Even the Loon-roots Think Miliband Is Wrong

If you ever want to see the fruitier side of extremism and left-wingery online in the UK just head over to

Liberal Conspiracy

for approximately fourteen seconds. TB couldn't help but notice that even the delectable

Soho-Politico

was scathing about the disgusting smear tactics that Labour and the left, especially those at Lib Con, have used against the Conservative Party and their allies:

Now, MacShane’s attacks on the Tories’ European alliance have not, in my view, been at all effective, and the emailed list of questions is also fundamentally wrong-headed. The questions are intemperate, and each take a ‘When did you stop beating your wife?’ type format, for instance:

4. Does he [Hague] support kaminski’s homophobic language?

6. Will hague be joining his new friends in Latvia when they commemorate the Waffen SS?

10. Does he agree with the Economist that he has created a “shoddy, shameful alliance” with Kaminski and Vile?

This type of non-serious questioning is counter-productive: it only aids the Tory counter-claim that Kaminski and others are the victims of a baseless smear campaign. If interest in the details of the Conservatives’ Euro alliance dies a premature death, or the public and media swing decisively behind the Tories’ narrative, it will be because of misjudged attacks like this.

The rest of the post descends into mindless drivel, a return to normality for it's platform, however it is interesting to note that Labour and Miliband's tactics are being universally derided from the right and the hard left.

At this rate it's just going to be James Macintyre and Miliband D left looking like fools. Shame.
