This is a fairly brusque Britblog Roundup for the 6/10/2008, as I am currently off the Internet at home - so this is being written at home in Blogdesk (highly recommended - at least double your blogging productivity, and you can write in the bath subject to electric shocks where it hurts when you drop your laptop. Mac Users can go looking for “Ecto”) in the bar of a local pub with free Wireless Access. The imagined beady eye of the landlady watching over the time/revenue ratio dictates that the style of the Roundup is “spare”.

This week: lots of Civil Liberties going .. going .. gone missing, lots of feminism, some politics, a bit of analysis to Party Conferences, and the (first?) ex-Minister announcing his new status on a Blog within a few minutes.

I am doing the Britblog Roundup this weekend.

If you have seen a post in the British Blogosphere that deserves a wider audience, please email details to britblog AT gmail DOT com.

The best posts in the British blogosphere have been rounded up by Mr Eugenides this week.

Featured posts include this Sino-Sceptic Beau Bo D’Or cartoon and a report on the 437 BBC personnel visiting Beijing for the 2008 Olympics, which compares with 300 British Competitors and “several” politicians and their retinue. Oh - and 39 policemen.

Is over at Suzanne Lamido’s place - the “here come the girls” edition.

That headline will get the traffic, and the review deserves it. These girls aren’t faking.

The roundup is a compendium of last week’s outstanding posts in the British Blogosphere.

Sanddef made this comment on Liberal Conspiracy yesterday, in a conversation about blogs getting - or not getting - media attention in Wales:

At least news that spring from blogs get a mention in the English press; in the Welsh media this is not the case, despite the fact that political news and comment is pretty much run by and dependent on the blogosphere here.

A “Welsh Blog Roundup Radio Spot” would help fill that gap.

A quick Zimbabwe alert.

I am told that Zimbabwe Election blogging will be featuring on BBC R5 Pods and Blogs tonight at 2am GMT.

I will put the piece in the Britblog Roundup podcast for this week.

By the way - the Britblog Roundup this week should put some Pepper in your Porridge.
