A few comments here and there while we gear up for the usual article writing and news observing. There’s lots of titbits being thrown up in the news that deserve at least a fleeting bit of attention. Exhausted Parliament For those who missed the farce that calls itself parliamentary...

The Runs has advice for J’accuse (indirectly of course). We’re in a good mood so we dispense some “tips” of our own. Warning: the contents of this blog have been known to confuse intellectually inferior beings – idiots should proceed under adult...

An excellent promo for the Vote for Change in the UK. Is this momentum gathering or the last chance to change a system? spread the word:TweetEmailPrintMoreLike this:Like...

While we are on the subject of links here are two blogs from the UK Big League that featured J’accuse this week. Iain Dale – writer, speaker, broadcaster and politician – gave J’accuse a mention on his blog’s feature “the Daley Dozen” on Wednesday....

Where we point out DCG’s sudden U-turn on matters of blogging and netiquette. Cheers Charles! A while ago, when the Runs had still not descended to the depths of Plategate, Daphne had opted to cut and paste a whole blogpost from J’accuse into her blog (Someone else’s point of...

The PL’s recently founded think-tank, IDEAT, has just published its first quarterly online journal – Ideat Journal. We might tend to judge a journal by whether or not we agree with its content – which would not be the right way to go about it. I’ve read through some of...

In the time it takes to consume a heavy, unhealthy lunch at the canteen (should I say restaurant) at the ECJ we get sufficient proof of the value of Web 2.0 in internet elections. Gordon Brown was caught off guard this morning after an exchange with a Labour voter. Having shielded her...

An interesting article by Iain Dale in the online Telegraph queries whether the UK is really having an “internet election”. Dale comments that: This was supposed to be the election when internet politics came of age, when the blogosphere and social media sites such as Twitter and...

As I said in the previous post, speculation on Cleggmania is ripe in the papers. I just came across another article as I ran through today’s Times. Incidentally, for an election that is only ten days away it is incredible how (proportionally) little newspaper space it takes up. The front...

Cleggmania is generating a huge amount of literature (is it too big a word?) on the subject of third way politics. I came across this article by David Mitchell in the Observer (David Cameron feels the hand of history where it hurts) and it was one of those articles that you read while...
