After Friday’s controversy, today’s review comes to you live from an undisclosed location deep within the Tora Bora mountains.

Backlash is free

Denis MacShane, Labour MP for Rotherham, could still teach me a thing or two about causing a ruckus, though. On Sunday he created a firestorm on CiF when he had the temerity to cry, “Blair isn’t to blame for Islamist terror.” Such recklessness!

Lib Dems ignored?

Liberal Conspiracy has attracted a great deal of attention across the blogosphere in its first week. However, not all responses have been entirely positive: Lib Dem blogger, Chris K, criticises the blog’s arrogant exclusion of the “Liberal Democrat agenda”. Fair or unfair?

Remembering.

Dave Hill, like many bloggers, marked Remembrance Sunday with a simple Poppy image. Meanwhile The Periodic Englishman chooses history, tackling two “central myths” of WW1.

LabourHome’s “grayee” attended a Remembrance Sunday service in West Ham.

It might be good if “Liberal Conspiracy” had a LibDem sympathetic writer/blogger, to generate some articles that address the LibDem slant more directly? But beyond that, I guess we’ll either get some interested commenters from the LibDem side or we won’t, but either way we need more policy diaries to bring more people out of the woodwork?
