Japes, eh?

• The day begins with a courageous charge over the top on the part of Unity and Harry's Place who are suggesting that the British Wildcats website is nothing more than a BNP front;
• Meanwhile the UK Polling Report looks at what will happen to BNP support come the May elections;
• The new craze for hurling Jimmy Choos at leaders one doesn't approve of continues: this time the victim is the Chinese PM. As no less a philosopher than Austin Powers once said, "A shoe? Who throws a shoe?"
• Recess Monkey, Carol Vorderman, and that advert she did about "replacing the boiler." You're writing the jokes yourselves now, eh?
• And via Devil's Kitchen comes a widget that allows you to put your own slogan on the side of the bus, in the manner of the atheist bus campaign without the gurning sanctimony.
