BRITBLOG review, as told by Westminster Wisdom:

I apologise for not doing this yesterday- other things drove it out of my mind! Anyway here we are today with a more limited and yet still illustrious list of posts from the UK blogosphere. We cover a whole range of experience here from the 17th to the 20th Century.

Anyway to kick off how about reading James Hamilton’s views on Capello’s managment style- interesting and thoughtful as ever. Capello may be adopting a distant style to his players, but as Dave Cole points out the Tories are adopting a much more nannying style to the country.

Freemania suspects though that the Tories themselves may need some nannying: is Cameron really only just about as good as Kinnock? Who cares anyway? From the desk of George Galloway we have the greatest attack on Imperialist scum ever delivered- may they die in their own individual Trotskyite, Zinovievist, Bukharanist, revisionist running dog hells!

But if they don’t it doesn’t matter, as they’ll start blogging and end up in a legal fight: Mr Eugenides seeks to adjudicate in the latest battle betwixt Tim Ireland and Guido Fawkes. Calm down lads, the real idiocy is about the issues (as I said yesterday), Matt Sinclair’s got a bee in his bonnet about the latest paper from the Social Market foundation on climate change– he isn’t too impressed.

Incidentally happy birthday Matt- for a two year old you are quite articulate. Don Paskini is another articulate lad concerned with issues, this week its sharing the proceeds of growth and how the Tories don’t even understand their own policies! And that’s good as it means that you don’t have to attend SOAS, where the Iranians are putting on conferences funded with our public money- go to Harry’s Place and see what you can do about it. Or rather don’t, because society is going to pot anyway and its all religion’s fault: we’ve been having the argument over at Liberal Conspiracy, go and start with Kate Belgravia’s provocative and well written post on why Jesus Christ should dominate our politics less.

Thing is that Kate should calm down, afterall look at what all those Muslims gave us in the Middle Ages: modern science and all– not convinced- well time to bring on the historians!

And here they come, leaping like a herd of wilderbeast through some savannah forest. First up is that classic civil war debate between Pepper and Puddle the two dogs- canine confusion becomes a metaphor for other debates. On a more illustrious subject, the Early Modern Whale circles around the Old Cheapside Cross and finds out what he can about its history.

Some of us though are only too depressed by the present, its hard to avoid when you here that the bulbs are coming up even earlier than usual in Kew Gardens. But not everything is depressing- and ending on a high note- just consider the Political Umpire’s tale of these two human beings whose bodies are joined together.
