Nothing Says Grrr Like a Fisk

Busy day for TB but amused by this continuing tête à tête between Christian May and Heydon Prowse. CM has replied with a fisk. Scroll down the page for background.

"Some points: I never agreed to have an interview published in Labourlist. Seems like an interview to me. But then again, Mr Prowse has some experience about tricking people into interivews. I've never met Christian May (although I'm pretty sure he definitely reads The Guardian and maybe even Red Pepper). The last time I purchased the Guardian I was a university student, using it as an illustration of poor quality journalism in a presentation. I got a very high mark. I can't think of a bigger waste of my time than to get involved in this petty left/right bickering. Well at the risk of sounding like a kid, you started it. You really did. I can't believe a hugely important guy like Christian had time to write a 500 word response to a misquoted article that about 100 people read. Well it didn't take long to write, given that my passions were raw. Also, Alex Smith take note; Mr Prowse thinks only 100 people read your site. Perhaps he isn't the darling of the Left? I didn't read all of your reply Christian cos [sic] it was very boring and I have work to do, but it all sounds very good and noble. Thanks very much. It's probably fair to say that more thought has gone into my political views than has ever gone into your opportunistic, inaccurate, cheap, quick-sell political films. I guarantee, however, that your darlings Cameron and Osborne will sell out the Conservative roots and young idealists just as thoroughly as Labour did. If you know something about the Conservative Party that I don't, please let me know. As it stands, I'm happy to advocate on behalf of a Party I believe in. Not all of us are willing to write off politics simply because we're swept up in a populist anti-politics mood. Open your mind, Mr Prowse."

Over to your Heydon.
