My impression is that the vast majority of Guido's posters are antisocial, borderline-psychotic internet trolls attracted to the 'fame' that his statporn draws. TB's readers seem to be fairly similar to Iain's, and may include some Tory activists, but that falls down for you since - as here - there's very little (if any) racism or homophobia.<br /><br />And, so, we still have that whole Minister of the Crown blatantly lying to the public thing...The King of Wronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439966612208152425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-88926934647785834702010-02-17T08:27:55.853+00:002010-02-17T08:27:55.853+00:00@golden balls.
