Welcome to Casting the net, Liberal Conspiracy’s daily web review. As always, please feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments section. So, did you feel the earthquake? Clearly the work of Islamic Terrorists if you ask me, that or Climate Change…

Highlights
Chicken Yoghurt - HMP Blunkett
If you listen to the Tory bloggers, you’d think Justin was a Labour apparatchik (and therefore to be ignored), yet if you actually read his writing, you’d realise he’s one of the country’s most important bloggers. You see, this is the rub: there are a number of liberally-minded bloggers who don’t toe any particular party line. I know, baffling isn’t it?

Cassilis - This weeks Think Tank Roundup…
Liam Murray posts this week’s review of what’s going around in the heads of the political brainiacs.

Bishop Hill - How to lose readers
Giving Accountancy 101 to Nick Clegg.

Jonathan Calder/LDV - Top of the Blogs: The Dirty Dozen #2
Calder’s picks from the Labour and Tory blogosphere - from a Lib Dem perspective, naturally.

Elsewhere
The Daily (Maybe) - [Film] Review: there will be blood
Indigo Jo Blogs - The death penalty in light of the recent murder convictions
Mike Ion - Hospital car park charges really are a tax on the sick
Kerron Cross - Are The Germans To Blame For UK Earthquake?
TMP Online - Bright in hot water at the Statesman
Jamie C’s Political Hotspot - Jamie C’s Political Hotspot
politicalhackuk - Murder in mind

>If you listen to the Tory bloggers…

Why on earth would you want to do that? Anyone who thinks Justin’s even vaguely a “Labour man” has probably read about, er, 3 lines of his writing.

Re Justin. I absolutely agree and I’ve said so elsewhere. When he’s on form he’s untouchable. But the important thing about Justin (apart from his independence of mind) is not just his undoubted ability to write exceptionally well it’s his ability to write exceptionally well for the medium he’s working in - i.e. blogging. Now, that is a rare talent.

Sorry for any embarrassment caused, Justin :)
