In quite an extraordinary way, the MP for Mid Bedfordshire, Nadine Dorries, has admitted her blog was '70% fiction' in a somewhat bizarre attempt to 'reassure' her constituents that she was not shirking her duties.
"My blog is 70% fiction and 30% fact. It is written as a tool to enable my constituents to know me better and to reassure them of my commitment to Mid Bedfordshire.
"I rely heavily on poetic licence and frequently replace one place name/event/fact with another."
Dorries suggested she had been subjected to "bullying" by the media after the expenses scandal broke.
"In the light of the bullying onslaught of the Daily Telegraph I used my blog to its best effect in reassuring my constituents of my commitment to Mid Beds," she wrote.
Sorry Nadine, but that's not bullying - that's fair game.

What with Andrew Marr's outburst last week and Nick Robinson's perplexing Blogger of the Year award, we bloggers have some work to do.

It looks very much like Ms Dorries is following the same approach as the tea bag ladies in the USA who routinely refuse interviews and use their blogs and face books to complain of persecution if challenged.
