“But in the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.”

Welcome to the Friday edition of Liberal Conspiracy’s daily web review. Have to be quick as I’m – SHOCK! HORROR! – in the market for a proper job and I must get busy. Wish me luck.

Millennium Dome, Elephant – The Elephant’s own take on that controversial Policy Exchange report.

The People’s Republic of Mortimer – Alix questions the wisdom of all those ranting against that PolEx report. What exactly is so great about northern top-down regeneration?

Political Betting – Are the Clintons planning to knife Obama in back at the Democratic convention?

PFLD – A collection of Tory slogans. My favourites being, “The Conservative Party: A Better Class of Sex Scandal” and “Vote Conservative: We promise to keep Iain Dale away from anything important.” Meow!

Anthony Painter [video] – Yeah, McCain actually says, “But in the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.” Jesus this guy is his own worst enemy.

The Daily (Maybe) – Jim has a Q&A with the candidates running for the Green Party leadership race.

That’s all folks. Better be off. Bye. *waves*

Politcal betting is getting rubbish is it as bad as guido fawkes. They allow the abusive troll thugs from Guido fawkes sick website on who make up sick smears about the labour party. PB needs to get it’s house in order. There are some real scum on it’s comments section. It is not as bad as guido fawkes but is getting there.
Why have you not reported on the fact that the snp were campainging in a seat before a man had died.

Khalilzad’s reaction was much more convenient – “We wanna make sure that our Russian colleagues understand that the days of overthrowing leaders by military means…in Europe…are gone.”

Because I didn’t see the article, but thanks for pointing it out.

Oh and just to make sure tories do not claim tjhis is daily mirror smear. It was also in the telegraph, that the snp have been preparing.

Rosa Prince says
“while they may deny it, I am told the nats have been preparing their campaign for some time.”

It is not morally right in my view to campaign in a seat while a man in his deathbed. It should be seen as a new low.

Here is another report in the daily record that he spoke out that he was planning to stand again admist reports the snp and lib dems were planning a by election campaign while he was still alive.
