Weekending: 30th August

Not only the week but also August is ending. Shall we miss them? Perhaps a little;

• New blog on the block - Green Christian.
• Check out Jamblichus, you might like it.
• Joyous, that's the only word I can use to describe Glum Councillors.
  

• Are you boycotting Scotland? If so, please do it properly.
• Carnival of Feminism... number two.
  
• I've recently heard about the Union of Concerned Scientists. Interesting.
• A generation of Indian children crippled by uranium waste.
• How green socialism can save the UK.
  

Some more selected climate camp round-uppery;

• Liberal Conspiracy - the real point of climate camp.
• HarpyMarx visits - with camera.
• Sunny Hundal also took some lovely pics.
• More 'official' photos here.
  
• Bristling Badger compares Newbury and Climate Camp.
• Caroline Lucas speaks at the Camp on happiness.
• Guardian News Quiz on the camp.
• The Daily Mail reports. Yes it does.

Some site news;

Over the next week(ish) I'm going to be making radical adjustments to my blogroll links in the right hand column. It's never been comprehensive yet has always been far too long to be of any real use to anyone. So, given the fact that I'm an aficionado of link love and have always believed that linking here in the posts is far more effective than a static link on the roll over there, I'm going to strip it down to the bare minimum.

I hope that makes it more usable for readers without offending anyone I remove - as that will be 95% of you. I will continue to link to you in my posts and also feel free to do what some call 'link whoring' - where you gratuitously link to a post you've written that you think deserves wider coverage - although please, only on the weekending threads.

If you think this is a bad policy let me know now, before I do it, rather than after when I'll be far too lazy to go back and get all those deleted posts back online.
