DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg
Debi “Innerbrat” Linton has feminist rage about the way the media reports teenage pregnancy.
Hans Nyberg has a 360o Panorama of a village in Gaza.
Rhodri Marsden is not happy about the way the net can mobilise in vigilante action.
Hagley Road to Ladywood is upset about the second class treatment of agency workers.
Matt Wardman has detailed highlights of the travesty that is the Criminal Defence Service Direct.
To cheer you up after all that doom and gloom, Charlie Brooker reviews the new flavours of Walkers’ crisps in his usual inimitable style (he is kinder than the pub regulars were about Fish ‘n’ Chips flavour, which was universally condemned as tasting like “dirty minge”)
And if you hanker after further linkage, the Britblog Roundup and Scottish Roundup are both now up.

Reactions: Twitter, blogs
