.
The quote is nowhere need as outrageous in the context of the topic. He is talking about the attitude of the British Press and some people towards Germany and it was written in the mist of a slew of articles about the Germany economy.

Therefore I would suggest the 'Put in our place' would mean to recognise that we could learn a lot from Germany and their economy rather than dismissing them. The two people that you were put in red were people who sued for constructive dismissal because of nazi songs/slogans/jokes directed at them for being German. That is the mindset he was referring too.

So his quote is understandable in that context.

Well does his square with the amount of criticism Labour get's for smearing the Tories? We're either against spin, smears and "dirty" politics or we are for it when it's in our favour. Which is it?

The Lib Dems deserve to be investigated. Clegg's donations, lobbying past are part of this. However, The Mail and Sun's campaigns are no different to what Labour did,. only more intense.
