That doesn't make them OK, but at least there's some vague rationale behind them.

But only one party is carrying on this kind of behaviour outside of an election campaign and on the taxpayer's bill (as V4P pointed out). That would be the Cons.

To which I say bullsh1te. I have received crap from Neville recently that is every bit as attack-ad-ish political in tone as anything Glover or other PCers have sent out.
