I was really trying to demonstrate what a personal attack would look like. That's not to say his blog doesn't do that. <BR/><BR/>I guess my point is more the double standards of it - his pointing out the blogosphere's outcry that Hannan's speech hasn't been picked up by the MSM... yet himself using the blogosphere to be picked up by the MSM in order to win votes.Malchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191161151984519900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719459558369549533.post-43860071115149977832009-03-26T15:05:00.000+00:002009-03-26T15:05:00.000+00:00In general terms I agree with Malc, but on the oth...In general terms I agree with Malc, but on the other hand Tom Harris's post was responding to the over the top reaction to Hannan's speech (as I've blogged about), so perhaps it's the usual case of frenzy begetting hysteria, or something like that!<BR/><BR/>On the other hand I think your comments about Tom Harris are a bit harsh, Malc, since his actions that you criticise are hardly confined to him or to his party colleagues.<BR/><BR/>Presumably the reason he uses his blog in the way you castigate is because he's rather good at it - can't say I'm an avid reader of his, but if even Iain Dale regrets that Tom wasn't shortlisted for the Orwell prize then he must be doing something right!Stuart Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772436419630464325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719459558369549533.post-51356452474900867672009-03-26T14:34:00.000+00:002009-03-26T14:34:00.000+00:00I'm surprised Nigel Griffiths hasn't been out defe...I'm surprised Nigel Griffiths hasn't been out defending Brown yet.
