Weekending: ten spots from the week

Ahhh, the end of the week. Let's see what's what this weekend.

• I spy a new Green Blog Simon's Blogtacular Blog. Very good start, check it out.
• Green Home's a Green blog hub - if you're not there tell me and I'll get you in (wink).
  
• The Sydney Morning Herald on prison privatisation.
  
• Great interview with feminist Nawal el Saadawi by Natalie Bennett.
• Charlotte Gore asks, is Labour talking up the BNP?
  
• Sri Lanka seems far away. These two pieces in Red Pepper help bring it closer.
• I thought Adrian Windisch's post on geo-engineering and bio-char was really interesting.
  
• There is a stonking Carnival of Socialism hosted by HarpyMarx, out today.
• Tom Harris fesses up. Labour fucked up.
  
• Deputy Leader of the Greens Adrian Ramsey is obviously the apple of my eye - but he's also been judged to be the fifth sexiest male politician in the country. Objective fact!
  

Video of the week is from a mass canvas "up north" in Fleetwood. Really nice little clip including the insuperable Peter Cranie (standing in the Euros), the indefatigable Gina Dowding (standing at the general) and the inimitable Rachel Normington (standing for council).
