Rush Rush Rush Busy Busy Busy
Am in a bit of a rush this morning as am the the Fantastic Films Weekend in Bradford and overdosing on Peter Cushing. And possibly booze also. With that in mind, today’s Casting the Net might be a bit rough around the edges… All views expressed are the views of the author, not of the site, etc.
Andrew Ducker links to a very interesting article about how people read on the web. Everybody who writes for the web ought to read it, and the comments. Yes, even the contributors to this fine site. I felt the tl;dr reaction coming on me about half way through it, which is a bit ironic, but that’s because this is mostly stuff I have heard before.
Adrian Sanders MP has news that we are subsidising the aviation industry to the tune of £10bn a year. Yes it’s a MySpace Blog. No, I don’t get why his constituents like it either, but apparently they do.
Jonathan Calder has the same point of view as me on the Davis situation. Of course, we’d be screwed if we ran as well, but which way are we MORE screwed? I suspect Lib Dems will be arguing about this for some time.
Norfolk Blogger meanwhile, thinks that if the polls are right, Labour should run. Of course, he is relying on the pre-Davis resignation polls…
Political Betting reports on the predictable Lib Dem poll squeeze (and much smaller Labour poll squeeze) on voter intention for a general election after we stupidly supported David Davis we didn’t field a candidate in a single issue election.

Note: when reading Political Betting I go with recieved wisdom for both it and Comment is Free: if you value your sanity, don’t read the comments.
Jennry: the two national polls published today have the Liberal Democrats either on the same rating as the previous poll from the same company or slightly up. That’s not exactly a “squeeze”…
Mark: glad your spelling is as bad as mine on a Sunday morning
Reactions: Twitter, blogs
