Weekending: November

A quick round-up of what's caught my eye on the web. Feel free to chip in down in the comments.

Blogs (some pinched from Phil, ta);

• The friendly lefty is a new lefty blogger. Excellent.
• Roots and resilience is a lefty into crime, human rights and migration.
  
• 21st Century Manifesto has that good nerdy attraction to statistics I like in a lefty.
• Another Communist Party blogger is one from the plough.
  
• Lansbury Lido is "politics from a democratic socialist and a christian socialist view".
• Also the Personal Accountability Log.
  

Posts and articles;

• Wonderful Carnival of Socialism Halloween special - yeah!
  
• An Indymedia FAQ on the postal strike.
• Doc Richard reports on the suppression of the Green Party in Rwanda
• Stephen Gray on why GM crops will not feed the world
  
• I don't link to Harry's Place often but their post on defend Peter Tatchell is well worth highlighting.
• Salman is rightly proud of his interview with Nick Clegg, although Clegg doesn't actually say much as far as I can see. That's not Salman's fault i hasten to point out!
  
• You elect a Green Left government in Iceland and what happens? McDonalds pulls out. It could happen here you know...
• Vile article in the Times on animal testing for botox.
• I never laugh at stories like this where an ambulance driver left a patient locked in his ambulance for five hours because he forgot about him. That would be cruel.
  
• Two Doctors looks at Scottish polls.
• Update on previous story: North Kelvin Community Meadow wins a prize.

• Weds 11th November CEDAW a convention on international women's rights.
  
• Sat 21st November People's Charter National Conference, in Camden.
