Fab 5: Tuesday 2 February 2010

February 2nd, 2010 by Alex Baker

Another Fab 5 for you today:

  • The Pope has caused controversy today with his comments about homosexuality and the UK equalities bill. Simon Jenkins, writing for the Guardian, believes the views to be odious but agrees with the substantive point about freedom vs. equality. Meanwhile, Daryn McCombe, writing for Left Foot Forward, disagrees, suggesting natural law and UK equalities legislation are consistent.
  • FreethinkingEconomist tackles some of the issues relating to high UK gross debt and economic growth in a technical post on the matter, although nonetheless worth reading for its rebuttal of some right-wing claims.
  • Paul Waugh has an interesting post about how the major parties are fighting the BNP in Barking, East London.
  • Finally, Luke Akehurst was disappointed by Channel 4′s Tower Block of Commons, and the MPs who featured in it.
