UMBAD (6)

There are countless bloggers on the Internet, who write each day solely for pleasure of others. There are also a myriad of subjects and topics that get discussed each day. Some bloggers have hundreds of followers who are almost "blog groupies." Then there are the bloggers who are specialist in their area of interest and command a dedicated if small band of followers.


The Uncle Mort Blogger Award for Dedication (UMBAD) is awarded to those bloggers who in the face of adversity, keep stoically soldiering on. Sharing their interest and knowledge with unremitting dedication.



Uncle Mort brings a new Friday Blog of the week, each week on a Friday. The latest offerings often come from our personal collection of entertaining blog sites. Blogs which combine a catchy heading with an outlandish or intriguing subject matter.

This Fridays UMBAD award goes to Alan's Angle. Alan is a passionate advocate for social justice and fairness for society’s marginalised and has been committed for many years to serving his community in London’s East End, where he lives with his family. He works to empower all local people to stand up for what is right. 

I find Alan to be a compelling read. I keep coming back for more. Alan assaults my senses, he pricks my rampant atheism. I keep coming back for more. He makes me question my liberal prejudices. I keep coming back for more. I know that I could enjoy a pint and a deep conversation on many subjects. I know that the evening would end in turmoil. But I would keep coming back for more. 


You can submit any website for consideration for the UMBWA award. You do not have to be the author. Write a couple of paragraphs on why you think the website should be considered for this prestigious award. Titles must be catchy, content must be outlandish or intriguing. My indecision in awarding the award is final.


Regards.

Uncle Mort.
