Women, Wimbledon and Wonderful Inventions

As the US wakes up after its Independence celebrations, the UK prepares to mark the third anniversary of the 7/7 terrorist attacks. Also not forgetting, we have to get through Wimbledon’s finals weekend. But for those who aren’t tennis fans, here is something to read instead. Your suggestions always welcome below or at tips[at]liberalconspiracy[dot]org.

Pickled Politics: Clairwil asks us to save an innocent woman from deportation to Nigeria, where she faces death for the unforgivable crime of… falling in love.

Rahila Gupta/CiF: My favourite feminist, Rahila, suggests a long-term solution to sex trafficking.

Remembering The Ability in Disability: While waiting to go on holiday in a crowded airport lounge, a sensitive engineer realised that some could use a stylish wheelchair. I’ve published a picture, and a great review, at my blog.

Between East And West: This post is a little old – and a bit short – for this round-up, but as it’s the weekend before 7/7, I think it’s appropriate.

Aqoul: Publicises a Turkish soap opera which is, apparently, provoking divorce.

Clive Davis: Agrees with the Taliban’s taste in Western popular culture.

The Daily (Maybe) – “Labour has a choice. The death of Brown’s premiership, or the death of the Labour Party.”

It’s not the most amazing article, but the subject is really good.

Millenium Elephant, introducing the fact Lib Dems will do the right thing on expenses regardless of how the vote went.

Is that headline my punishment for saying I can’t stand Kylie Minogue!?!

Not at all!

Where did the link to Sunny go? I’m sure it was there this morning!

Perhaps Sunny didn’t want himself linked?
