DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Lee Griffin

Glenn Greenwald discusses John Brennan’s withdrawl from the running for an Obama administration spot. How much did bloggers play a part?

Liberal Eye writes a great piece that further explores why we cannot shop our way out of this crisis.

Mary Reid writes as good a rebuttal of the BNP as anyone, the way we should be fighting the BNP…with intelligence and common sense, not illiberal attitudes.

MKNE notes that aside from all of the economic issues in our news, we should also be paying attention to some key votes in Iraq over the next few months. Would Brown be secretly hoping to save money through being forced out of Iraq?

Toran Shaw echo’s what most are no doubt thinking, when MFI and Woolies can go bust, no-one can be truly safe. Except maybe Tesco.

Colin Ross wants to use the current climate to completely reform tax and benefit systems, though seemingly whilst ignoring EU rules at the same time!

Richard Baum gives a strong moral argument for why a C-Charge shouldn’t be accepted in Manchester.

5CC keeps up the sterling work in pointing out clear abuses of statistics in tabloids, this time about immigrants tekkin our jerbs.
