DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Douglas Johnson

Our Kingdom - Alex Salmond’s comments on Thatcher’s legacy show mainstream politicians are as united in their private acceptance of her policies as they are in public condemnation.

Dave’s Part - The American left is too weak to assert itself any more.

James Grieves - Has the music industry found an acceptable compromise?

Obselete - on that “Gordon Brown is insane” meme.

The Daily (Maybe) - hosts the Carnival of Socialism.

Two Doctors - Just, don’t eat tuna.
