Just a couple of things that I thought were good.

Iraq the Model is always worth listening to, but they're full of commonsense about Al-Sadr and illuminating in their discussion of the methods of arab strongmen in the region- it's interesting that they trace it back to Egypt's Nasser. They still keep getting trolls saying they are CIA agents or something, but no-one in the CIA ever talked this much sense!

Also good, and very funny, is this post from Dr Richard North at EU Referendum blog. Denis Macshane (aka some Polish name difficult to remember) has been saying something to the effect that Euro-sceptics have been watching too many war films. Not v. clever if you want to win a referendum sometime, but hey, carry on Europe Minister.
