This (in the Mail) has just appeared about efforts from within the Nr 10 apparatus to smear senior members of the Shadow Cabinet. Mr MacPoison, the gentleman on the left, so to speak, has resigned. The justification for their purile behaviour seems to be that many bloggers are 'right-wing'. Are they? As anyone with even the slightest experience of conservative politics knows, the centre Right is just as fissiparous over a range of issues as the Left.
