Iain Dale highlights the Daily Mail's attitude towards gay Tory candidates and is going to the Press Complaints Commission to complain (quite rightly so in my opinion).
Tomorrow the Conservative Party chooses to use the Daily Mail to publicise their new proposals on caring for the elderly.
So what is the Tory Party doing ? Are they endorsing the views of The Daily Mail ?

Do you recall the old song?
You can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses..
So the Mail's xenophobia, homophobia and neo fascism will tell you a lot about the Tory party stripped to its roots.
The Mail did quite a bit of work to try and distance itself from its nastinesses I thought (without actually reading it) from references to some of its campaigns over the past 18 months or so.
BUT Dale has been maligned by their suggestion that his gayness, which they describe as "overt" rather than "open" is a leading feature of his political appeal.
The point will be mooted and I find it unfair and so am objecting to the PCC. Lord they want me to get the form of my objection right, don't they?

However the difference between "openly" and "overt" is less than that between "unredacted" and "censored" and so in some ways it is the biter bit.
But lots of the rest of you failed to leave the difference between those words sacrosanct when you were making largely anti HMG propaganda at the height of the Expenses Brou Ha ha.
"So the Mail's xenophobia, homophobia and neo fascism will tell you a lot about the Tory party stripped to its roots."
Meaning the Labour Party, with its screeching misandrists, West Lothian Question, Barnett Formula, smear campaigns, etc, is a den of goodness and fair-mindedness?
