Matthew Revell takes a look at politics from a Wolverhampton perspective.
Studio guest: Carl Husted (Conservative).
* 02:31 - Alisher Usmanov’s solicitors have temporarily silenced the blog of Craig Murray, the UK’s former ambassador to Uzbekistan, along with those of Boris Johnson, Bob Piper and Tim Ireland’s Bloggerheads. Blogger Mr Eugenides chats about the importance of freedom of speech and how the UK’s libel laws work in favour of rich plaintiffs.

Hey, nice podcast. You appear to be a good presenter even when not being insulted by random Linux geeks.
Congratulations on the Communist interview, it pulled me in from a non-Linux related source, and I’m in Cambridge.
