Just spent the weekend at LDYS Conference in Bristol. Speakers included party president Simon Hughes and fellow blogger Peter Black. We were amused to find as we arrived that we had been condemned in Friday’s Daily Mirror. There were some painfully close elections, lots of policy debate and some great karaoke last night.

Via Anders, I bring you BetLiberal – a website encouraging people to vote LibDem in order to make an absolute killing at the bookies when we win the General Election. It’s certainly a novel idea and I really do wish them all the best with it. Don’t think I’ll be having a flutter though.
Reviewing Saw is tricky because I don’t want to give too much away.
It’s a well-paced, tense thriller with more than a few nods towards 1995’s Se7en. Two men wake up in a room together with a blood-drenched body on the floor between them and soon realise, through the power of flashbacks, that they are the victims of a serial killer.
The cast are uniformly excellent and the direction suitably sharp. But for a film that is so much about the plot, it’s astoundingly good. There are just the right number of hints to let you think you’ve got the whole thing worked out and apparent goofs which turn out to be clues.
If you like a clever thriller, I heartily recommend Saw.
