DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Lee Griffin
Septicisle on a lesser publicised story of inappropriate behaviour of our various law enforcement bodies, and where some of our effort from the outrage at Green being arrested should now go.
Stephen Glenn knows that you can’t point out ministerial hypcorisy enough, not just from the Tory side of the Green situation.
Charlotte Gore tries to make a case for libertarianism with regards to Baby P, though seems to find only more questions
Jock equally looks for the libertarian (or anarchic) response, though sees more problems in societies flaws than political ideology.
Hagley road to Ladywood also has some comments on the Baby P situation, though more of the power of the press in the whole mess.
Darrell rounds up nicely some of the responses coming out to the now public video of Mr Green’s offices being searched.
Gavin Whenman points out yet more tabloid hysteria, this time for John Barrowman exposing himself…even though no-one could see him do so.
