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 Dobrovolskiâââ€Å ¡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‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t prevent one or two papers running with the story."

Does that sound to you like the finest traditions of British Politics? |
I believe you grossly exaggerating this incident of being the Labour Party's action re gutter politics. The man was interviewed on TV: of course in such circumstances he was well known Labour activist he was indeed kicked and a leaflet from Respect was thrown at him, assume there were no witnesses to the incident. You will have to do better than this and issuing statements like you did lowers your own credibilty.

Or are you just pendantically picking nits in a desperate attempt to score a point? If so, please tell me and I'll stop wasting time replying.

Reading your posts one gets the impression you are the pedantic one. You have not provided evidence to back your ridiculous claim.
Maybe you should read this Telegraph article, registered users,
Police move in
Which outlines the nasty behaviour of Respect supporters, even Ken Livingstone was horrified!
