App: Map View. The Fork in the Path. When users of the Guardian website started to wonder at the way certain kinds of stories were handled in Guardian editorials the Peterloo Avatar campaign was born to try to open a dialogue with the editors.
The definitive reply from the Guardian’s editor has made it clear they don’t prioritise the issues raised about the editorial policies and the moderation of user posts in its comment areas. I think the most eloquent response to this came during an email correspondence from a Guardian CiF user called Hyperlink I feel what you are doing is of great significance and should be supported by all those who believe in free speech especially – now as in the coming days/months the corporate players will be using ever more energy to stifle debate.
Ron Paul – The Invisible Precedent? There are some things that need to be made clear first.
These days, I’ve gone from not liking politicians to detesting them. In both Britain and America, those in or seeking public office seem to evoke a strong response in me. Disbelief that anyone so out of touch with reality could even think about putting themselves up for election. Shelley and Peterloo. Most people who quote Shelley’s famous lines from The Mask of Anarchy, although they will know that the poem was written as a response to the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, will probably not realise that it was not published that year – not, in fact, until 1832, the year of the First Reform Bill.
By that time, Shelley had been dead for ten years. He had mailed the ninety-one stanzas of the poem on 23 September 1819, to his London publisher, Leigh Hunt, for inclusion in his periodical The Examiner. But Hunt did not publish it. Why?

Peterloo was a critical event not only because of the number of people killed and injured, but because ultimately it changed public opinion to influence the extension of the right to vote and give us the democracy we enjoy today. We've discovered that we are part of a long tradition, people have been demanding a fitting memorial for well over a hundred years! Comment is not Free. All CiF graph posts.

Left view with names showing the Axis of Evil A right view showing our cyan arrival. Mapping the CiF and the Axis of Evil. First things first, I need control data for the axis of evil – to do this I’ve grouped some fairly black and white politicians and famous people and all you have to do is decide on their moral integrity.
As to working on the cartoon comment section map it looks like my worries about 3D graphing were unfounded. I already have a passing acquaintance with Blender. The solution is simply to write a short python script that will create objects and use the data points to place the object in 3d space. Of course one of the advantages of using a real 3d app is you get to play with lighting rigs, rather than relying on image transparencies to fake shadows and highlights: Latest CiF graph for 18th October.

Which is pearltrees – part blog, part social media, part flow chart. It is made up of “nodes” (the pearls). Each node is fully customisable – descritpions, notes, custom icons, which are then anchored on a root node (the base of the tree).It sounds more complicated than it actually is, here is me prepping articles about the Rothschilds’ influence on UK politics for example: My pearltree showing my bookmarks for The Rothschilds influence on UK politics Mousing over a node will open up a mini view of the page linked to What's that "Bloody Milton" thingie....?
Anyone can browse a pearltree, go on have a play – – however an account is needed to actually make one. It’s fully web 2.0, with feeds for twitter, facebook et al, and you can also check for similar content in other users pearl trees, meaning you will often find things that interest you that you may not have normally come across. Grabbism: more pearls. Grabbism: rebranding Freidman (click to visit/navigate the tree) So you know the deal during a debate you made some posts which you think you’d like to refer back to on CiF.
What this normally means for me, is logging into CiF clicking on my profile, then the link to display all my comments and scrolling about. Depending on the amount of posts I’ve made in the interim, I may even have to use the search function to find the phrase I’m intending to repost or link to, while opening separate browser windows for any source docs I may have used. What you can see above is a screen grab of a sub-tree, where I’ve bookmarked each post, dragged them into chronological order and set their names to key phrases contained within, and I’ve also included some background docs. You can click on the image above if you want to navigate the tree in real time.
Hope you didn’t pay a lot for that. New Conservative party logo proposal Given the latest poll results which are remarkable if only for mapping the drop in polarity for the Conservatives over the 2 day period that the poll was carried out just prior to the opening of their Manchester Grim Display of United Front Chatroom, I thought the Conservative party logo should get a retouch. Gone are the vibrant greens, in are the dying ones. Out go the blues in come the darkening skies of economic apocalypse, whose flickering shadows play across that brown and dessicated land. Gone is the slightly angled trunk suggesting charm and character, to be replaced with a more drastic lurch to the right, suggesting it may just keel over if strong enough winds come along.

All Peterloo posts Comment is not Free. We have had the definitive answer back from Alan Rusbridger – here it is in full: Thank you for both your correspondence and for your patience in waiting for a response to your concerns about the Guardian’s stance regarding the Liberal Democrats. As I said in an open thread just before the 2010 election, the Guardian is the only national newspaper with no proprietor and is free from any party political allegiance.
It’s a rather circuitous reply but in short, they’re happy with the editorial policy as it is. Peterloo update. I’d like to say a big thank you to Light a Carrot for looking after the blog and particularly for this beautifully eloquent post. Having been more out of touch than I had intended I’ve been reading back over what I missed while I was away, and boy was it an exciting read. I have to say it came as no great surprise that Julian Glover has decided to leave his job as journalist and chief leader writer of the Guardian, and I wish him every success with his new venture as script writer for David Cameron – who is no doubt hoping Julian will help him to pick up those “lost liberals”.
