DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Aaron Heath

Chicken Yoghurt – Justin claims that Grant Wilkinson, the one-man Heckler & Koch who sold converted SMG’s to gangland scallywags, merely lacked ambition.

Freemania – Tom runs over the rule over the Tories’ latest anything but regulation! policy to stem obesity. He isn’t surprised businesses are delighted to welcome “responsibility deals”. Say what you like about the Tories, but never say they haven’t learned anything from New Labour.

Obsolete – septicisle, also considering the Tory theme of obesity, is more concerned with Andrew Lansley and David Cameron’s tone towards the working class. Maybe Cameron ought to aim his barbs at some of his more rotund backbenchers?

Left of Centrist – Bill Clinton delivers the perfect speech (to Barack Obama’s campaign).

Dreaming of Simplicity – Joe Biden delivers the perfect punch (to John McCain’s kidneys).

Same Difference – The Paralympic Games start next week. Can someone remind the MSM?

Harry’s Place – Is back.

For shame, it was me that is missing, because I’m currently doing a charity bike ride.

Goodness, isn’t it a little dangerous to type while you ride.

Touché

Oh sorry Lee, you’re right of course! Must be the bank holiday that made today feel like a Wednesday!
