine, good piece.

justine invite him on for a chat - we'll give him what for! lol.

agree thou wiht you.

Nice work Justine. I have ishoos with Alice Miles (can she even spell research?) and I thought your comments were spot on.

Nice one Justine
Alice Miles

Well done Justine!!! MNers sitting around doing nothing, I ask you!!!

Fab Justine, don't let them get away with this claptrap.

That is fantastic!
Go Justine

ll - your comment's there now.

Was gonna post a response to Alisdair Cameron but I notice he's already been put in his place much better than I could have done it lol.
