I just caught the tail end of a story on Radio 4's today programme this morning which tweaked my interest.

I may have missed the full context of the story but the part that I got was that a Civil servant from a large government department has been anonymously blogging for the past 3 months or so - with the overtone being that it was critical of government policy.

The news today was that the blog has just gone offline and the inference I took from Radio 4 was that because it was it was negative, it had been pulled.

So much for free speech and open blogging - I am reluctant to wade in fully waving the free blog speech banner too high until I can find the full details. Did anyone else pick up on this story also?
