Reading Roars!

One of Reading’s most entertaining and popular blogs, the highly satirical MuckspReading, has moved on to the digital other side.  It is disappointing to see its passing, though the decision to discontinue the project is understandable.

There is a need for satire (especially as local politics can feel a little dry) and I’m hoping that a new blog, independently managed, will emerge to fulfill this important role. 

As MuckspReading’s Mick Spreader (which may or may not be the author’s real name) wrote:

Since muckspReading was set up, Reading now has a burgeoning local blog network so hopefully someone else will take up the mantle of poking fun at the pompous, the smug and the jobsworths of Reading and continue to expose lies and hypocrisy where they see it. Don’t leave it to the press!
