DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Lee Griffin

John Q Publican has a brilliant analysis on the mentality and actions of the police at protests.

Faisal Islam/Snowblog looks towards todays budget.

Chicken Yoghurt quite rightly makes it clear we are not anti-police, merely against their brutal and disproportionate actions.

Political betting.com wonders whether or not Gordon Brown will rue the decisions he’s made on expenses.

Himmelgarten Cafe on the creep of prejudice against fatties. Would it be acceptable if the same arguments were used against disabled people?

My blog has a quick comment on the release of the “terrorists” in Manchester, but more worryingly why are they being deported?

Plane stupid notes about further abuses of section 44 powers to restrict harmless photography.

And finally Science, so what? talks about the pressing issue of our beloved bees; alternatively browse through previous Netcasts
