hello John and Becky, apologies for the OT (I'm not familiar with this issue), but I'm rather writing to you because I’ve given a link to your blog as I aim to exchange links with the finest liberal blogs internationally, particularly in the US and the UK, where I had been living for 7 years and was a member of the Lib-Dems.
