Casting the net – Class Hatred & Wikileaks


by Aaron Murin-Heath    

Welcome to Casting the net, Liberal Conspiracy’s daily web review. As always, please feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments section.

Highlights
Stumbling and Mumbling – In praise of class hatred
Question That – Theories of the Class War
Westminster Wisdom – Should Chris Dillow be hated for living in England?
Chris Dillow comments on the infamous Gap-Year Blogger, with added class-based bile, only for his readership to open a whole can of whoop-ass. Great read, nonetheless (tongue half-in-cheek? Hmmmm…).

James Graham/LDV – Blog awards: Campaign for Gender Balance announces short-list
I’ve always held a deep-seated hatred of awards, ever since I was scandalously denied a bronze medal for the butterfly at a local swimming jamboree back in 1989. They depress me.

Cassilis – This weeks Think Tank Roundup…
This week featuring those cuddly warmongers at The Henry Jackson Society.

Obsolete – Reporting suicide compassionately.
The media must be more sensitive when reporting stories such as the Bridgend suicides. Sensationalism will only make it worse.

openDemocracy – Is this the end for Wikileaks?
Say it ain’t so! (this is important, people)

NHS Blog Doctor – David Aaronovitch goes to the khazi
Nothing quite like starting the day by pointing and sneering at David Aaronovitch. All together now…

Elsewhere
Blairwatch – Day 1 – 5th Worldwide Security Conference
Paul Linford – Was Neil Hamilton hard done by?
OurKingdom – Should we have more politics on TV?
John Hemming – Sometimes Asbstaining is the right thing to do even at midnight
Peter Black AM – Tories in confusion again
No geek is an island – Barclaycard and the credit crunch – j’accuse

Hey Aaron, Chris clarified in a comment on myblog that his post was deliberate.

Great roundup as ever!

and that’s not just because I’m in it :)

I’m grateful for the mention here! QT has been on hiatus for a while (due to me being away from home) but it’s back going strong now.
