Wonks for Sale.

Nice Thunderer on policy wonks for sale. As always, my question is where’s my cheque?

One other thing does occur to me. Given the similarity of the subject matter, is Paul Staines actually Guido Fawkes?

    Cheque? This has been known about for a long time – years. Mr Staines (or is that Guido?) is the first to write about it in the press.

  4. Tim,
    I think it’s regarded as bad form to unmaske peoples’ secret identity online. I did it once before myself and get a much deserved earful to bring me down to earth with a bump. A private smug e-mither is more the thing.

    Oh stop whining Hugh, and get back to your Playboy mansion. Blognor Regis, my foot!

  6. Mark: Guido was unmasked as Paul Staines by the Grauniad diary column months ago.

  7. The defamatory claims made by Paul Staines about IPN in the article to which you link are false, as we point out here: http://www.policynetwork.net/main/article.php?article_id=719
