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

Highlights
Westmonster – It was 14 years ago today
John Redwood and William Hague are making political hay by pestering the government for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, yet both voted against a referendum on Maastricht back in ’93. Surely this be hypocrisy?

donpaskini – The Brain Drain

…Millennium Dome, Elephant – Day 2618: Where’s the Rush(ia)

Dave Cole – Liberal criticism of the BBC

Obsolete – David Cameron? He’s a lot like Barack Obama, honest…
Iain Dale thinks that Cameron (who has all the personality and appeal of a badly painted wax-doll) is just like Obama. It’s either ludicrous, hilarious… or both!

Lee Griffin – Is it time to ignore the threat of “terrorism“?
James Graham – Deconstructing the Lib Dem EU poll and other things to annoy the front bench
