Battlefield of Love did not make longlist of Orwell Prize 2011 - no surprises there
One of the judges, David Allen Green who calls himself a liberal http://theorwellprize.co.uk/shortlists/david-allen-green/ helpfully admitted during his talk that the Orwell Prize favours the Left of Centre. Richard Horton, the other judge, mentioned the horror of having to read blogs that he thought people had a right to write but which he thought he had a right not to read. I asked if he had any particular blogs in mind when he said that hoping that he would mention http://thevoiceofreason-ann.blogspot.com/ and http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.com/ , but did not get the answer I hoped for. Below are the 5 Battlefield of Love posts I submitted. http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.com/2010/11/engagement-of-prince-william-and.html http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.com/2010/10/case-for-disenfranchsing-women-or-why.html http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.com/2010/05/official-marriage-strike-by-men.html http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.com/2010/09/single...
