Anyone else have trouble loading the Witanagemot Club page ?

Hi - is anyone else having trouble loading the Witanagemot club page ? ( I can see from other sources that postings seem to continue there - but for the last two days have been unable to access the site ).

See the survey right for a quick answer.

If you can can you add the current IP address to comments below so I can check if its my DNS server that's at fault.

Thanks.

Update: All is well again ! ( Not quite sure why yet - I've added the site to my opendns blocking whitelist - not that it gave any indication of a problem - that system is there so I can cut the kids of Youtube remotely without them knowing how it happened ).

My guess is that slow site response cause attempts to connect to time out - but I'm just guessing there.

Thanks for your help.

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
