The Lay Scientist – Bloggers’ ability to criticise anything is under threat.
Two Doctors - crowns Angela Constance plastic bag queen of Scotland.
Back Towards the Locus - WE MUST HAVE QUEUE ETIQUETTE. According to Trevor Phillips, at least.
Dave’s Part - plays spot the difference.
New Direction - spots the difference?
Casting Back a couple of days, Emily Hill asks why the Joseph Rowntree foundation seem so keen for women not to enjoy alcohol.

The biggest story today is about ministers fiddling with their expenses led by the “bold, visionary” Prime Minister” and no wonder it failed to find a spot in Liberal conspiracy.
Can’t wait to see how Fabian apologists spin this one into a bold and visionary move by the PM.
Moral compass my ass
Hmm, I actually rate Labour failing on equality, one of their benchmark manifesto points from over a decade ago, to be bigger news than some high up ministers making some expenses claims and (where they were wrong) rectifying those mistakes before they were published. I also rate immigration policy higher, and our human rights and liberties.
Really, we don’t need more pointless expenses talk…the review is going underway, Brown was defeated on his plans, it’d be nice to focus on news that is a little more important for the future of this country for a while.
Thanks for the link, Doug.
(Two links, in fact, as I appear to have conquered Dave Osler’s.)
Shamit – so our top story is about how the PM failed on a key pledge and you think we’re being nice to the party by not writing about expenses?
Perhaps you may like to consider the possibility that out top story may not always echo what Today or the Mail want to highlight because I assume ppl will read that anyway.
Why is that for some people everything is a goddamn conspiracy?

LOL
I actually think the link to ‘The Lay Scientist’ is a bigger concern than either of these two articles. That that court case went the way it did is very very worrying for freedom of speech.
