- Ed Balls makes a comment to his local Labour Party about how this recession thing is going to be pretty bad, and before he knows it he's being splashed all over the front of the dailies in the same sentence as the word "gaffe", poor bloke. Still, he should have known better; as my one time office manager exclaimed whilst reading about how an MP's infidelity came to light, "He boasted to his Labour Group about it? Why didn't he just hand over the photos the the News of the Screws himself?"
- The bankers [is this cockney rhyming slang? - Ed] who deserve loadsa taxpayers' money for being so indispensible to the nation's fiscal security are in Treasury Committee in the House of Commons today. Don Paskini and Hopi Sen have more;
- Jacqui Smith is probably in the clear over her expenses. Thank the Lord, the sight of online ejaculations across teh Tory internetz was putting your correspondent off her sausages;
- The Liberal Conspiracy on how the Jews and the Sikhs get a better deal out of religious hate legislation. Well, let's help them out, shall we folks? Jews and Sikhs are covered by the Race Relations Act because they are fulfill a specific criteria that marks them out as sharing racial characteristics, unlike (say) Muslims who cannot be defined in the same way. When the Government attempted to extend similar protection to our Islamic comrades under the Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill, its provisions were roundly shouted down as [insert Porteresque platitude of buttock-clenching pomposity here] by the bloke from Blackadder and ... liberals! Gotta love that selective memory failure.
- The anti-intellectual march of the militant atheists is elegantly skewered by Freemania;
- ... and Photoshop Disasters fears for the bowels of this model.
