Rocking (ahem) the boat

BONG! Hopi Sen analyses the balanced media coverage of the Northern Rock saga.

BONG! All together now: Labour's in the money! It's in the money! It's got a lot of what it takes to get in trouble with the Electoral Commission!

BONG! Conservative Shadow Minister Nick Herbert (whose elaborately styled coiffure leads one to suspect he doesn't let it near naked flame very often) has announced when the Conservatives get in he's going to build more prisons. Overnight. By magic!

BONG! Member of the God Squad says: "what this country needs is principled policy both at home and abroad. Therefore I'm going to stop bitchin' from the sidelines, put my money where my mouth is and stand for elected office like Mr Blair did. I know for a fact that it's not easy to balance one's personal and private religious views with a commitment to ensuring that all voices in the public sphere are heard." Or not.

BONG! And Wonkette on those Australian elections and the full importance of the state apology.
