Dirty politics is far from necessary. We're all grown up and should be able to deal with our business without publicly embarrassing each other. The latest online venture by the Tories - the already defunct www.cash-gordon.com - was a nasty attempt to smear PM Brown. No doubt that the financial dealings of PMs and MPs are important in light of recent events, but made-up sleaze campaigns on the internet should be above popularly elected politicians.
The website was meant to link the PM with the Unite Union and basically claimed that the union workers are in Mr Brown's pocket. Of late, Ex Brownite and current Unite man Charles Wheelan have done the media rounds and been ostracised by the Conservatives . What happened with the Cash-Gordon site was an alleged hacker attack where its Twitter feed, which was hooked up to the website, was showing pornography, swearwords, Rick Astley videos and malware links. Whoever was behind the website and the attacks seriously underestimate the wish of the British people - supported by T4L - to fight a fair and square election campaign.
