Pommygranate

We have been celebrating the increasing geographical and political spread of our membership; it's my great pleasure to announce a new member who ticks both those boxes. Pommygranate is a Brit now based in Sydney, but he admits to experience on Wall Street as well. Indeed, he lost a friend and colleague in 9/11, the trigger for his interest in politics. He is Blogpower's second declared supporter of the Euston Manifesto. I hope it does not sound trite to follow those observations with a reference to his most recent post, detailing a series of recent Islamic terrorist incidents. A little further down, he suggests that England's national day should not be April 23 (which, at present, it isn't, anyway) but June 15, to commemorate the signing of Magna Carta; an event he argues we can all be justly proud of. Still further down the page, a long piece on the significance of ANZAC day stands out for its sympathy and insight, and quotes not only the moving last lines of a tribute to those who died at Gallipoli by Eric Bogle, but an equally touching epitaph from Kemal Ataturk. Pommygranate would adorn any blogroll, and we should be happy to count him among our own. Welcome aboard, Pommygranate!
