If you ever feel happy about the state of politics in the UK today, take a daily gander at my erstwhile friend Tim’s site bloggerheads.com. It’s through Bloggerheads that most of the UK’s internet-based political opinion, analysis and linky goodness comes from. A daily dose of cynicism does you good, and in Tim’s case the points he makes are often inspired and completely true.
So, what’s made me cynical today, entirely because of Tim? This:
– The Sun hides bad news for the Government behind fluffy headlines. Every. Single. Time.
– Taking away your right to protest.
Also, old Labour figures are leaving with a nasty taste in their mouths. This storming leaving speech (full speech here) by Labour MP Brian Sedgemore is simply wonderful.
But sometimes, all I get from his site is hope. Hope that one day the stuff he puts on there will be taken up by the masses and get noticed, that Blair and his cronies will be shown up for what they are and chastised for what they are doing. Hope springs eternal from these links:
– The Disappearing Labour Party.
– It would take just one person to bring down Blair.
And then Tim, Clive and I go and tell everyone to Back Blair. What are we thinking?
“It’s through Bloggerheads that most of the UK’s internet-based political opinion, analysis and linky goodness comes from.” This comment is in the wrong part of your site – it should be in ‘100 Funniest Jokes of All Time’ (It’s certainly more amusing than anything I’ve ever read on Bloggerheads.)
