"Attack the message, not the man!"
One of the great things about anonymity is that it forces your opponents to address your argument, not your existence. Old Holborn could be anyone, therefore anyone could be Old Holborn; therein lies the fun. Blogging since 2008, a persistent activist against all things Parliamentary, winner of numerous awards for being the thorn in the foot of all those who would trample over us, Old Holborn leads the Libertarian, "don't tread on me, leave me alone" wing of the Blogosphere. Humour, razor sharp wit and a keen nose for a story will always defeat those who assume they are our betters. Especially when they wish to charge us good money for the privilege."
