  Know your enemy. Actually, the author of urlLink Conservative Commentary , a young, ahem, tory maintains one of the best political blogs I've come across, even if he makes me furious at every twist and turn.
Still - his site is interesting and full of good links. You'll notice I've been updating my links list, which is how I keep dredging up blogs at the moment.
The ones on the left are all good; particularly urlLink ...greyblog... , which is Chichester based, and which delves into blog radio a little, urlLink no rock and roll fun , which is great for pop music news and links (it has a picture of The White Stripes in the top left corner, but don't let that put you off), and urlLink linkmachinego , which is just lotsoflinkstointerestingstoriesalltightlyjumbledup. There's a good link to urlLink recently updated uk blogs , too, which is hosted at the same site. And I just joined the urlLink Blogging Brits blog ring, too.
