DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

President Baroness Ros Scott does the 25 things meme and it’s actually INTERESTING (although not as knicker-wettingly hilarious as Empress Jessica’s version); requisite Lib Dem prowess on the Wii and Doctor Who geekery is evident.

The Award-winning Alix Mortimer feels terribly sorry for Manchester, cradle of the Labour party’s social experimentation.

Mr Quist has a cunning plan for Lib Dem recruitment (which would probably work for the other parties too)

Lynne Featherstone is wondering where all her suitors are, given that she’s second only to Andy Burnham in the sexy politician stakes.

Norfolk Blogger has the knives out for poor old Lembit.

Jonathan Calder has an interesting tale of the consequences of privatising justice.

The Hedgehog From Hell has goatse’d the Daily Fail. Serves the buggers right, I say.

And finally, if you just can’t get enough linky goodness, follow the well-trodden path to Septicisle.

If Ros knows the incredible Arthur Brown, whom I had the pleasure of interviewing in Bradford many years ago as well as putting on a gig by him in Leicester about five years back, then it’s another reason why I made the right choice of Party president.

He was astoundingly good live, I know that.

Skeletor has his own day? And I’m only hearing about this now?! I feel like I’ve lost a perfect opportunity to watch Masters of the Universe on DVD. Next year, is there any chance the netcast could do a “Countdown to St Skeletors Day” just to remind people?

It’s possible, Neil, but I can’t guarantee it.

Yes, I can imagine Quist’s plans for the Labour party right now… “Come! Learn the ways of deception and spin…get involved with encouraging for people to vote for this party, even though none of you get a say in how we do things! Fly my monkeys…fly!”
