2. Blogs

Please check out the latest post on our blog, 
which is a reflection upon computers, the 
internet and radical politics. We're hoping that 
the blog can become an important discussion place 
for working out a new Luddites politics, so please post your comments.

As the anniversary begins, others are beginning 
to discuss the Luddites. There is a particularly 
interesting blog on The Economist website, which 
comes as close as that magazine is ever likely to 
admitting that the Luddites might have had a 
point

There is also a blog on the Guardian comment is 
free site advertising a radio programme on BBC 
Radio 3, 10pm, Tuesday November 22nd

It's interesting to note that the large majority 
of comments on that blog are pro Luddites.

Down with all Kings but King Ludd
