DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Andrew Hickey

Think you’ve spotted a blog we should be linking to? EmailtipsATlcDOTorg and let us know!

Mark Steel talks about the arrogance of expense-fiddling politicians.

Jim Jay has the most comprehensive roundup of G20 protest reports I’ve seen.

Mark Pack at Lib Dem Voice asks “What is it about London Conservatives and expenses?”.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day and Scientific Blogging has news that Asperger’s Syndrome could be linked to the ‘stress hormone’ cortisol.

More depressingly The Weekly Carboholic has the latest news on the climate front. It’s not pretty.

SepticIsle makes a good point with regard to the protests – “Fundamentally, demonstrations are for sending these messages; putting “messages” into law, as both main parties in this country are intent on doing, is not so laudable.”

Amnesty report on the plight of Maryam Kallis, a British woman being detained in secret by the Syrian government, and ask for help.

And finally Justin at Chicken Yoghurt livetwittered yesterday’s protests in a way that was entirely suitable for April 1. Or browse through previous Netcasts
