DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Douglas Johnson

Splintered Sunrise - thinks the reaction to the Karen Matthews case is overblown.

The Daily (Maybe) - rounds up posts on Plane Stupid. Are they becoming the Fathers 4 Justice of the environmental movement?

Socialist Unity - Why bother with bowdlerism?

Rhetorically Speaking - Why does Melanie Phillips not understand the disconnect between assaulting the minority rights of homosexuals and defending the minority rights of evangelicals?

Stroppyblog - mourns Oliver Postgate.

Bart Jones - Chavez is no saint, but not is he the monster depicted in the Western media.

DAILY BLOG REVIEW *EXTRA* / by Aaron

anticant’s arena – A brilliant round-up of the regressive stances taken by Ratzinger’s Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church here. Hard-line conservatism bordering intolerant fascism would be my take. Important.

Obsolete – The recent fury over the Virgin Killer album cover highlights the unchecked power of Internet Watch Foundation.

The Barnet Eye – Rog is amazed by the changes made in kiddies version of The Oxford dictionary. Are we really seeing a fledgling Newspeak via the famous tome?

Clairwil – The Karen Matthews incident has little or nothing to tell us about the benefits system as a whole.

Hagley Road to Ladywood – The government’s latest assault on the humble fag is to force it underground. Well, under the counter, anyway.

The Sun – Tabloid Lies – On The Scum’s coordinated assault on the Plane Stupid protesters.

Wot, yer still want more? Our Neil has a selection of links over at The Bleeding Heart Show.
