Welcome to today’s web review, please feel free to post your own recommendations in the comments…

ObseleteKelvin MacKenzie doesn’t want to get on the wrong side of public opinion. Shouldn’t he have thought about that 20 years ago, though?

Aled Dilwyn Fisherpoints out how hearing Tory greenwash is akin to being caressed by natural yoghurt. And so is only moderately kinky, it’d seem.

BlairWatchThe Lisbon Treaty is an exercise in linguistic dishonesty and obfustication. What would Orwell say?

The Daily (Maybe) – Npower’s bills are up 17%. Their profits are up 41%. The figures speak for themselves when it comes to rising fuel costs.

Guy Dammann - explores the value of anonymity.

A Very Public Sociologist - on reclaiming the concept of public value from the market fundamentalists.

“hearing Tory greenwash is akin to being caressed by natural yoghurt. And so is only moderately kinky, it’d seem. ”

Kinky is using a yoghurt, perverted is using the whole cow?

Please don’t put that image in my head. It could quite possibly taint my consumption of cheese, yoghurt, milk and other dairy products for life.

Then my work here is done ;)

Thanks for the link, Doug…

As a vegetarian but not a vegan, that image is going to put me off meet products for a while as well… :)

By “meet”, I obviously meant meat… and also diary products!

Another great netcast, Doug.

Far be it for me to defend the Power Companies, but they’re buying fuel on the futures market. So if they’re presumably selling at LIFO pricing, it will skew their profits.

Maybe it should be mandated that they price at FIFO – but then customers would be even more annoyed if intnl prices are low, yet they’re being charged at a previous high rate. I’m no expert, but things are not always so simple.

Also, if you own the means of pdtn, as some suppliers do, a high market price is bound to mean bigger profits in a deregulated market.

Of course there could be some “price gouging”, but I’m not sure.
