Whipless Guernsey


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.

Jock Coats – A beautifully written personal narrative of Jock’s recent candidacy in Oxford. Some interesting political ideas, too.
Spy Blog – A reports has legitimised fears that CCTV cameras aren’t the great panacea for street crime. So exactly why are we the most watched nation on Earth?
Cassilis – Liam Murray’s debut blogosphere review showcases an eclectic choice of stories and a soothing and informed delivery.
Ann Black – Over at Labour Outlook, Ann asks: What’s next for Labour?
The Daily (Maybe) – “The real anti-fascist work is in creating social solidarity. To repair a society where we have communities with no sense of community. To present a positive alternative and to, put simply, make people happier.”
John Angliss – Also over at t’ (Maybe), a guest post discusses the politics of Guernsey, where there are no political parties, and therefore, no whips!
Roger Darlington – How is it humanly possible to be a modern politician?
The Bickerstaffe Record – Listening to news from Myanmar, a blogger remembers witnessing the Bangladesh cyclone in 1991.
Though Cowards Flinch – Labour needs to realise elections are a means to an end, not the end in itself.

And finally, some contentious history over at Don’t trip up.
