Highlights
The F-Word – Stop the Strip Pub
Satchmo’s, a pub on Stoke Newington Road (North London), has applied for a licence to put on strip shows. The planned “sex pub” has incensed residents who are campaigning to the Hackney Council for the application to be declined. There is even a campaign blog.

FlyingRodent – Attention, Dipshits – It’s Not About Us [NSFW]
As the Observer muses its own support of the Iraq invasion and how the project’s failure has damaged the idea of liberal intervention, FR makes the point that maybe we’re forgetting something.

Left of Centre – Guilt by association or who the hell is Marc Rich?
It’s bewildering that a Clinton would have the chutzpah to criticise someone for having dodgy associates.

Shiraz Socialist – What’s “Respect Renewal” then?
New party, same old Galloway.

Alix Mortimer/LDV – Criminals of the future? Police call for children’s DNA to be stored
Seriously, how are you supposed to trust government, when they don’t trust you?
