Tim Ireland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tim Ireland is an online marketing consultant and activist who operates the website Bloggerheads.com
Ireland produced the first weblog by a British Labour Member of Parliament (Tom Watson) and the first weblog by a British Conservative MP (Boris Johnson).
In 2002, he ran a successful year-long campaign to make UK Prime Minister Tony Blair more accessible via email,[1] and in 2003 he launched a moderated moblog entitled 'Chasing Bush' that was designed to track George W. Bush during his visit to the United Kingdom.[2]
In February 2005 he launched the ironically-titled tactical voting website Backing Blair, which asked voters in the 2005 general election [3] (and again in the 2006 local elections) to use their vote in the way that would be most damaging to Tony Blair.
In December 2005 he successfully defied section 132 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 by staging a spontaneous demonstration (in the form of a carol service) in Parliament Square.[4][not in citation given]
