Welcome to Wednesday’s Netcast, slightly later than usual. Tips and/or gratuitous abuse in the comments, or to tips[at]liberalconspiracy.org.

Mike Tuffrey AM - damns BoJo with faint praise. If that.

Peezedtee - Are liberals paying enough attention to Afghanistan? Proably not.

The DisAbled Feminist - Shouldn’t women be allowed to play 5 set tennis too? Seems fair…

Huffington Post - The far-right has a problem with patriotism. (A tip: For the hyperbolic, it’s usually known as fascism.)

Scribo Ergo Sum - James considers the Anglican schism with uncertain eyes. And calls me an anti-clericist, which seems about right…

Johann Hari - thinks we should allow religious discrimination. And lots of it!

BlairWatch - on the depressing reliability of the African Union.

And now, off to find a job…

It seems I shan’t have the opportunity, there being quite literally nothing going near me…

Keep it up, Doug. It took me a few months after uni to find a grad job.

I’m mulling over a “proper” job myself.

Not because I need it. I had no intention of working full-time here in Tallinn. I just really fancy a job I have seen. The tutoring and copy work is enough - cash wise (in fact the tutoring alone is enough), but I’m tickled by an opportunity that may be up my street…
