Your daily six

We've got an interest crop of linklettes for your today;

• Today is blog action day on water, if only I had time... however, among others these people did Crafty Green Poet, Doc Richard, Philip Booth and Ecomonkey.
  
  
• Robin Blackburn is a very decent sort. Here he looks at alternatives to the Tory deficit in thinking. North of the border Jeff considers a tartan tax and the Guardian explores what companies need from the government to invest in renewable technologies.
  
  
• This Liberal Democrat site is interesting. I get the impression that people like Spiderplant 88 and Chris Mills are not alone in feeling betrayed by their party.
  
  
• Liam highlights the firefighters' strike in London.
  
  
• I'm not a fan of the personalisation of politics on the blogosphere, but I think this piece by Andrew Dobson on Paul Kingsnorth's move towards a nature centred living approach is well worth highlighting.
  
  
• Important information about Ed Miliband.
