Quaequam Blog! – The justice department wants us to all close our eyes and tap our ruby red shoes together chanting “There’s no legislation like child abuse legislation.” Eventually we may actually see some evidence to back it up too…maybe.
Obsolete – Scepticisle delves in to the impact Mary Whitehouse has had on our governance in lieu of the BBC show “Filth.” It also turns out Melanie Phillips is a hypocritical idiot, so no shocks there.
The blog of Dave Cole – Dave revisits one of the more interesting debates on LC and talks in depth about abortion and the “viability” argument.
Between the Hammer and the Anvil – Smoking being the new paedophilia is perhaps a little over-dramatic (as Devil’s Kitchen laments), but the liberties being ignored in the quest for perfect health are too many in number
Neil Stockley – Neil takes a superb look at the politics of ridicule, and also compares the Lib Dems to Barack Obama. I wonder who should be more flattered?
Peter Black AM – This story is already getting all over the blogosphere, so it deserves a mention…Labour to be broke by Christmas?
Moments of Clarity – In a rare instance of a debate on LC being taken outside of this site, Darrell attacks the “no platform policy” idea
Casting Back: The Guardian (2001) – John Crace’s article, in hindsight, showing naivety over the integrity of electoral systems

Can I point out that I’ve never suggested that smoking is the new paedophilia, or the new anything at all?

I’m prone to daft rhetorical flourishes for effect, but not quite that daft.

Have my apologies, the article I was originally going to put in was devil’s kitchen, but then I thought it’d be better to include your original article instead. I must have carried over the supposition from the first article in to describing yours.
