Palestine, Gaza and Israel – The Blog War begins

iain dale, The Mainly Dale, Daily Mail

The Mainly Dale, freshly briefed by his hosts from his recent trip to Israel, has come out 100% for Israel’s actions, publishing many of the points from Conservative Friends of Israel’s briefing.
He thinks “it’s a shame” that William Hague, amongst other things, deeply regretted the loss of civilian life in Gaza and that Hague called on the Israeli government to show restraint.
It’s all kicking off in the comments.
Next week – Iain Dale gets a freebie from Easyjet, The Mainly Dale changes colour scheme to orange in appreciation and campaigns for the airline to use thousands of unemployed laid side by side as mobile runways.

Damien Green Gate – Tories produce tape

Update 2: The Tories have now (really) produced a videotape of the police search of Damian Green’s Parliamentary office. As far as I can see it does nothing but keep the kettle lukewarm.

What with the ‘Zanu Labour’ and ‘Stalinesque’ attacks and now this non-exposé, the Tories are unintentionally making themselves look desperate and panicked when, I suppose, they intend their campaign to have this effect on the government.

Now it’s starting to look if they really have something they want to bury and are keen for any investigation to be curtailed.

Update:
Here’s a cropped version of yesterday’s image for Channel 4 News.

Morten Morland has created an image along similar lines but much classier here.
