How about some freshly squeezed Prejudice in the morning?

Welcome to the Thursday casting the net. It’s Henley by-election today so exciting times for 24 hours and I’m sure a wealth of links fo Aaron tomorrow. Yesterday was the blog nation event, and this week has provided great material to blog on, so here are the links. Feel free to post up your favourite links in the comments, especially thoughts on last night’s Lib Con event. As always please send lovely tips to tips[at]liberalconspiracy[dot]org!

Brian Barder – What Jacqui Smith said yesterday regarding Homosexuality and Iran is completely unacceptable and it certain seems to have irked a fair number of us out there.
Max Dunbar – A thoroughly interesting and, from my perspective, spot on analysis of a recent occurrence on Big Brother. With so much tension around, the actions of the few muslims and immigrants in the house are bound to be under scrutiny.
Beeblebear/ukpolitics – If you’re brown and muslim then the moment the police break in to your house to arrest you you’re targeted by the media immediately. Kiddy fiddling, fascist, white terrorist? Well you’ll make the paper only when charged.
Neil Harding – He doesn’t like Labour MPs unless they’ve got a spine.

Harpymarx – Harpymarx is turning the screw on recent news about homosexual discrimination, Smith…Heinz…it’s all part of a bigger problem.
Remembering the ability in Disability – An interesting perspective on the toy world and the ideals they perhaps unwittingly bestow upon us.
Program your own mind – And here is a shameless self-link, with my review of the blog nation event last night.

Casting back:

SJ Howard – Tories a year ago were feeling a bit sore over a defection. I wonder who’s crying now?

Jennie has posted something cool too, would have included it if I’d have seen it before!

2. Max Dunbar

Appreciate the link Lee, but the analysis is mainly Hari’s – I watched that whole Mo/Alex row without picking up on any cultural aspect whatsoever…

3. Jennie Rigg

Awww fankoo Lee!

I am hoping Sunny will let me do a rejigged version for on here. You know, actually writing properly and backing up my assertions with figures and things. And probably not swearing.

Nothing wrong with the occasional swearing for emphasis…

5. Lee Griffin

Thanks for the clarification Max, I thought the extra angle you gave was justified in linking it up.

6. Aaron Heath

Yeah(!) swearing is cool.

All the big kids do it.

You are a man of your word! Thanks for including your write up of the blog nation event.

8. Harpymarx

Thanks for the link.

Jining the party! Thanks for the link. Now go toy shopping and buy DisAbled dolls for your daughters :)

10. Jennie Rigg

Well, bugger. If I have read this before rewriting, I’d have left the “frigging” in…
