Casting the net – Thatcher and the Feminists
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
Cassilis – A troubling lack of perspective…
Both the right and left are wrong on Thatcher. Liam Murray brings balance to one of politics’ most divisive and controversial characters. She was neither a messiah nor an ogre.
Crooked Timber – Taxes and the little people
Scrapping the non-domicile tax rule has split opinion, even FT writers can’t agree.
Penny Red – A Million Women Rose! (well, almost.)
Feminism is on the march! A – somewhat personal – dispatch from the Million Women Rise protest. Beautifully written, too.
OurKingdom – Motherland is a must
Motherland is a powerful play about an asylum detention centre in the UK. It’s a must see.
Clairwil – Can We Have a Revolvution Please?
Raging against nannyism in schools, Clairwil demands teachers concentrate on reading, writing, and arithmetic.
The Crown Prosecution Service – Free Expression and the Rule of Law (lecture)
Last week, Sir Ken Macdonald QC (Dir. of Public Prosecutions) delivered a “surprisingly liberal” speech at Birmingham University. via.

Anton Vowl – Femail oopsie
Blood and Treasure – Boris the Circassian
