The nasty party: Tory blogger ‘outs’ Labour blogger which forces him offline

Earlier this week a Tory blogger published the name of the person behind the anonymously written anti-conservative ‘Conservative and Unionist blog’ and the website ‘Hate My Tory’, the justification for which rightly ridiculed by Labour blogger Bob Piper.

A day later, that same Tory blogger crowed about the sites being taken offline. Today The Times Diary reveals the reason why – the blogger works for the CBI and, once no longer anonymous, it seems the Labour blogger is unable to continue to write what he thinks about the Conservatives.

Next time a Tory claims to back free speech, remember this and remind yourself that they’re still the nasty party.
