Webbo on webbo campaigning

From here to here to the video below.  We seem to be the best party at this but we could be doing so much more.  It’ll be interesting to see what Jerome Armstrong does with Paddick’s Campaign.

Reach out, reach out for me

I kept quiet about last week’s furore that split LibDems down the middle.  I felt that we should all just take a deep breath, count to 10 and remember why we joined the party in the first place.
No, I’m not talking about the EU treaty shambles, that was D.U.L.L.-O.,  I talking about the blog spats [...]

Naive DC

Currently passing the time by watching an episode of the series Tory! Tory! Tory!, a documentary about the rise of Thatcherite conservatives in the 70’s and 80’s, available on Veoh.

LVT and You and Me

Currently reading Fred Harrison’s book on land and taxation.  LVT seems like a particularly good idea, and liberal to boot. Yet, a quick perusal of the policy papers on tax reform shows minimal interest and essentially just says “we’ll think about it”.

Please step forward Mr…

Nicholas William Peter Clegg MP

Seven ways to beat us. hmm.

Liberal Burblings points to this post on the ToryHome website, detailing exactly how the Tories plan to take us to the cleaners:
DON’T GIVE THEM PUBLICITY (AND NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING DOESN’T WORK)

Newsnight quickie

Back from California just in time to catch the fun goings on in the leadership contest. Put simply, I didn’t think the calamity Clegg thingy and the growing bitchiness in each camp has done anyone any favours, least of all the party, but after watching the Newsnight debate just now I had my faith [...]
