Recess Monkey website reports that Alex Hilton, one of the leading lights behind the blog & one-time would-be hopeful prospective New Labour candidate for Liverpool West Derby at the time of Bob Wareing's deselection, has been in hospital over the last few days with bacterial meningitis (http://www.recessmonkey.com/2009/02/21/alex-hilton-2/ ).
I was rather cutting about Alex in a blog post back in October, 2007 after I mistakenly accused him of double standards, thinking he had penned a RM piece about litter in Liverpool (http://condensedthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/10/sour-grapes-when-scorned.html ). Alex replied to my post in courteous, yet evidently pained tones.
My best wishes to Alex for a full recovery.

About Me
- Correspondent
- It's difficult for me to pigeon-hole myself. Anyone involved in marketing or demographics would find that I've slipped through the net. I'm a maverick. I remain a philosophical marxist (note the adjective), although I'm the first to say that capitalism won that titanic war when the Berlin Wall came down. I have a very low threshold for bullshit, can be sarcastic & generally assume the worst in people (that way, anything else is a bonus).
