Stat pr0n. Kind of.

Here's a tip for all bloggers with pathetically low profiles. Like this one. Not that I care yada yada yada.

If you are fortunate enough to get a link from Iain Dale to a Eurosceptic blogpost you wrote, saying how ghastly the German politikmeisters/Berlaymont commissars are (you might want to throw in a snarl at the French énarchs) and how they are really the World Domination League (for those who remember E L Wisty), your daily visitor numbers will treble in a matter of minutes.

Which tells us something about the clout of Iain Dale's Diary and the delightfully intransigent Euroleanings of the denizens of the UK blogosphere.

It's a rather good feeling, knowing there are so many like minds out there. Thank you, Mrs Dale and readers. (His and mine.)
