Welcome to Wednesday’s NetCast. Tips very welcome in the comments, or sent to tips[at]liberalconspiracy.org

Stephen’s Linlithgow Journal - The UK still treats HIV as if it were the 1980s. Hadn’t we got past overt discrimination?

Remembering the Ability in DisAbility - wonders whether a parent really needs a CRB check to transport their own child.

BorisWatch - The Mayor of London appears to be adjusting to a post-Livingstonian capital. About time.

Dave’s Part - How does death through dangerous knifing differ from death through dangerous driving?

Five Chinese Crackers - explores the liberal-left, the screaming-right, and their relative reactions to knife-crime.

Harpymarx - finds New Labour’s attempts to address that knife-crime very unsatisfactory, as does James.

Philobiblon - Underneath all the talk about the housing crisis lie some very hard facts about the legacy of the 1980s.

Douglas,

That second item is completely unbelievable. What the hell is going on? Whoever thought that was a reasonable rule ought to be sacked. And, yes, I am becoming ‘disgusted from Tunbridge Wells’.

Thanks for the link, Douglas Johnson, and for the comment, Douglas Clark.

I agree with you totally, Douglas Clark! Do you have a blog? If not, you should. You talk a lot of sense!

sarah,

No, I don’t have a blog, but I comment a lot on Pickled Politics. Which is my favourite space on the whole damned Internet. If you want intelligent debate that’s the place to go…IMVHO.

Though obviously the rest of them are wrong. Kidding.

Sunny seems to keep quiet about it right enough, though it’s part of his global empire…….

As you know, I love PP too! I think it’s about time you set up a blog of your own. I would definitely visit it regularly!


Reactions: Twitter, blogs
