Would you care to provide the evidence to substantiate your allegation that "the Labour Party attacked him in the election campaign is in the lowest traditions of British gutter politics"
"AN ELDERLY man claims that he suffered a broken nose and wrist and a cut face when he was attacked after refusing to accept an election leaflet from supporters of George Gallowayââ‚à ƒ‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s Respect party. [...]

"Mr Dobrovolski, who is a Labour Party member, was treated in hospital for his injuries."

However:

"When I check I realise that the leaflet wasnââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t produced until two days after the assault. And when I check with the police, they say that in Dobrovolskiââ ¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s statement there was no mention of a Respect supporter attacking him. They put out an advisory to the press about this, which doesnââ‚ÆšÂ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t prevent one or two papers running with the story."

Does that sound to you like the finest traditions of British Politics?
