Civil Serf is down

Bishop Hill in Blogs

The Sunday Times has a story speculating about the identity of Civil Serf, the anonymous Whitehall blogger.

The Civil Serf - as she calls herself - claims to be a 33-year-old fast-stream civil servant ready to expose the daily chaos of the Labour government machine while lampooning ministers and highlighting the idiocy of mandarin colleagues. There are also moans about drunken advances from the opposite sex.

It's a great blog - she writes beautifully, or at least she did, because as of this moment the whole site appears to have been deleted.  It's a shame, but it was certainly good to have a light shone on the inner workings of the mandarinate for a while.
