Ten beastly commentators

We’ve all heard of Larry, the proficient new Downing Street rat-catcher. But what about other political furry friends whose skills lie in the field of rhetoric?

[1] delivers political musings from the unusual perspective of “the IT guy”. Lord of the Rings references abound.

Anna Racoon [2] writes thoughtfully about some of the shortcomings of the mainstream media.

Caedmon’s Cat [3] requires serious concentration to understand the historical allusions in every post, but the effort is intermittently worth it.

The upward-biting Underdog [4] describes himself as “one of those intellectuals so despised by the totalitarian regimes, but without the money”.

The Ranting Penguin [5] is expert in all matters of hypocrisy, but his fruity squawks may put some readers off.

One hircine commentator claims it is Not a Sheep [6], preferring to explain its horned stance on issues of diversity and multiculturalism as the work of a goat.

Ambush Predator [7] is a little more circumspect about its taxonomy, but appears to be a big cat. Expect displeasure at British justice.

The Salted Slug [8] offers a libertarian perspective on politics, science and the predictive power of opossums [9].

The famed polemicist Tory Bear [10] is no more, but you never know with stuffed – or potentially stuffed – animals, as Fox in Parliament [11]’s latest post suggests.
