Things we talked about include:

• BNP leader Nick Griffin appeared on Question Time this week. How did he come off? Is there any truth in his assertion that the BBC rigged the show against him? Do we even care?!
• A number of blog posts this week, including Unity’s at Liberal Conspiracy and Dr Belinda Brooks Gordon’s guest post on Charlotte Gore’s blog, have taken the Home Office to task about their statistics on sex trafficking. Do the figures add up – and if they don’t is there anything we can do about it?
• Britain has hit its sixth consecutive quarter of negative economic growth, making this recession the longest in recorded history. What are the economic and political implications of this?
• The Conservatives are ‘considering’ using all-women shortlists to boost the number of potential female Conservative MPs. Are they necessary, and if so – why? Also, why is the blogosphere so male-dominated?
