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

Jenni Russell – Russell is stark in her assessment: Brown has to go. But with the weakest cabinet in living memory, who could possibly step-up? A proper leadership election, with manifestos and hustings is the way forward.
Anton Vowl – The Mail’s new online message-board takes us to new depths.
Joe Lieberman – Attacking Obama for promising dialogue. Has no one told Lieberman the Cold War is over? He’s backing McCain, no doubt.
andrew golis – Featuring an excellent video by Jay Smooth on hip-hop and its ridiculously primitive homophobia. There *are* gay rappers, and they’re coming to get you…
Freemania – Upon closer inspection, Nick Clegg’s tax plans start to look a bit wooly. Indeed, “piffle” says Tom.
Scribo Ergo Sum – More on the Scientology is a cult controversy (it is).
A Very Public Sociologist – Remembers the uprisings and political flux of May 1968.

Finally… I’m moving to Tallinn, Estonia in June. I’ll still be writing and editing the NetCast, but I’m looking for writers who would like to write maybe one or two instalments per-week. Please drop me an email at aaronh [at] liberalconspiracy [dot] org if you’re interested.
