Blog Information
An interesting if not groundbreaking blog, Curly's Corner Shop is definitely Conservative leaning even if it is not strictly a Conservative blog.
The regular posts are well-written and make for interesting reading, especially when they're looking at some of the less well-publicised stories.
Though there's clearly an anti-Labour stance running through some of the posts, it's not coupled with a pro-Cameron line which makes this more readable than some of the strictly Tory blogs.
An interesting read for anyone, we enjoyed this blog.
