DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

Plenty of comment on the Bradford and Bingley situation: Stephen Glenn reports a conversation between Senor Bradford and Senor Bingley; Chicken Yoghurt has productive suggestions for buy-to-let landlords; Jonny Nexus has no sympathy for small shareholders; Nich Starling has some regulatory suggestions for Gordon; Anton Vowl comments in his usual, inimitable, style; even So Very Doomed have picked up on it…

RM
, a native New Yorker, has an open letter to Sarah Palin, telling her to stop using 9/11 as a political football.

Jonathan Calder has some suggestions for the Tories on how to conduct their conference.

Charles Darwin, meanwhile, has been casting a rheumy Victorian eye over the Labour party conference.

Live Science points out scientific proof that immigration reduces crime rates. Commenters pick holes with anecdotal “evidence” and no sense of irony.

Amused Cynicism has a retort for those who think that whatever Labour do, the Tories will be worse.

Liberal Harpie muses on the lack of male primary school teachers.

Charlotte Gore, champion of the underdog, sticks up for smokers.

Ahem!

OK, OK, I lied. I’m eating dried apricots, too.


Reactions: Twitter, blogs
