Thanks Charlie.

Just a quick welcome and word of thanks to any readers directed here from Undiplomatic. Charlie and I have been trading emails for the past couple of weeks, and he's been nothing but kind and helpful as we've been getting things off the ground here. He's a stand up guy, and provides some great insights to me and many others. Thanks to him for the kind plug today, and for the work that he's been doing at Undiplomatic and the Huffington Post.

Oh, and if you've got any rare Clash songs or They Might Be Giants bootlegs, you should probably send them his way.
