Sort of, except the Liberal Democrats haven’t been in so much trouble yet.
It will be interesting to see how chief political invertebrate will manage to worm itself out of this mess. Meanwhile, the blogosphere has hotted up. Offshore tycoon Guido Fawkes knows he’s on much firmer ground than his (much nobler) colleague Iain Dale. Firstly, it is now not considered defamatory to call somebody homosexual, therefore making a false statement about someone’s sexuality may not be an issue. Guido will be on rockier ground (or at least his server might) if he is accused of inciting his audience to homophobic remarks, however please note that it would be exceptionally hard to prove that Guido had intended to do this as part of his ‘mens rea’ in committing any offence under law.
I suspect the latter of these two stories will die. The first one will be hot at least until it happens, as the Twitter communication between @ollygrender and @gabyhinsliff alluded to earlier.
Somebody sharing a twin room in a busy campaigning schedule, is not particularly exciting, guys.
