Labour Planted Story Falls Flat

The hysterical lefties have finally found a way of attacking the Tories

Crash-Gordon
site. After a weekend of jealous silence, finally
Political Scrapbook
has a err, neatly packaged, story claiming that because the people that built the site for CCHQ have worked for some right-wingers in the states then the whole project can be instantly poo-pooed. Does he really want to go down this ridiculous line of attack?

Is that the faint sound of hypocrisy TB hears? PS uses Wordpress. Lots of people he disagrees with use Wordpress. He going to cry about that? But lets try an example closer to home. Take LabourList and the Labour website for example. Both hosted and run by Tangent Labs. Funnily enough Tangent's owner Michael Green is a Tory donor and gave money directly to Cameron's leadership campaign. He takes hundreds of thousands from the left but is a tory. He going to whine about that?

No didn't think so.


UPDATE: Like with so many tech stories, Dizzy has the
last word.

Brilliant! Similar in fact to when Tom Harris attacked YBF, all the while his website designed and maintained by Rouse Media, headed by Mike Rouse, Head of Technology for... Young Britons' Foundation!

Lefties really are CRAP at technology, aren't they?

I think there's plenty of people on the left who despise Tangent. Not because they're run by a Tory, but because they're a bit shit.

Better counter-piece to what I came up with:

Far less tedious, much more effective.

I've posted it on my Facebook.

The risk that might friends will think I'm a Tory was outweighed by opportunity to poke Labour twerps with a stick and watch them squeal.
