A strange return to the 1790s (Early Edition)

Very early, today. There’ll probably be an update at an unspecified time in the afternoon.

Dave Hill - Gender stereotypes affect everyone. Badly.

The Daily (Maybe) - The Guardian may have made a little mistake. Stick to public-sector advertising, perhaps?

Stumbling and Mumbling - examines the root of knife crime. And, yes, it’s (roughly) the economy, my dears.

Penny Red - A wail of despair for desperate Londoners afflicted by the curse of BoJo. And cites Blake, and so is consequently worth a visit for that alone.

Back Towards the Locus - Melanie Phillips regurgitates bile. As usual.

Splintered Sunrise - proves a surprisingly good ventriloquist.

Scribo Ergo Sum - What links a 214-year dead tyrant and the Prevention of Terrorism Act? Hint: It’s not the economy. For once.

Tips to the usual address (tips[at]liberalconspiracy.org) or in the comments.

“afflicted by the curse of BoJo”

when will the wailing of the losers end?
