Wrong

In their latest post, the PLP blog is (surprise, surprise) attacking Michael Dunkley again. Unfortunately, one of their accusations is flat wrong:

"Dunkley Never Condemned Vile, Racist Cartoons. UBP supporters compared the Premier to Hitler, Mussolini and Idi Amin. Michael Dunkley declined to condemn these vile, disgusting and racist attacks."

Uh, yes he did:

Mr. Dunkley said: "We don't know who is behind this or who is putting them out there, but we do not accept them or tolerate them in any way.

"I want to be clear that we do not accept or condone this kind of behaviour and ask all individuals involved to join us on the high road."

I expect the PLP's blog will be issuing an apology shortly.

UPDATE: Following the publication of this post, the PLP amended their statement thus:

"Dunkley Never Condemned Did Not Strongly Condemn Vile, Racist Cartoons. UBP supporters compared the Premier to Hitler, Mussolini and Idi Amin. Michael Dunkley declined to condemn never overtly condemned these vile, disgusting and racist attacks. Update: Per the linked post, Michael Dunkley said that the UBP didn't "accept," "tolerate" or "condone" the ads -- however, he failed to outright condemn the ads."

Give it up, guys. You're just making yourselves look foolish.
