A few years ago a friend who wishes to remain nameless suggested that it was about time I started writing a blog. "Why would I want to do that?" I said. "Because it's the future and you'd be good at it," he said. So I gave it a go and I've been here ever since. But not for any longer I'm afraid. Today is the sad day when I must bid you all farewell. I have been appointed Chief Sustainability Consultant at the Department of Energy and Climate Change, working directly to one of my all-time- heroes Ed Davey, with a juicy, taxpayer-funded salary, a ring-fenced pension and a bio-fuel- powered Aston-Martin just like the Prince of Wales's. No, not really, about the second bit. Just the first bit: I'm off to pastures new. What am I going to miss most? Well, you lot, obviously. Especially the ones who call yourselves the Knights of Delingpole. But even also, up to a point, my menagerie of house trolls. Yes, I know trolls can be pretty annoying sometimes – incredibly stupid and wrong, too, it goes without saying. Without them, though, I'm not sure the comments section – which, after all, is far more important than any of the rubbish I write on top – would have been nearly so lively, inspirational, or indeed long. It's a bit like the wind farm appeal hearing I attended today. (Couldn't write a farewell blog without shoehorning in wind turbines, could I?). When I stood up to give my speech what really fired me up wasn't the righteousness of my cause.

So can people who "write" blogs.
Is the Telegraph canning him?
I don’t know.
Oh no...
Say it ain’t so, James...
I don’t think so. He said he was taking another position and thanked the Telegraph.
I thought he was going to Breitbart.
This sucks one of my fav’s.
Well, he has a website of his own, where he may be doing updates...
“James Delingpole is a writer, journalist and broadcaster who is right about everything. He is the author of numerous fantastically entertaining books, including his most recent work Watermelons: How the Environmentalists are Killing the Planet, Destroying the Economy and Stealing Your Children’s Future, also available in the US, and in Australia as Killing the Earth to Save It. His website is www.jamesdelingpole.com.”
Well, I just tried to go to the website listed as his, but it doesn’t exist... ???
This was some terrible writing though
“jamesdelingpole.com

He hasn’t paid his rent, yet.
Does he write without the use of paragraphs? They sure
would make his writings easier to read.
Ah. Thanks for the link.
Paragraphs are so 20th century. ;-)
Paragraphs are so 20th century. ;-)

LOL... and needs to be continued into the 21st century.
Let’s hope so, this guy is great!
