DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Lee Griffin

Harpymarx is one of only a few in the blogosphere today to actively condemn the type of thinking that has led to Purnell announce his regressive white paper.

Mutant blog is bemused as to why Jack Straw wants to water down the HRA, on the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of all days?

Small town scribbles is a bit angry with relatives and the amount of faith unduly given to them. Should parents have to earn the right to be viewed as knowing what’s best for their own child?

CiF/Dave Hill reminds us that in light of recent child protection cases, it’s time to drop previous strategies from “Every Child Matters” and start afresh.

Freethink doesn’t believe that a post Lisbon-treaty EU would be any better with their foreign policy than they are now.

“Harpymarx is one of only a few in the blogosphere today to actively condemn the type of thinking that has led to Purnell announce his regressive white paper.”

That’s because everybody else did it yesterday… ;)

Today = yesterday until today at 10am, and there wasn’t any kind of condemnation of worth that I could see. Feel free to link to some articles that did.

The problem with condemning Mr Purnell today / yesterday is that, as with everything else from this vile government, he’s already announced it at least 73 times. So those of us with any sense of shame (ministers obviously excepted) don’t want to post the same condemnation daily and look so repetitive.

But I can offer the previous pick-axings to Mr Purnell’s loathsome midset from, er, me, and from my other half’s elephant:
