My star blogging protege Ellee is really riding high. Here are some comments culled from the internet today:- Paul Newman 43 year old Islington resident and London Conservative Mayor hopeful writes his thoughts and says:- 4 Ellee- I sometimes find Elee a bit alarmingly left wing…well compared to me anyway!! .
