RT @KJBar: Republican Party chooses Lord Christopher Monckton as its "expert witness" for climate hearing: http://bit.ly/bZ4HoB #
@KJBar Even C-Span refers to Monckton as a former "aide to Margaret Thatcher". At best this is a distortion of the truth. in reply to KJBar #
@ETwads You obviously failed grade 5 Science… in reply to ETwads #

RT @crackers_76: "In some ways, I prefer it to a newspaper." RT @mfarnsworth: I love The Sun…: http://twitpic.com/1lwuje #
@crackers_76 On a par with 'Yes, Minister': Sun readers don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits http://bit.ly/9tJh5m in reply to crackers_76 #

Podcast.. RT @mattkerry81: Excellent edition of Guardian Election Daily: http://bit.ly/aJ1VR8 #ge2010 #
@Colvinius Yes, good piece. But counter-intuitively, in practice, I'm not convinced that PR makes for more responsive government… in reply to Colvinius #
@Colvinius There's something to be said for single-member electorates, a direct line of voter accountability, no diffusion of responsibility in reply to Colvinius #

Ever wondered what the inside of Number 10 looks like? http://bit.ly/aADuof | RT @prospect_uk /via @ComplexNumber #
@journojones Ah, not really! In another life I might have been a headline writer. in reply to journojones #
Twitter is the New CNN http://bit.ly/aV8mNu /via @lyndons – not a social medium but a means of information dissemination. #
@feneleyinlondon I agree entirely! I tweeted the article because of its argument that Twitter is an information medium, not a social medium. in reply to feneleyinlondon #
@feneleyinlondon In fact I'm considering unfollowing every Canberra-based journalist because I feel besieged by the major media outlets! in reply to feneleyinlondon #
Sounds good… I think… RT @benmoretti: Twitter's a semantic social media message bus! 🙂 #
@Gibbot5000 My follow policy is simple: interesting information, news or links related to my profile topics = follow. in reply to Gibbot5000 #
A crudity that was just too much: http://bit.ly/bU0UgH – an interesting and thoughtful piece from Miranda Devine on the Deveny dismissal. #
RT @feneleyinlondon: but what annoys me abt the gallery journos is they mostly talk among themselves; rarely engage in broader twitter chat #
Many MPs are the same. The overwhelming majority of MPs/journalists I follow don't follow back and don't respond to tweets @feneleyinlondon #
Of course, I could just be dreadfully uninteresting…. @feneleyinlondon #
Quiz question, in keeping with recent tweets. You're only allowed one source of news (eg. 1paper, 1 TV channel, 1 website). What is it? Why? #
RT @Tim_Beshara: If its just one, then it would be ABC-Kids "Behind the News". It gives news wrap up with context- nothing like it. #
@GrogsGamut But if you could have only one of those 3, which would it be? in reply to GrogsGamut #
RT @paulwiggins: NewYork Times packages brainfood and wire services #desertislanddisk #
RT @linzc: Truth is, Twitter is now my main source. People I like/trust/admire link to the good stories from papers, tv websites etc #
@linzc That's one way of subverting my hypothetical! in reply to linzc #
@Gibbot5000 I didn't think this through..! Pretend it's China and we're only allowing one site, not an aggregator. in reply to Gibbot5000 #
@Colvinius alert!! RT @Captainsuburbia: ABC Local Radio. If you listen to news at 6 then PM, everything that's really important is covered. #
@feneleyinlondon Hehehe… I should have banned aggregation. Don't you think someone would realise I have shares in the NYT? in reply to feneleyinlondon #
My answer to my own question is Radio National. If I could have nothing else at all, this would be the only way of getting Aust & int. news. #
RT @anabalentovic: 'How's it hanging?' is the new greeting at the British parliament #hung #ge2010 #
@feneleyinlondon Next January, I believe. I'll be willing (if not happy) to pay when it happens. in reply to feneleyinlondon #
@Gibbot5000 Of course, but I could be happy with RN. Or happy with the ABC as a whole. Can't think of anything else that would do it for me. in reply to Gibbot5000 #
Yes, an acceptable broad-ranging network. RT @emilybwebb: ABC Newsradio. I am addicted. #
RT @angelabdc: Compromise leadership proposal. Here in Scotland we'll take Gordon, English take Dave, share custody of Nick 6 months each. #
@Captainsuburbia Solution: If you've got an iPhone, the ABC app allows you to stream NewsRadio. in reply to Captainsuburbia #
@feneleyinlondon Unlike the Fin Review who charge print subscribers twice to get access to the website. Finished my lifetime of subscribing. in reply to feneleyinlondon #
@feneleyinlondon That's fair. The Fin won't even offer an online-only subscription. in reply to feneleyinlondon #
@feneleyinlondon Wanna share your password with a close friend on Twitter…? in reply to feneleyinlondon #
@feneleyinlondon They once rang me to accuse me of sharing my password – I was simply using it at work and at home on 2 computers. in reply to feneleyinlondon #
There's a very funny Margaret Thatcher story at the end of this extract from Christopher Hitchens' memoirs: http://bit.ly/czzytp #
Meanwhile… RT @Bellistre: I DON'T WANT THE DIRTY SCUMMY TORIES RUNNING THIS GREAT NATION!! #dontdoitnick #bloodytories #ge2010 #
I've had a vision of the first Cameron/Clegg press conference http://twitpic.com/1m291i RT @TonyH_approx: #dontdoitnick #
@Polyquats She's okay, although I must admit no-one has ever quite done Breakfast as well as Peter Thompson did. in reply to Polyquats #
@Polyquats True… she does have a touch of the gotcha approach. But all things are relative and there are many much much worse. in reply to Polyquats #
@Polyquats I like your approach… Sometimes I realise I'm being overly generous! in reply to Polyquats #
BBC World is covering a demonstration at Westminster – crowd is demanding proportional representation. #
Protestor suggests that David Milliband will be Prime Minister by this time next week… #
"We want to see Nick," protestors chant outside Liberal Democrats meeting in London. #
Ignorance exposed! http://bit.ly/14qKi1 RT @Haggis01: That's Billy Bragg. Listen to his music. Speaks more sense than any politican. #
Just caught up with this very interesting PBS @NewsHour report on social media in American politics: http://to.pbs.org/dlTJPR #

@feneleyinlondon Imagine the stats we'd get from a similar report here: http://bit.ly/aZw5kQ in reply to feneleyinlondon #
BBC's Nik Gowing holds up cartoon but says he can't read out the two words… http://twitpic.com/1m37ds #
Nick Clegg speaks to protesting crown in London… says he never thought he'd see people on the streets for proportional representation. #
Clegg speaks to crowd via a megaphone – old technology delivering his message of "new politics"… #
Clegg says this is an opportunity for change – says a statement on his talks with Conservatives will come later. #
AUDIO of Nick Clegg's comments to protestors demanding proportional representation in London: http://bit.ly/a5A2xA #

AUDIO of David Cameron's "big, open and comprehensive" offer to the Liberal Democrats: http://bit.ly/a3tk9A – May 7, 2010 #
@Haggis01 I meant MY ignorance! Contemporary music is not one of my strong points. Thanks for alerting me. in reply to Haggis01 #
