Is your blog a confection of lies – a rambling outpouring from your fervid imagination?
Do you pretend that you have an amazing social life – one that would make William Burroughs Naked Lunch look like a barn dance at the Church Hall?
Do you think it is acceptable to tell lies on a blog that is connected with your job?
Conservative MP Nadine Dorreis admitted that 70% of her blog about her political activities is fiction. I am sure some people might be annoyed and disgusted to hear that. The public has not forgotten the ‘snouts in trough’ sagas.
Politicians seem to be skilled in the art of obfuscation and verbal conjuring - So perhaps it is stretching things to expect a politician’s blog to be truthful.
Surely it would be better to say nothing rather than to concoct lies?
I don’t read any politicians blogs, and having had a quick look at Ms Dorries blog, because of the furore it has created, I won’t be reading any more – it was boring.

I am not sure I would bother to read a blog that was largely based on lies. I read them for factual information and general interest(as in this blog). I also like those that are real accounts of a person's thoughts or activities. I think someone making up a large proprotion of their blog should make it clear from the outset so the reader is not misled.
