In a post on the hosting of racists and extremists at OpenDemocracy, I wondered if Tom Griffin, associated with the now defunct NeoConEurope project, had been the man who posted racist material on that website. I said:
Who was the Kevin MacDonald fan at the University of Strathclyde? I think it may well be Tom Griffin. [...]

Sad news, from an entertaining voice on the blogosphere:
I love blogging becasue I love writing. I love politics, I love the Labour Party, I love writing abut Labour Party politics.
But the blog has become a burden. It’s taking up too much time (though not as much as some might think – I am a very [...]

Won’t somebody stop this madman?
I also relish the prospect of strangling another tweeter-in-crime: Gareth Compton, the Tory councillor who ran afoul of the authorities last week for tweeting the words “can someone please stone Yasmin Alibhai-Brown to death? I shan’t tell Amnesty if you don’t. It would be a blessing, really.”

Sunny Hundal, the Labour Tory Lib Dem Labour supporting blogger has written his oddest piece for some time.
It takes the form of an attack on the human rights activist, Gita Saghal. He ends with the following observation:
When you’re desperately trying to pretend the Catholic Church has done nothing wrong then you know something’s gone awfully [...]

As well as the Millibands, Diane Abbott has thrown her hat into the ring. Hopefully, this won’t mean a return to sofa government.
Andy Burnham has entered, although some might think he’d be wiser to win the leadership next time round.

Bully Balls (surely doomed by past associations and other concerns) is standing. So if you thought [...]

Another look around the BNP supporting blogs:
We begin with a post by BNP Legal Director Lee Barnes on ‘The Betrayal of Europe by the Churches’:
