			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Colin Campbell posted a notice on the <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/causes/sharings/125512?m=b85bc">CPB Facebook site </a>regarding a former Welsh civil servant who worked for the Welsh Assembly, who had been dismissed for blogging.</p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politics-news/2008/07/09/sacked-blogger-s-taking-case-to-tribunal-91466-21308104/">WalesOnline </a>(via <a href="http://onewalesgovernment.blogspot.com/2008/07/christopher-glamorganshire-what-price.html">Miss Wagstaff Presents&#8230;</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>AN Assembly Government civil servant who was sacked for running a political blog is taking his case to an Employment Tribunal&#8230;</p>
<p>The former Assembly Government employee, whose real name has not been disclosed but who ran a blog called Christopher Glamorganshire, provided what readers saw as a neutral running commentary on last year’s coalition negotiations involving Labour and Plaid Cymru.</p></blockquote>
<p>It seems that the civil servant&#8217;s contract may have contained language that forbade any activity like blogging. However, others, including a former Assemblyman, described the blog as &#8220;written in a sensible and rational manner.&#8221;</p>
