I'm pretty sure there's a quote somwhere from a Lib Dem saying that domestic violence should not be tolerated and that provocation is no excuse.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to the calls for an example to be made.Labanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031578024191117985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1146074164352119052006-04-26T18:56:00.000+01:002006-04-26T18:56:00.000+01:00Sorry to sound cynical, but did she get paid for t...Sorry to sound cynical, but did she get paid for this article?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1146070192421021032006-04-26T17:49:00.000+01:002006-04-26T17:49:00.000+01:00Had Mark Oaten been a Conservative, the Lib Dems w...Had Mark Oaten been a Conservative, the Lib Dems would have been screaming blue murder (well, they were in the 90's for far less.)<BR/><BR/>Does the fact that most Conservatives are keeping reasonably quiet about this tell you something about the differences between Lib Dem and Conservative supporters? I think it does, and just for the smart-alecy Lib Dems that might think of chirping up with an anti-Conservative comment - don't bother - what Mark Oaten did with rent boys and put his wife through was sick and twisted, and reflects extremely poorly on your party.Chris Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270498803593841764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1146068430925780942006-04-26T17:20:00.000+01:002006-04-26T17:20:00.000+01:00I'm not gloating - but if it's in the public domai...I'm not gloating - but if it's in the public domain surely one is allowed to comment on it!
