Following my post below, after which he declared he had removed the offensive comments from his website before I wrote about them, Guido Fawkes has made the following contribution to intelligent debate:

…If it is the case that Blair and Campbell cooked up the dodgy dossier as some sort of quid pro quo for pro-Israeli funders and not just out of greed then this is a whole other kettle of saltfish. I don't know what you've been reading but I haven't read any ‘digs’ about ‘the Jews’ but only people making fairly understandable observations about the proximity of so many of the cast of grotesques to the Friends of Israel, to successive Labour fundraisers being pro-Israeli and to Mr Abrahams being pro-Israeli and to NewLabour, alone amongst European parties, colluding in a genocidal assault on Muslim civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and, with distinction, in Guantanamo Bay, much to the joy, one can only presume, of the hospital bombers in Tel Aviv and the Friends of Israel on Capitol Hill.

Melanie Alibhai Phillips, of course, would suppress any comment which differed from her own poisonous misanthropy on the grounds that anyone not wedded to her own belligerent, half-witted world view, her odious bullying and her unspeakable stupidity is obviously a Nazi; you sound as though you are of the same stripe. It ain't anti-semitism, stupid, it's anti-criminal. But you know that anyway.

ps I thought all Welshmen were called the same thing, Taffy. It is encouraging to learn they have second names, too, bach. Almost like decent English people.
