Welcome to this edition of the Roundup (which should have been out last Sunday – apologies) – you can contribute to the next by emailing nominations to britblog AT gmail DOT com.
A big week for the students, and blogging about students. Jim on The Daily (Maybe) did a roundup of coverage, and was there himself, there’s academic solidarity on An Open Letter by a Feminist,
while Harpy Marx is frustrated with Ed Miliband, and Richard Osley has picked out a young leader.
Elsewhere on the political side, Ed Miliband is in trouble again, this time for the promotion of baby formula, Jeff on Better Nation suggests Scotland may need an austerity plan (on which Molly on Gaian Economics has a view.)
The week also saw UN International Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls day.
On Sian and the Crooked Rib, there’s disgust at the reaction of Bristol Council worthies to an exhibition by women survivors of violence.
Elsewhere, The Magistrate comments on a tragic court case, and Charles Crawford has a salutory warning for public speakers.
It’s pleasing that the strength of local (and hyper-local) blogs is growing all of the time, providing a quality of coverage that many local newspapers probably never did, and certainly don’t do now. Diamond Geezer has a warning of Olympic travel difficulties, 853 is wondering who should run Greenwich Park, West Hampstead Life is concerned his locality has missed out on a typeface,
On The F-Word, a powerful demonstration of the power of stereotypes. On Random Acts of Reality, an explanation of why health workers may get sick a lot.
On the arts side, Camden Kiwi has seen A Dog’s Heart.
That’s all for this week – the next host, possibly quite soon! – is The Wardman Wire.
