London’s Pin
is a new blog that has popped up over the weekend. It first came to Tory Bear's attention via a Facebook friend request.
Normally TB wouldn’t be too bothered about yet another CF blog emerging in his wake but this one is different…
It’s pretty personal and pretty nasty.
Written from the perspective of a supposed CCHQ “drawing pin” accidentally relegated from DC’s office to CF, the Pin is a funny concept. However something tells TB there is something slightly more malicious behind this blog.
Obviously it’s a clear rip-off/piss-take of
London Spin
, the brainchild of Steven George and the supposed “Broadsheet Tory Bear" -
The bloody cheek!
Mr. George has now passed the editorial reigns to one Frank Gallagher. Frank apparently graduated from the University of Manchester with a 2:1 in journalism and cultural studies. Though he does not appear to be on Facebook. Which is a bit odd.
Despite the “Pin” being live only a matter a days, half of its posts directly attack, or at least take the piss out of either Steven George, Croydon CF, (to which he is personally and professionally very close to,) or London Spin itself – “a 'well respected' Blog, who has a readership in its 'tens'”
Now there is no denying that there must have been some bad-blood in Mr. George’s acrimonious departure from CWLCF and London’s Pin is clearly involved in CLWCF and focuses on the branch, his longest post yet has been about Ed Hallam’s hair. The only clue.
Let the witch-hunt begin.
A Tory Bear t-shirt to the first person to email the Pin’s true identity.
Don’t forget it’s now editor@torybear.com
